Lost in Translation

Porcell emailed me asking if I watched the season finale of a show called Lost , I had to chuckle because once I was lost in the material world, here's my response to him :

Promises of paradise, to you I sacrifice my life
I'll take you with me to my after-life if I could
Yeah just have faith it will begin,
Filling that void that lies within;
Turn off your brain and tune on in,
You know you should
You're in the center of our family
Lord of our home;
You're the one we turn to when we're alone
I've got faith in your words I live what you say;
Oh yes I accept will you show me the way?
And you know you better pray!
Everyday!
You better pray... to your Television
Gather 'round and come to mass,
Religiously drag your lazy ass
We just listen we don't ask ain't that the truth?
Our morning meditation, our daily routine
Prime time communion keeps the consciousness clean
The prophets are the stars worshiped on our screen
Proselytized, hypnotized by a machine!
Opiate of the masses have you bowed down yet?
Looking for reality but static's all I get
So many problems in life
But now they're easy to forget
How can I repay the debt to my T.V. Set?!

Truthiness ?

Who is this fricken guy and what is his deal? Is he a republican, is he a democrat, is he acting, serious or just a clown? He's like the Crucial Youth of news reporting. If we ran into him on the Youth Across America tour in 88 we would have called him a "sap", shout out to Tom Capone for that word.

Modern Love Story

When I wrote Modern Love Story the world was a different place. These four miserable women didn't exist, the meatpacking district wasn't a place to sip mojitos and try to bag Mr.Big and the only HBO Series I knew about was the Hitchhiker.

You might not be that nose and painfully ugly face SJP but you are still an awful person.

Potential Friends

Natural disasters are nothing to make jokes about, but if you're physically strong and limber from yoga you can jump over them. Thoughts and prayers to our potential friends in China. Hey Earthquake, I hope you don't....KEEP IT UP!

Everybody Come Join the Parade

At first glance this does look like the stage at the Anthrax in 1988 when we played with Side By Side and Gorilla Biscuits but these shirtless hunks are at a Gay Pride parade, Hardcore shows are the other place where a bunch of shirtless guys hung out with no women around and get sweaty...uhmmm HELLO!

Might As Well

Anyone can Put It Aside and do a reunion, even Diamond Dave and Eddie. Porcell can't finger tap or play Eruption but he has his original tongue.

Dark Side Of The Moon

One of the only places my journey hasn't taken me is outer space but in one of my lives I was an astronaut so maybe this body hasn't been there but my soul has been there many times. I'm not this body, I'm not this wrist, this robust nose, this goatee or even this ingrown toe nail.
