HAPPY NEW TEARS VOL. 9 (AIRPLANE EDITION)

Hello beautiful readers - I want to share with you my airplane playlist as I take off on an 11 hour flight from Los Angeles to Santiago, Chile today. Please listen along with me today and feel the synchronicity. I need your energy! Before long flights I like to make playlists that will comfort me in what is otherwise a very traumatic experience, as I don’t like to be enclosed or pinned down. Very rough week getting ready for these shows with Amy’s health. Thinking of you all and am looking forwa...

ON THE MAN WHO ASSAULTED ME YESTERDAY

And then sometimes I question if by writing at all I am too at odds with nature. Walking and filming the man who randomly assaulted me yesterday for miles through Hollywood until he took a northbound train to end my documentary. Trying to make sense of anything. I was able to nurture the boy in me who would have cut him years ago, but that doesn’t mean we slept well last night.

What are the clouds saying? It looks like rain from every angle. Then I take out my pen and try to shape them into some...

POEMS FROM THIEVES

In 2017 I released a small collection of poems called Thieves Of Youth which has been unavailable since. Tomorrow on Heartworm we will have a limited second edition of 150 copies available with a reversed cover, along with another new title available that has been years in the making.

Here are some selections from Thieves Of Youth.

NINETEEN NINETY NOTHING

Why should I believe that all of these people with pretend names have real beliefs? What is the statute of limitations, these days, on current affairs? 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 months, 5 years… what’s the difference? It’s fascinating how we sell ourselves out so fast. You could just take every story ever and throw them all away. Climb a vine to the sky. Stick a flag in the cloud. Breathe for the first time. Smile. Say “Fuck You. This is all mine.”

I just don’t want world war. I w...

I DON'T WANT TO BE LIED TO FROM EACH SHIFTING HAND OF THE COMPASS WE'RE FORCED TO PUT FAITH IN

“My eyes… My goddamned eyes.”

Said this several times over the last week after deciding to start cataloguing my record collection to my discogs page, mostly because I got the itch to collect again and while in stores I’m not sure whether I have something already or not. So I did this and got to about 1,000 entries and trailed off leaving behind most of the 60’s and 70’s because they are so time consuming. And my eyes, they bled. It was nice to reminisce and listen and it was sad to remember reco...

PATTY WATERS SINGS THE SWIRLIES FROM HER HOLLYWOOD COVEN

Patty Waters passes into the ether. I’m on the couch begging the air conditioner to cool me and drown out the violent gardening… some killer on the loose, taking life from right before your weary eyes. I’m in my Swirlies shirt and satin underwear listening to College Tour, the first ESP-Disk album I ever purchased, after reading a list some 25 years ago about the weirdest albums ever made. Sold. Rest In Peace Patty. Thank You for sharing your gift. I’m in my shorts because of the heat… because I...

SHOW ME YOURS

I know but I’ve been trying to take care of my brain and body and that’s half-working. For no good reason I couldn’t really sleep. We take on a lot and we do it with love and pride and belief but lately I’ve been wondering what life may be like if we had serious help in our life in terms of band management and Heartworm assistance. It just keeps growing. In a few months we have a handful of shows so there’s a lot of work to do. Final touches on new songs… rebuilding the set… it feels like starti...
