The Rezillos also recorded as the Revillos and they were great!

I am rich in pretty lady points though, but last I checked I was only able to trade that in at one place.

I am quite opposite of rich right now. Im 50 grand in debt. But if I was rich, I would let you HAVE some money.

Gig was good. There were actually a few people listening. I am recording tonight, so I am up for that. Tonight it is a jolly number called 'The Death Of Little Willie John'.

The Crimson show sounds great. Fripp has been like that for years. I saw Crimson in the 80s, and my friend said he tended to play behind the curtains on the left, so we got second row right aisle seats so we could see him, and of course the bugger chose that night to sit on the right behind the curtain. I saw the League Of Crafty Guitarists which was a little up its own bottom but good too in its way. Glad you enjoyed it. Adrian Belew. Thats the geezer. I find his personality slightly overpowering but I also like those squeally noises his strat makes.

You were more coherent than a very coherent person.

How was Crimson?

I want to eat those beautiful brains of yours. Hope you defeated the boredom.

Lucky old you. I have been a fan of Crimson/Fripp for many a moon. If they do a number that is all dense guitars and pretty much nothing else called 'red' give a cheer from me as that is a favorite of mine. I would like to know what the lineup is. I would guess Fripp, Tony Levin, Bill Bruford and the bloke from Talking Heads/Zappa who did .Elephant; and whose name I can;t remember right now. Have fun. I am travelling to Oxnard to see my immigration attorny this weekend, and then back for a gig, mercifully in an air conditioned hall, I am just listening to old Black Keys, tortoise and Richard Thompson - Toodle Pip from the original 21stCentury Schizoid man!

Don't get me wrong. I watch reality TV like everyone else. My current fave is 'The Two Corey's', although I will actually admit to watching 'America's Got Talent' now and then. On one desolate Sunday when I was recovering from a migraine I actually saw a whole season of 'America's Top Model' on MTV. True, in my pitifully weakened state I wasn't up to operating the remote but I watched it just the same. By the way, I had to look up who Mr Thicke was because I didn't know, so who is the dork now!

they usually give us a credit, we have been on several of those little Porterville recorder videos, but not that one, for some reason. There was hardly anyone at the event because of the heat. By the way, I did get my water turned back on so all is peace and light here in Happy V alley. I am not watching Project Runway but I am half watching 'the Maltese Falcon' on TCM for the 9 millionth time. Peter Lorre was a God! have you ever seen 'M'?

Bad day. Forgot to pay the water bill, water got turned off, car is off the road till friday so I have to walk to the bank and then city hall to get it turned on again. Meanwhile, the local paper have a video of the event we played Saturday. We are on the last 40 seconds of it. http://www.re corderonline.com/video/index. php?bcpid=1155282116&bclid=11 73324681&bctid=1725276553

I haven't got any fiction up anywhere at the moment but when/if I do I will let you know. I must have got heat stroke or something on Saturday, I have been feeling crap ever since, but I feel a bit brighter today and I might write a blog entry or two. I have a mix on here I am working on as well. Then again, i might actually get down to some bloody work. I'll try not to though!

Oh, vacation is the kind of word I wanna hear! It sounds so... distant.

Don't worry, I'll only panic about the box until it's sent and delivered. What happens then is out of my hands.

Here is a link to Jimmy Boy http://www.divsha re.com/download/5145916-f46

It has been a rough day today gigging in 100f heat and dealing with smalltown shit, but the last 30 minutes has been pretty good. I just read your blog. You tell stories and paint pictures with words. Also, I liked how the monologues had their own rhythyms. The Dad/Circus one was very beautiful, the football game one took a suprizsng turn but it was the one about Miki and Niki that really got to me. As I read it I kept thinking of this song that tells a similar story, 'Jimmy Boy' by Green On Red. Anyway, thankyou for letting me read that stuff

My midlife crisis (I call it that just in case I live to be 100) feels like the following:

The Fox News Channel is broadcasting misinformation from my lower intestines and there is nothing I can do about it...

While at the same time taking a reactionary position seems reasonable for the first time in my life...

I have given up wanting people to love me because time has told me this is an unlikely outcome...

Yet I resent the fact that people I meet don't immediately love me...

My ambitions seem more urgent...

The need to sleep 18 hours a day seems more urgent...

I am finally sure of my place in the world...

I am really fucked off at my place in the world...

But hey, everyone is different except for maybe Mormons and cloned sheep. Is there anything of yours anywhere I could read? I would really like to

Oh hellz yeahzs

Glad you had a nice getaway. I just had a few days at South Mission beach, San Diego, visiting my closest friend from England who was over on a family vacawtion with his inlaws. It was great to indulge in 'Londonspeak' for a few days. I didn't even know that existed until I was away from it and didn't haqve it any more. Anyway, it was a real tonic.

Glad you liked the blog and that you are writing. I have decided to shelve the theater book, for the moment at least, and have set myself the deadline of self publishing something by Christmas. I am also recording next month with a view to putting out a cd of originals so either the last third of the year will be mega productive, or it won't. I was planning a couple of blog entries tonight, but ever since I got home from the coast yesterday and hit the hotter than hot weather again, I have just felt achey and sleepy. I will give in to it now and try again tomorrow.

Did you have a fab, gear and groovy Birthday?

I think I got it wrong, perhaps. I am anything BUT a sugar freak, missy. I actually began buying a lot more candy/chocolate almost a year ago when you proposed the idea to me (half joking, I know, but who cares, I decided to come around). And I still haven't collected A LOT, just enough to fill a medium-sized box, I reckon. I'm sorry if candy wrappers means CANDY and not just the paper - I have given up on my dictionary, I drive on instinct. Me so silly. Let me know what you had in mind, 'cause I can't get this off mine now!

Aw, that's sad. Really. I am holding on to my Will tee good, don't you worry.

Well, WOO FOR YOU once again!!! You have no idea how many Kahlua flavored drinks and shots I had in your name last friday. You're gonna rock the party in late August.

Sweet sweet Beel, I had no idea it was your birthday! I would've sent a package with the (empty!, beel, they're empty! no candy inside) candy paper a week ago then.

Get up on that horse and ride into the sunset! You rock, I love you. I hope you had a lovely birthday - I bet you celebrated grand at the Magnetic Field!? :)

Once again, Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much love,
Your #1 crazy fan
