Re-wiring my brain daily, retired record store guy, indie punk band guy, sometimes I think it, sometimes I write it down. And sometimes I turn the page.
Real secondary character energy here.

When the line slides most of the way over to the antithetical side of the diagram, the Will is strong and the Creative Mind is weak; a person in this condition pays little attention to what is, and throws all his or her energy into creating what he or she thinks should be.

Amanda Pearl Shires is “Nobody’s Girl.”

This is a masterpiece. She has hit a very high mark with this record of breaking up and moving on to rebuild your life on your own terms. Pointed invective and heartbroken vignettes. Plain spoken and cathartic.

So happy to be my age. Old age not..
New age, don’t let it deceive you, pull the plug, don’t let it rule
You put me in a corner, while you’re trying to keep order

Meridian is a trip.
It's the little differences. I mean, they got the same shit over there they got here, but, it's just, just, there it's a little different.

I put a big jumbled mess of pent up frustration, anger and confusion on the YOU WONT WIN blog this week.

My man Stan Goff gets real about something that we see every day. “It’s an aesthetic . . . I call it “special ops knockoff, but with lots of noise, and Big Retail.”

Try it. Just try it. Keep walking, two legs. You and your canine companion. Yeah, that’s what I thought.
