not relating to will. or rachel. or any of the other ones. I think I could relate to will. even though I won't. but you're all welcome to read. here. WELCOME. less and less. okay. yes. someone mentioned steely dan. someone noticed a few of theirs in with other ones I have. and remarked. so. yes. other people like steely dan. I was surprised [I thought 'shocked' at first, but no longer.] to discover two [and then two.] of my...contemporaries [contemporary in only some aspects. I guess.] had never heard of jack kerouac. never. who hasn't heard of jack kerouac? gosh. I've said this a few times recently. everyone's at least HEARD of him. well. no. they haven't. obviously. one had heard of 'naked lunch'. but not william burroughs. I think hearing is the first step. I doubt they'll have heard of steely dan. in. any way. yeah. oh. FRUITLOOP - the one that isn't to lose that number is actually 'rikki'. not 'ricky'. easy mistake to make. I often mis-spell 'ricki lake'. often. really. she's younger than you think, you know. rikki fulton isn't dead. right? I like 'I'm your man'. well. I watched 'dune' yesterday. some people really don't like that film. I do. I think it's a lot of fun. good fun. and the theme is nice. tune. well. the theme, yeah. I have a television now. but no signal receiving device. so. I watch films. I have a video too. I watched 'dead man' last night. that was fun. people had been talking about william blake recently. and reading too. I bet. yeah: I like that film. 'specially the bit with iggy pop and billy bob thornton and the other guy. and crispin glover on the train. is fun. you know. he's not older than michael j. fox. oh. and neil young's twangy guitars. lovely. he's older than michael j. fox. of course. he co-directed[?] 'human highway' with dean stockwell. I like him. despite. some. he's done the david lynch ones. and wim wenders. and. 'anchors aweigh'. yeah: I like him. some people might think I have a lot of or too much fun. well. I told kirsten marie kenyon that we'll watch 'the straight story'. when she visits. I don't doubt that would be fun. and I decided that the best place to sit. to watch. is on st. vincent street. sometimes. although there are other good ones too. I lost it? SHOULD A BODY MEET A BODY COMING THROUGH THE RYE Ian Nicolson is right: I don't remind him of holden caulfield. and I don't remind me of him either. burns? I don't think I remind either of us of edwyn collins. even though that was All That Ever Mattered. STOP STARTIN' AND START DOUBLE-STOPPIN' did anyone make a convincing distinction between violins and fiddles? there's none! none distinction! right? if yer a violinist. ye have a violin. if yer a fiddler. well. that could be distinct enough. but not so punchy. viola...violist. I believe. the one thing I can always say about her is 'she looked very alive'. and could make me feel otherwise. ___________________________________________________ hey: yes. THE NATIONAL POP LEAGUE. on the friday. the ninth of november. it sounds really good. I won't dance. but I might want to. oh: yes. jonathan richman at king tut's wah-wah hut. on thursday. I hope I can fit it in. I need to manage my time better. or. just do some work now and again. that's right: now and again. that doesn't not make sense. oh my. they're all around me! one asks 'wasn't there a jack kerouac street somewhere?' I reply 'very probably: he's a very well-known person'. another is laughing at another because he's never heard of steve buscemi. I laugh at the laughing and one is offended and gives me: 'pop culture!'. I laugh more. and more. and return to him: 'beat generation?'. he looks hurt. and confused. not too hurt. and then he laughs when I inquire: 'what goes on?'. ... ooh, richard. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
