Something like this may or may not happen on any given night...
KONUNGARIKET SVERIGE...RockNRoll. hair. makeup. sleaze. spontaneity. vanity. profanity. originality. laughing. creative control. guitar solos. road trips. fortune cookies. buffets (they better fuckin have some popcorn shrimp and banana pudding...)clean sheets. mascara. living alone at Ruby's Riot House. Niceness. London vs. New York '74-'79, Halloween. sneering. devious smiles. napping -I will sleep you right under the table. 80's Night! Hot shoes and jacked-up hair. Online shopping, and lots of it, especially in this town. Dive bars. People-watching. Words. sporks. 2 for 1 deals. Winning consistently at Connect Four and Scrabble. Spending more money on the jukebox than drinks. Sharpie-ing (changing anything from an undesirable hue i.e. brown, maybe a pastel, to black by way of coloring it with a Sharpie) Painting. Disney World. Pictures. Keeping track of half birthdays. Ripping up clothes/jewelry and making new stuff. Hey I remember you, before you got all famous...We're trashin' you, and what you do!
I'd like to meet:
John Anthony Genzale, he left too soon- "Although it was a sad ending, it was appropriate — no other rock & roller ever lived as hard as Johnny Thunders." "I hate the word punk. I was never a punk."Traci Lords, Wolfman Jack, Prince. Anyone who's ever met anyone from Delaware...? Professional barterers -I can't be throwin my dollars around all the time. Troublemakers, local broken angels, people with hair so I can play, people who are funny, people who both appreciate and emit positive energy, wanton rocknrollers...and pirates.
Attention hippies: Not showering for weeks at a time and playing newspaper boxes as if they are bongos are not acceptable forms of self-expression...and put some shoes on.
