About Me

According to RFTT -- listen & learn
My new 'country bike,' a '69 R60/2! Aint she purdy?! Sigh. . . .
She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back.
She's got everything she needs,She's an artist, she don't look back.
She can take the dark out of the night time. And paint the daytime black.
You will start out standing Proud to steal her anything she sees.
You will start out standing Proud to steal her anything she sees.
But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole Down upon your knees.
She never stumbles, She's got no place to fall.
She never stumbles, She's got no place to fall.
She's nobody's child,The Law can't touch her at all.
She wears an Egyptian ring That sparkles before she speaks.
She wears an Egyptian ringThat sparkles before she speaks.
She's a hypnotist collector, You are a walking antique.
Bow down to her on Sunday, Salute her when her birthday comes.
Bow down to her on Sunday, Salute her when her birthday comes.
For Halloween give her a trumpet And for Christmas, buy her a drum.

I'd like to meet:

beauty, brains and greAse in yer veins

hottest man alive . . .

Music:

hellacopters, didjits, turbonegro, turbo a.c.s, dwarves, melvins, bad wizard, jonathan richman, rye coalition, chrome cranks, cul de sac, six finger satellite, cows, buttholes, gluecifer, motorhead (duh) black flag, x, the big boys AND black flag, the shemps, cramps, daughters, xbxrx, little killers, grong grong, cheater slicks, the dictators, rocket from the tombs, immortal lee county killers, dayglow abortions, buzzcocks, carl perkins, eddie cochran, ray campi, janis martin, chet baker, patsy cline, cash, clash, crass, the pagans, taxi (from italy!), the saints, early gg allin, backyard babies, blitz, ramones, the spits, the spitzz. . . teengenerate anything dirty garage type style roky erickson, sir lord baltimore, king crimson (early) um....

one thing i did on my trip to Austin: broke out the paints:

ZATA and me rockin' the brain bucketz . . .

Movies:

dog day afternoon, the thomas crown affair, chinatown, serpico, cool hand luke, nights of cabiria, spirited away, sexy beast, killing zoe, i heart huckabees, EASY LISTENING (i'm in it, though i've not seen it yet. i'm on IMDB, check it! i feel so cool!) of course all we bike enthusiasts LOVE Steve McQueen movies...

Television:

way too much lately, but more listening to than watching -- keeps me company while i work. will make time to watch the simpsons.... um and if i had cable, all those bike building shows, monster garage, etc.

Books:

it seems kinda pretentious to write a list of all the books one has read, but i like 'em. sadly, not nearly enough time to actually read 'em. currently reading Dylan's 'Chronicles' pretty cool, though not quite as satisfying as i'd hoped. 'Infinite Jest' has to be one of my all time faves. yes, but so i read the WHOLE thing, even all the footnotes -- i'm kinda OCD that way. also reading 2 books on how to be a sucessfully self employed person and a book on buying real estate. yawn.

Heroes:

Don McBride (jazz drummer and antiquities dealer extraordonaire) Bobby Garnett (vintage clothier to the stars) the late E.G.Bookbinder (attorney and stellar dude) Grasshopper (He was true 'til the end) Melissa Jasper (restauranteur) RFTT (best punk songwriters ever??) Lincoln Christopher Capla
we all miss you
