I Forgive you that paralyzed fact that you are from
Up-State New York
Street cred for vid: 709Austin
Fun fact I just noticed. (And I generally notice a lot…. Bullshit!
I generally Miss mos ever’thang. missed this one first time around…
Fun fact; One of the dudes in the band is Nat Maines daddy…. Lloyd)
(Helpful Hint: He’s the dude on the steel gee tar.)
Mister Lloyd Maines:

If you do not laugh at this, you are not human.
From a recently sent email string to a woman I am trying to woo…. and failing ‘Les Miserables’ at it.

A little bird landed on my vehicle. I approached/reproached said little bird. Then Asked,
“What do you want, Little Bird?”
Little Bird said,”I have a msg for you.”
“Do tell, and do not shit on my car.”
He/she said (difficult to establish gender in these situations) He/She/It said,
“Marla is bored with you. Move on”
“Thanks” I said, as I went back into mi casa…. looking for my shotgun…
***
I came back.
Little bird was gone.
I shot out my head-lights anyway.
No point in wasting my rage.
Or my big-ass twelve gauge.
***
Hour later, a policeman showed up
I invited him to go get fucked.
Probably not the wisest words ever to ever escape my lips.

Author’s note adddd-end-um:
This was supposed to be a ‘light’ post.
I fucked it up.
I dropped in a very sad song.
By Jerry Jeff
A ‘Lost Gonzo Band’ song I have been listening to all my nat’ral life.
But I never really listened to the words.
Until now.
Wish I hadn’t.
Is it years or is rain?
JJ Walk- Her
Was first released on his 1968 Mr Bojangles album. Most people remember it from the 1973 Viva Terlingua album. I used to attend his birthday parties at the Driscoll hotel and out at Luckenbach.
Macbeth (and Lance) says, “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
Dearest Marla,
Yes
It is a sad song.
This is precisely why I love it so.
That is a really sad song.
