Where the self-obsessed get serious about silly
I'm too wacky to be hip.

      • ------------------------------------- How this blog got its name

      ------------------------------------ There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.

      ----------------------------------- Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

            My old bandmate/best friend is vacationing at my house the next few days. Time to dust off the old Danelectro and the vocal cords. I’ve already apologized to the wife and soundproofed the garage. Maybe I should apologize to the neighbors as well? In other news, I lost my job last week. So I’m unemployed for the first time in over 9 years. Its like I’m in my 20’s again! But this time instead of blowing all my savings on a $500 station wagon, a sheet of blotter, and driving down to Mexico… the plan is to hang out, record some noise, and story board my silly little stories. I’ll post the results on youtube in a week or two. I mean unless Raoul calls. Now that I think of it there is an old El Camino for sale down the street.
