Thanks, but I'm all tangled up with a racy little bottle of Piquepoul at the moment, and I want to be polite. |

As I listen, I'm watching a young girl throw herself into cartwheels on the lawn across the street. The young girl on *this* side of the street — walking with her parents — is watching her, spellbound. | |

Saw Scratch a few years ago on the Santa Monica Pier. It is safe to say he occupies his own universe of exalted wierdness -kind of like Wild Man Fisher for todays discriminating music lover. |

![]() Franco, meet Chresti -- were you krazy kids at the same event? |

![]() |
![]() Haha, busted! |

![]() Lee definitely lives in his own world. very close-minded in sexual matters in general (like any real rasta i guess) but i too remember him ranting about white pussy when i saw him at wetlands. his main concern though was the arc and that it was arson and that no he did not do it. it got maddeningly tedious and the band was clearly bored waiting. |

We saw him once in Hollywood with Scientist. It was so loud I'm still suffering the effects. |
![]() |

I remember Bob Dylan rendering songs unrecognizable during a live performance | |
![]() |
![]() true Twinkie. i'd give him another shot for sure. i have over 15 of his albums. (not counting all the productions....Max Romeo; Junior Byles...etc) he's a musical hero. |

Franco Twinkie:
On the same hold the audience captive trip I once saw Arthur Lee at the Whisky go on forever about New York Shitty. Sorry all you folk in NY. |
