Inspired By ROBBIN'Z RAMBLINGZ
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.

My Latest Death Hag Mission
Yes, I'm a Death Hag. Scott Michaels is one of my heroes. I went on both of his tours...the Dearly Departed Tour and the Helter Skelter Tour, when I was in LA. Loved them both. Since my dream of being Scott Michaels' personal assistant, co-pilot or just tag-a-long will never come to pass, I began going on my own, what I call, death hag missions. I will (maybe) post some of my previous trips later.
Anywho...my recent trip was to Tipton, MO, to the grave of Gene Clark. Who is Gene Clark you ask? He was a singer-songwriter, and one of the founding members of the folk-rock group The Byrds. His accomplishments go beyond The Byrds...way beyond. You can read more
here and here.
Gene Clark died May 24, 1991, at age 46, just 4 months after The Byrds were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
He was buried in Tipton, MO, per his request (according to some web sources).
Since I've been slacking on my guitar playing practice, maybe I can get a little inspiration from Gene Clark...
Interestingly, although Gene Clark originally played guitar with the Byrds, according to one web source I found, he was reduced to playing the Tambourine, as shown in the video above, when David Crosby took over the guitar playing. Maybe I should buy a Tambourine...

Seriously Larry!

RING! RING! (I'm in a motel room, mind you.)
"Hello?"
"Is Larry there?"
"You've got the wrong number."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I called the wrong room"
"Ok"
*Click*
4:06 AM
RING! RING!
"Hello?"
"What are you doing?"
"Sleeping!?"
"This is Larry. I'm over here in room 130-something. Do you wanna come over and have a drink?"
"No, thank you."
*Click*
4:12 AM
RING! RING!
"HELLO!?"
"Hi. Are you alone?"
"No."
"You got a man over there with you?"
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
*Click*
4:18 AM
RING! RING!
"HELLO!?"
"Listen, I'm sorry, I want to apologize."
"Ok."
"I'm just sitting over here having a drink and you sound really purty and I just..."
*Click*
4:20 AM
RING! RING!
"Hi, I'm sorry, but can you tell who is calling me. Somebody from another room keeps calling me."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I can just block your phone."
"Ok, thank you."
"Your welcome."
*Click*
Seriously, Larry, how many dates have you actually gotten by calling a wrong number at a motel???

The Electric City
WTF? I was home a total of 8, yes 8 days during my last service period. My electricity part of my bill was $98.27, PLUS PURCHASED POWER ADJUSTMENT $14.45 ( I guess the electric city has to buy power from somewhere else???) $15.47 for the water I used AND $13.10 to dispose of this water. Like I said before... WTF? $13.25 for trash pickup...for a grand total of $154.54 for EIGHT days at home. It's a good thing I'm not here the whole month.
