One More Cup of Coffee cover

This is a Bob Dylan original. Johnny and I covered it in my Highland Park livingroom ala Caja Rojas. Legend suggests Wyatt Earp lived in this very house! Yeehaaw! The photo is Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson in the prime of their on and off again 20 year relationship. True Loves! Harvey Milk once stated "You will have many loves in your lifetime. But sometimes it is only till you grow older, when you know who were just great friends, and your true lovers.

Duckie

This song is inspired by the 80's cult classic- Pretty in Pink. In my opinion Andie lost her god damned mind for choosing Blaine and not Duckie. What the hell? So I pretended that I stole him from her, and then I tell her she's lame.. I wrote it during a harsh bout of post traveler blues/ cabin fever. So its got that icy bite to it! hehe

Sally and The Emcee

This one is about my best friend from High School who is now referred to as Mss Vee the Emcee extraordinaire ala Supper Club San Francisco. A beautiful, mezmorizing performer with a gentle, silly, sweet soul! Its about growing up together as performers, and what it means to be an 'escape artist.' Our bond grew rapidly through the mutual desire to want to hide behind a performance. Something or someone told us it was not okay to be ourselves- so we instinctively channeled our senses through a 24 hour show. My older sister reffered to us as Frick and Frack. I've moved 3 times since Mss Vee and I lived in the same town.. Pictures of Mss Vee and I adorn my refrigerator, and bedroom wall still. We grew together.. and I continue to be inspired.

Life Associates

This song is written for all Life Associates. Again Jack and Anjelica.. It is song written for timeless bonds. Once lover, now great friend Adam.. he and I came up with the term 'Life Associates." Basically saying I'll crack a shovel over anyone's head if they hurt you, and you for me... hehe!! LAF!

22 A Month

About the justice of a friend... a story of epic proportions. As Warren Zevon sang 'Bring Lawyers Guns and Money.. The shit has hit the fan."

Patti

About my number one idol, muse, and inspiration.. Patti Smith. Thank you for your brilliance! She has dedicated her life to legacy by creation, peace by understanding, and a bad ass repertoire of punk, ballads, folk, ect.. I highly recommend reading her book 'Just Kids'... it will inspire you to fill in all that blank space in your gut and in your heart.
