I would...


Sort of a typical scattered clouds late spring kinda day.
Sort of an optimistic vibe sorta like...
"You do not fear death?"
"I do not cling to life." 
- I forget what movie that was from???


The Man in Black towards the end of his life doing a very nice cover of a Neil Diamond hit.


Couple days ago Mr. Pickles was not feeling the thunderstorm we had,
wining, panting, nervous
Sorta like me during a storm. 


No Class by none other than Lenmmy and Wendy probably before the members of Amyl & the Sniffers were born...and this is a very tame Wendy. That is not to say that A&tS don't have it going on, but you gotta give credit where it's due.


sPot!!!
Definitely the most charismatic of the cats I have/have ever had.
But don't pick her up!
Here she is on the Thirsty Surfer hoodie my Son sent me :--)


19 fucking 78 man! Totally a lifetime away for me. The Plasmatics defined the late 70s morfing into the early 80s, I was reborn in 79, or was it born again...hahah!


THE Grizz!
Sporting the Fish Hut Grill handkerchief that my Son sent him :-)
He makes a good model even in his old age.


My last band a few months before moving to San Diego.
Loads of fun playing music,
but pull me out of the pond that was Humboldt County California,
and I was just a dead fish when it came to playing music.

Crazy Hours


 Indeed!


When I was young I this was probably my favorite Cars song, but I hadn't seen/heard The Midnight Special recording until very recently and hot damn...it rocks! I can't believe this aired 46 years ago...time is a creature.


Just before the Rona in Burbank with my Mom's best friend...love this Lady so much!


With a title like that you know it's going to be an epic tune and it certainly didn't disappoint me. Heavier than fucking shit and you gotta dig the Melvins with two drummers.


I'm always posting pics of Mr. Pickles but never Grizzly.
This was him in his prime.
The FedEx guy wouldn't even come up the driveway,
he'd drop it off down at the mail box down by the road.
Like me, he's an old gray man now...HA!


Totally me in high school.
I may have recently posted this tune,
but not with the lyrics...hahah

Our life our world mapped out in scars
Carved in wrists and back of arms
Which paint in blood on sheets of white
Of children never quite at home
Our life our world flows down rivers in the street
Made up of blood, made up of meat
Cigarette burns in tortured arms
Cigarette burns on tortured arm
Slowly roasting in the heat of...
Our life our world
Our life our world
My life my world
Our life our world
Our life our world
Lost scream hits the cold night air
Lost scream lost 'cause no one was there
This is the crying of half dead
This is the crying of stillborn
This is the sound of the golden age
This is the sound of my rage
Our life our world
Our life our world
My life my world
Our life our world
This is my horror, my nightmare
This is my waking, my birth
This is my world and my earth
This is my earth and my world
This is my life and my worth
This is my moment of birth
This is my crawling from chaos
Now I have risen from ash
This is the glimmer of hope
This is the wall I must smash
Our life our world
My life my world
Our life our world
Our life our world
My life my world
Our life our world
My life my world
Our life our world
I'm alive, frozen, futile
You're not alive but, you're warm
You haven't suffered no nightmares
And you cannot spell harm
This is my love now
And this is my war
Do not suffer my children
Let them walk through that door
This is my nightmare
Built from your hell on earth
Do not damage my children
They are their love on earth
Leave my world for my children
They didn't ask to be born
Leave my love for my children
And let them be warm
