That was my refrain, this past weekend. I was up in Phoenicia, NY, a stone's throw from Woodstock, where I took part in an event called Kidstock. It was hosted by and featured Uncle Rock & the Playthings, as well as Paul Green's School of Rock. My part of the event was essentially a hike for kids (and their parents) through the woods, where they encountered rock n roll icons from the Woodstock era. And I was enlisted as Bob Dylan... So much fun talking and playing for the kids, and I sported my Ray-Bans all weekend long. The afternoon even ended with a true-to-Woodstock rainstorm, and ironically, Michael Lang, original producer of Woodstock was out in the woods with me at the time, we were huddling under some trees.. The event raised money for Friends Of Snuffy, a non-profit that buys food for pets of owners who are struggling to make ends meet in this economy, thus preventing them from having to put their pets in animal shelters..

When I was a little kid, I had a Michael Jackson poster on my wall. I think it was from the "Thriller" record. I remember that poster vividly, because everywhere i went in my room, it looked as though MJ was looking right at me. I thought his eyes were following me, ha! Funny that he later sang a chorus that said, "I always feel like somebody's watching me". And I thought that little piece of hair coming down in the middle of his forehead looked really cool.  I loved the songs and his voice. "Beat It" was my favorite. Oh geez. Memories are coming back. There's more... The real deal glitter gloves were too expensive for us, so my grandmother sewed a bunch of fake pearls to a white knit glove so that I could have my own glitter glove. Thinking back, that was pretty sweet of her to do that. I don't think it looked anything like a real glitter glove, but I didn't notice. I wanted the red zipper jacket too, but again, too expensive, and probably not in my size either. Grandma never attempted that one. I tried to do the moonwalk, tried to dance. I'm not exactly sure where it came from, but I was REALLY into MJ.

Yesterday, I sent him a package with a tshirt and a hoodie, and a CD. So, if you see him on the show rocking some AOM gear, you will know where it came from. I wrote him a note to explain that neither of us is the originator of Army Of Me. That honor will always belong to Bjork. (But at least we were next in line.)

Thanks for the publicity man!
