I have been immersed in books again lately. Some needed
reading. Some I’m just revisiting the classics. Just another reminder of the
greatness that was gifted to us before we were here and will be passed on long
after we have passed away…. Classics, Important. My audio book of the week is
the 1931 “Brave New World” by Aldous
Huxely.This classic is read by the magical Michael York…. I recommend it
highly.

Education, through music and books always leave’s me
breathless…
Any heady stuff to get into while I’m in the middle of
planning a new (and hopefully some unnerving future ventures) leaves me, again
breathless
....
The longer I stick around the more comfortable it feels
looking into the poisonous pit where things lurk, squirm and bubble… or as
Diane Arbus once said, because it “Scares me” There is that fine balance in
music, photography etc where your never really sure if your scared or scared to
look away…So it begins, the countdown with a smile, to “home sweet home”….
Trust me when I say “I love what I do”
out here, there and everywhere onstage, but I am really excited about the
moment I can open the doors to Funny Farm Studios, so I can get out of my head
what’s been brewing for months. The need for the madness to unfold is
exhausting. You know Warhol, Hussar and Witkin’s work all had to come from
their personal world, not unlike mine. They needed space to get us into
creative outer space…distance between the noncreative and business world .We
need to engage in all possible failures…chance is the most important thing for
artists and lover’s. Or in simple terms,” Roll the dice”
....
So as I settle into my dressing room,10 more shows to go and
thinking of all the Crueheads who came out to CRUE FEST 2 and how they
supported all the bands…head to toe,
top to button, all great bands, so much fun, so much laughter. It’s been a
wonderful summer…in fact a kick ass summer but now the countdown begins…10.
....
Soon I will be Home Sweet Home with Katherine and my family,
all of us laying in the warm embrace of Los Angeles. Thank you for everything,
I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride…
