In lovely San Francisco, staying at a youth hostel until I run out of money and things start to get desperate. I helped some kids build a spaceship out of plywood on the sidewalk yesterday. I really do love this town.

Off to California in a week. I'll try to keep this thing updated as often as I can with new songs, lyrics and gossip on your favorite boy-band members.
Peace,

A rock star should gather no moss.
(I copied this from somewhere because I'm lazy)
I'm so idle I'm like Billy Idle. I'll get it back. Fall's coming up soon, so maybe its time to polish some of these fragments into songs. Moving to San Francisco soon...And I'm gonna miss those eerie late night walks through town...hearing the wind in the trees and the crackling of dry leaves. Fall out here is like something from a Ray Bradbury story, the way it posseses you and sets all your senses tingling. Fall in California, I imagine that's going to be something else entirely...

Well, two weeks have gone by, and I stiil have this cough. It's not I'm that I'm coughing alot, it's the sound of the cough that worries me- this hoarse, barrely thing that jumps out of my throat.
I need a haircut pretty bad. Or some stick-on cardboard hair from the drugstore.
I have a couple of instrumental guitar things that I'm playing with. One is kind of Gypsy flavored, with pleases me to no end, considering that one of my heroes is the three-fingered Gypsy guitarist Django Rheinhardt. One of his albums can keep me grinning for days. It's back-porch chickadee whistling music with a crazy swing tempo.
Hey, if anyone can find me a copy of Del Shannon doing the song She (originally by the Monkees) I would really appreciate it.
peace.

I just want to say that THE COMMITMENTS is the greatest movie ever and I've loved it madly and deeply since I was 16. everyone who truly loves music should see it and also you should buy me the special edition double disc DVD set while you're at it.
also, (and this is some good advice) listen to Leon Redbone, especially his old records from the 70's. I saw him in Reading recently with his band, just a pianist and a trumpet player, and he actually stopped in the middle of his set to whistle along to a scratchy old phonograph player sitting next to him. and not just any ordinary run-of-the mill whistling- I mean operatic 1920's championship whistling...like the nightingale in the prince's window. beautiful beautiful beautiful
there was a history teacher back in grade school who used to whistle like that. it always amazed me. he was like seven feet tall and he would stroll down the empty halls with these big old strides, whistling with such virtuosity you could swear that John Phillip Sousa was living in his throat... i envied the guy, still do, because when I try to whistle it sounds like a sinking tugboat.
remember this, from Winnie The Pooh?
Coddleston, Coddleston, Coddleston pie
a fish can't whistle and neither can I
ask me a riddle and I'll reply
Coddleston, Coddleston, Coddleston pie
