A Funny/Sad Thing Happened On The Way To The Circus
As Warren Zevon said, "Life'll Kill Ya".
The train has come off the tracks and,since nobody reads this thing except my soon to be x-partner's lawyer anyway,it's only sporting to report the bad news.
The bottom line: I've made and now have sadly lost some one time good friends and I'll miss them for years to come.
It truly was a great experience making this record, coming to Raleigh, seeing another world and learning another way to live and I will never regret having met these folks or having gone through the experience.
"Trailer Park Angel" was to have been released today nationally...not gonna happen. Doublenaught Records has had a change of heart and the record and I are currently homeless again.
But life is funny and you never know what will be coming 'round the mountain when she comes. I'm happy to send it to anyone who'd like to listen to it-just send a message with a mailing address--it truly is a special record and somehow,some way,folks will one day hear it(you can hear free excerpts and get free downloads at www.trailerparkangel.com)
Stay tuned you little pimply faced, lost web-surfer you...and be very careful what you wish for.

Happy Birthday,Mom!
Today would have been my mother's 87th birthday. In celebration of that fact, I am taking myslef to Raleigh today and will be hopefully attending the opening day of The Durham Bulls with my recently discovered Raleigh brothers.
My mom loved baseball...and The Rolling Stones so I'm also gonna go see Shine A Light for the 3rd time once I hit RDU. Damn that is a great movie for any rock and roll fan to go see! If at all possible, try to hold out to see it in IMAX format-it is jaw dropping, grin producingly good!
Whatever good that happened in my life I owe to my Mom. She was really something else and I devoted much of my life trying to save hers. I will forever be grateful to the friends,family and lovers I had in my life who helped me help her through her very difficult journey and will silently be thinking and thanking each of you for all you helped me to do for her(even if today you hate me like poison)throughout the rest of this weekend.
So happy birthday, Mom and I hope you found a sharp looking guy up there to jitterbug with and that you're laughing all the time.

Doublenaught Records T-Shirt AND!!!!??? A FREE Doublenaught Records Sampler with EVERY PURCHASE!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!Maybe if enough of you do so, Doublenaught will be able to budget some revisions to their website so that links to all their acts' webpages will be added to their site!Oh what joy dreaming can be!
And what a sampler it is! Not only will you get a version of "Lonely Girl" that is not on the album and is destined to become a collector's item, but you will hear some great music from labelmates The T's(www.myspace.com/thetttttt),The Cartridge Family(www.thecartridgefamily.org),The Bleeding Hearts(www.myspace.com/thebleedinghearts)Keith Christopher and ofcourse Terry Anderson and The Olympic Ass-Kickin Team(see link above and to the right).
