The Tune Room


Coming into Roosevelt.
The spot for drinks. 
Sweet Lucy's BBQ.
God bless the strip.
Stay on 4th, under the loop. 
A whirlwind drive.

Cold.

Through the shacktowns of Lubbock.
Near Memphis Avenue.
Cops patrolling for public disturbances.
The slow poke joke.

Busting.

Alright doobie dogs, it's all good from here.
The tow trucks are trolling.
West lot overlooks the highway.
Dashed in past the lit up greenhouse.
Welcomed into the Metallica family.
Typical beer lines and crowds.
Got the comic on the mic.
A debut song tonight.
Working it out in the tune room.
Strawberry jams.
The overwhelming drums.
High fidelity lead licks echoing.
Perfectly timed basslines and transitions.
Then the growl.

Salute the rockers.

They have made a mess of this place.
I know it's only rock and roll.
But I like it.
There is no remedy for metal.
It must destroy.

"1st Victim" by The Mayor Dumb ass.  Loses the element of surprise and becomes the 1st victim.  Add to it, he is carrying an oversi...

Maniacs And Friends

last night i dreamed i forgave everybody for anything ever done anytime before. there were fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers, not to mention extended family. then the people all around -- toilers, drivers, watchers, lovers, maniacs, and friends. things they did, said, implied, yelled, things they ignored, they insisted, they resisted. i was talking with each of them individually, taking my time, and we were committed. nods and shakes, aknowledgments accepted and replaced with a debt of some sort. a responsibility to forgive others in the same manner, slate picked clean and put up. minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and generations will pass either way.
