Penny was there when Larry's dick was in a pinch, when he was a mess
after Shasta moved on. It's Larry whats callin and callin and callin
Penny. At Home. At Work. Why hang with her and smoke dope with her and
have sex with her if she's such a bad Penny? Does Larry likes Bad?
Does the text permit this kind of cheer leading for Larry and Booing
for Penny? Information is money. They both selling and they both
buying. They don't need to fuck, smkoe dope together, they could just
exchange information or money or both. But having sex and smoking
dope, makes them vulnerable. Isn't this too a way of promoting trust.
Like, we smoked together. We made love. Isn't that why giving it
away--give it away, give it away, give it away, give it away now, as
the Chili Pepper's Californiacations sez, is keeping cool. Maybe even
caring too? Can't buy me love becomes I can't give it away on 7th
Avenue and Coke on a Shatter Platter. NO more West, young man. It
ain't cool or caring. A New Howl generation, children of Hope,  is
sloughing toward NYC and Seattle to be born.
