oh i'm just taking the piss
patti smith at times is just so hilarious. i mean "jackson pollack is
a nigger" that just makes me giggle everytime I hear it. u listen to
enough zappa and you just can't take much seriously I'm afraid.
can one beat listening to joe's garage very high on coke (weenie
weenie weenie).
or bongo fury's man with the woman head--isn't the best poetry a
mocking poetics but retaining the essence of the original beauty
i've lead a wayward life i'm afraid
