Sucking Off my Past
Swore I'd never do this
Of course now I am
Found this pic while looking for something else
I remember it well
No camera phones back then
Good to see I was wearing all black
Prehistoric cool
Fast forward to now
Wait
Why bother
Ain't nothing now gonna match this pretty boy punk
Spread out some blow on a album cover
Grab a straight edge razor
Find a Bowie song on Spotify
Rock me all night long ...

You honor me with LOU REED'S most famous song.
I've written several poems about Lou here.
Dude was breaking every rule of gender before anyone knew what gender meant. Classic bad boy. Those were the days
BIG THANKS BRENDA
Comment and RL
I always said Lou Reed was the first punk ....

Look at you, Mr smoldering creepy devilish guy in black! You look like danger. I guess that's probably the point...?

Back then and still now, wear the colors of oppression, depression and obsession and with any luck be or have a possession.
Punk lives. In the mind, in the body. A safety pin through a nipple.

Dude! You're riding a Paul Simon / Velvet Underground vibe. Must have been really exciting to be a native New Yorker (song by Odyssey?) in those times. One of those pesky time machines would be quite handy. Rob

It was a super wild time.
I can honestly say I moved to NYC exactly at the right moment in time to catch an explosion of grit and happening vibes I will hold with me forever !!
Amazing adventures in humankind and music !!

I'm seeing the much better looking cousin of Ron Palillo, who everyone's grandma, fawns over, but when the obligatory family-fest is over, will light up a smoke, head over to CBGB, and feel up some girl in a dark corner.

There was a lot of bravado in those days.
I’ve tried to write some of it, you really had to be here to understand it. I still live here and every so often I kiss the ground remembering the then and still experiencing The Now. A lot of misbehaving and plenty of I don’t give a fuck …

Actually I see a resemblance to Paul Simon and a bit of Bob Dylan. You fit right in to that crowd. Of course you look like that you broke a few windows in your day, too. Lol.

Both amazing amazing writers and favorites !
Think more Dylan.
People used to say I looked like Art Garfunkel and I was a dead ringer for John McEnroe. Used to get asked for autographs.
Most of all I looked like me. A scrawny rogue who took on the school bully in high school and sucker punched the fat bastard into submission. Never bothered me again. Also got into a fight with Danny L in the chemistry lab. Threw him up against a window. Luckily it cracked but no blood. Our relationship soured after that. He went to become a lawyer in Washington and I went into Broadcasting and later lumber. The past is a quagmire of crazy memories but it's what we have ....
Thx Styx

I love the vulnerability and honesty that comes in giving more of yourself to the world. The 80's rocked, that look was cool, it comes in that vibe of youth, rock n roll, New York and lots of memories. It's the artist in the making.
BIG LIKE brother.
