A Brush With Fame

-

In 1982, my wife and I went to a massive Halloween party at a warehouse in Deep Ellum. She was wearing just the cutest outfit, a tuxedo that I had bought her with cat makeup, and skin tight black hose showing off her incredible ass.  Whenever I went out with her in those days I had to keep an eye on the other men in any venue, everyone wanted to fuck this hot little thing and this was not allowed.  I had painted her face white with faux whiskers drawn on with marks o lot.  She was a real piece.  My costume was a camouflage blouse  with a Luftshutz  helmet, Marine dress blue trousers with red stripe, police belt, Iron Cross 2cnd class, riding boots, and binoculars with leather gloves.  We were all jacked on speed and pot and this was the best party I have ever been to, before or since.  We watched this band perform and the guy on the right in the above pic was the lead singer.  I remember that he was "singing" about his girlfriends breath smelling like "seven pounds of penises" and what an awesome show they put on.  There was a contest for the best Nazi costume and about 40 of us participated.  I forget who won but he definitely was not as good as me.  Later, while coming on to the fresh blotter acid I took, I found myself talking to the afore mentioned singer. His name was Bobby Soxx and I have never forgotten this encounter.  This was the height of my young rock and roll life and I wish that I had done more of it.  But my neurotic personality and lack of money doomed this from the start.  Later, while working at Gravely Doors making stained glass windows, a guy I worked with, Jimmy Joe Jackson, told me that while he was going to Nark-Anon him and Mr. Peppermint's son would sit out in the parking lot and do (dope).  I had no idea who he was talking about at the time, but Dallas was balls to the wall and nothing surprised me.  This was the happiest time of my life.



R.I.P. Bobby Soxx, A.D. 2000.  You really made that party for me.





I used to run home to see this guy.  But-  He was no Iggy Twerp!




Slam Bang Theater, Motherfuckers!

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette
