This day would be my nephews birthday.
Alan Arken passed and someway it is fitting. From conversation with many musicians over time talking about character actors and now the place where John Mulaney asked David Byrne to write a song for his special.
I reflect on old days I tried to impress my mentors in night to have a want for song not unlike Taqsablu. A comedians life is one that took me years to understand a place of darkness.
the songs that shaped my being as a boy came back up thru the visionary of Batman realized by Forks.
A place I had been called a black dog once for color of my skin. Yet an economy made by a world thru fantasy. I met a man outside that place I was told I cannot be and he gave me a block of alder. I model of young Doctor I made a series of small wolves I carved on the beach.
A place for me to earn respect like fire lanterns. Forever is a long for want.
Kinane might be able to dig this deep with Shane
A food for thought how circle the wagons go around us and places you go, We know how you got here. Not fault of your landing but Charlie Hill is a leg of my being that will always give me ground.
There are those of us who retain spirituality and contain a place you can not touch. A distance not travelled but stationary and protector of the trees. You were granted a window into world when Dead man was made here and being where I am this place you would not want to know.
Kinane I lived not far from you and I’d met Cornell as a boy so keep your way forward. I’m deeply proud of the voice you have with honesty. A drive of hearing bad dates mine a long for one of the last shows Carlin gave in Tacoma and his mic was cutting out and it was painful to watch my hero.
this is why this song of Pearl Jam comes back to me
Half way I die inside.
Our ways called all but snakes and clowns.
At the end of the day we lift one another up. Kinane you’ve helped a lot of people and myself included from a heart of memory of of Charlie Hill and Richard Pryor.You keep a smile on a face.
from this place I’m allowed to be a bigger story
the arrival
the time you came here was the year the blood moon showed for five times. The place you needed to be.
