I watched Junkyard Wars last night. The finals are next week! That seems a little soon. And enough with the boats and the water stuff. I want to see rubber on the road! I wrote about seeing Mike Watt in Hoboken last month. I'm hooked on his website, www.hootpage.com. He writes tour diaries from the road and they're just great! They (Watt and the Band) write about what it's like on the road, the people they meet, the places they play and even the food they eat. It's weird for me to write about someone else's diary from my own diary but it's really interesting to me. They started their last tour on September 11th. Their first gig out was canceled because of the attack. They just kept going, for two months, out on the road -- entertaining America. You know, I know I talk about my bus rides a lot. To the point where my friend Walter makes fun of me but I like telling my bus stories. If nothing else, it's a release for me to get it out of my system.
Like last night, this woman sits down, pulled out her cell and carried on a loud, boring, conversation -- for the entire bus ride! You'd think she was home with her feet propped up! I was very close and I'm not kidding, to telling her to shut the f**k up! I'm glad I didn't stoop to that level but I so wanted to! OK, that's it! God Bless America!
