Portrait Of The Artist As A No Longer Young Man: Yoūse Either Die Or Live Long Enough...
To experience a six-year-old silver-screen simpatico, turned edgy Playboy teen dream, evolve into syndicated toast of the town as cheery maternal day-time talk-show host.
To witness one of your favoritest eff-tha-police rebellious Rap Gods during adolescence, go on to star on a PD procedural, now officially the longest-running scripted show in TV history.
To peep eighties-style freaks and geeks, via late-stage capitalism infinitely multiplied by technology, go from lovable losers looked upon laughingly into Pale Horseman of the Apocalypse in our twenty-first century.
To rubberneck in horror as a Reagan Error silver-spoon, A.C. casino-crashing charlatan, self-back-patting pseudo-host of our first live Tyson fight, fester into reality-show-predator and den twice-impeached predicate-felon president, lingering, like a shaken-spray-paint-tan branded as a Grade (U.S.) A strand of seemingly incurable STD, a soulless sinkhole of semi-sentient side-mouth spittle drooling on us endlessly, some sorry excuse for a spoiled child never mind sad excuse for a man let alone leader of The People, yet who thru willfull stubbornness, stupidity along with indefatigable appetite of bullshit, shirks against any degree of common sense or shred of human decency, self-obsessively attempting to pound out one last splat of an already badly-cracked, gougingly-priced, fragile egg carcass We call(ed) democracy.
Sometimes life creeps up on us slowly,
Yet it still flies by far too quick-a-lee.
Time Is A Thief…
Sometimes I feel five.
But today I turn fifty.
And the next?
You’re history.
Doo..Dah…Dippity.
Much love to all those I’ve loved along the journey, too many gone already, but thankfully way more who will continue on after me.
#FDT and I.C.E.…eternally.
BOO any fool who disagrees.
LOVE -and-P-E-A-C-E-FULLY,
