Spontaneous Apple Creation: 8/3/09

Another good one, but the air-conditioner was out last week, and someone closed the doors to the station and fried the compressors, so our air signal was a bit weak... MusikFest is in full swing.

Went by the Depot for a drink and late lunch, but they wanted us to pay $10. for parking and were pretty nasty - so I just blew it off and went in to say hi to my son - who works in the kitchen.

I can't get off from work, but Digger will be there at MusikFest Saturday at the station kiosk. Stop by and say hi. WLVR will be represented. (grin)

Digger made the show this week. We had a great talk about politics and government as usual.

No AC in the studio, A J was ready with the duct tape but Digger said he wouldn't use it... and fixed a broken fan so we had a bit of air movement.

MusikFest starts this weekend. I wonder if we'll make it down for a day... Finances may not allow - neither will my work schedule. Yes and Asia this Sunday or CSN next Sunday would be nice...

I can't say any more - but what a relief.

“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
– William Shakespere...

Sorry I couldn't make the station last week, since I was running around the Courthouse in a different county.

Hopefully Digger will be free and back on the airwaves with us next week (fingers crossed).

I really have a lot to say about the privatized prison system in this country - many things I didn't know were happening - but that will have to be another post. It gets me too angry, and this show really brought my spirits up, so we kind of want to stay there for a while. (smiles warily)

Taking some Time

I'm sitting here relaxing a bit - finally able to take a breath.

Had a bit of a hassle when I went to the prison last night - and I only got to see the D-Man for about 5 minutes. Frisking is not all it's made out to be... (visits are supposed to be a half hour long - I suppose if you don't happen to be wearing a hat, bandanna and a tie-dye.)

At least he got to see his daughter. Hope he's alright.

Looks like I'll be getting him out of the slammer soon (I hope... if all goes well).

Got him a lawyer Tuesday, and he's awesome. Calmed me down immensely.

Then I got an extended "line of credit" at the bank - signing the papers next Monday (thank gawd it went through). Then it's off to the Courthouse to pay the lawyer and the first set of fines . With Luck, he'll be transferred, the lawyer will show up and ask for a hearing, and I'll pay the second set of fines (the big ones) at the Courthouse in the next county - and he'll be released in time for the Fourth (please). Brings new meaning for me to the Independence Day thing...

Can't wait to give him a big fat hug and then a good bare-assed licking. I still think that cop had a hard-on for my man. If you'd have seen the smile on his face when he slapped the cuffs on... you'd know what I mean.

Damn this is such a racket it seems.
The charges were dropped years ago on the first warrant, but the fine still has to be paid.

Why?

SPONTANEOUS APPLE: 6/21/09

Still getting nowhere with legal matters - Digger's still in the slammer - but the least I can do is keep on going. I know he'd have loved to be with me today in the studio. He called during the show, and of course I ended up playing some Sabbath for him. (LOL)

He's in the medical unit, so I can almost breathe a sigh of relief.

We had a few other requests today - and thanks for listening. It's always awesome to talk with the listeners.

SHM seems to be the shit. Sounds so awesome.

The U.S. has the largest prison population in the world-over 2.3 million inmates. Since the 1970s, the rate of most serious crimes has dropped, yet prisons have been filled at double capacity. People of color, the poor, the illiterate, the mentally ill, youth, and women are the primary occupants. This growth is due to mandatory drug sentencing laws, conspiracy provisions, a dysfunctional parole system, inadequate legal representation, and huge profits made by the multinational corporations servicing the prisons. The posters in Prison Nation cover issues surrounding the system of mass incarceration including: racial disparity in sentencing, the death penalty, the Three Strikes law, women's right to self defense, access to education and health care, the growing rate of incarceration, slave labor, divestment, privatization, torture, and re-entry into the community. They show the power of art to educate and inspire people to action.

Many of the selections on display at the info shop will be available for sale.

For more information contact the California Prison Moratorium Project at www.calipmp.org or www.myspace.com/capmp

Posters from CSPG's Prison Nation are on display inconjunction with a June workshop series and statewide coalition march on June 15, 2009 sponsored by:

What Would You Do For A Klondike® Bar?

I certainly wish that this black cloud would blow away. It's been hanging around for much too long. Dropped my hard drive and lost 45,000 music files. That really sucks. The radio show will probably be a little lean this week without them.

Saw D-Man in prison yesterday, joked that orange wasn't really his color - and that he shouldn't drop the soap - and then cried later on (not in front of him). He looked good in spite of the circumstances. I wanted to give him a big hug - but that damn glass is pretty thick. We each held our hands up to the glass at the end of the short visit and stared into each others' eyes.

I miss him so damn bad. Every night I keep looking over at the chair he used to sit in while we watched Family Guy together and bawl my eyes out.

Feeling a bit helpless and frustrated. He doesn't know what the other charge against him could be... I had the money to pay his fine, but they told me that if I paid it he would be transferred to another prison. Need to seek more legal advice. Problem is, I don't have any more money. Rent and auto insurance are due at the same time so I'm kinda strapped right now, financially.

I guess I need to hit the lottery. Thank gawd, at least that I have a job... These times are not the best economically speaking. Many friends are unemployed. I just need to regroup and think this thing out.

I have the names of two lawyers - now would be a good time to call one, I suppose.

The New Spontaneous Apple Creation: 6/15/09

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

This was my first show in the new time slot: 12noon - 3pm on Mondays for the summer.

I dedicated the show to my buddy (and roomate), Digger who happens to be sitting in jail at the moment. He was supposed to be with me on the air today, but got arrested last Thursday while walking into a convenience store to buy a pack of smokes. I was pumping gas at the time, and the cops were bastards. I thought I was back in the fucking 60's again...

Still haven't heard from him, after calling the prison numerous times. I'm going down there in person after writing this post.

Love or a Genu-ine Facsimile Thereof

• 12:00 am Friday:

Why is it that we can't help ourselves when we fall in Love?
This old Heart always seems to pick the worst scenario.
...or maybe it's just me...

I'm just a hopeless romantic, I suppose.
Doomed to be forever brokenhearted.
Or maybe not...

• 1:00 pm Thursday:

I was pumping gas while D-Man went into the station to get smokes. Next thing I know, they have him cuffed while pulling up his shirt - and tearing his pants open, searching... "Kannst du mikke funge?" - my mouth was wide open in disbelief...

The K-9 'men' told me to go "Get Lost." they said - after running a check on my license. D-Man kissed me in front of them - while handcuffed - wild fucking look in his eyes and said he would call me. They shoved him in the car and wouldn't let me follow, so I ended up going to work.

I'm still waiting to hear from him - a nervous wreck... My heart's been beating miles a minute all day.

I'm just hoping that kiss wasn't a kiss goodbye...

• UPDATE:

1:07 am Saturday:

Got the word on my compadre earlier today. Seems there was a parole violation (in another county from 2005). He didn't show up for a court date in this county, so they're holding him over - Magistrate dropped the charges - but he still has to pay $1,000 or spend 45 days in the slammer, and then go to jail in the other county.

Does that make any sense at all?

I want him back here with me where he belongs...
...Calling a lawyer on Monday. Something seems a bit out of kilter.

Got the news yesterday that the show will be moving to Monday afternoons from Noon to 3pm starting next week. I'm very psyched about that. Should be lots of fun...

Another Day In The Life...

Finally heard from Fucker again. Man it was good to hear his voice. Haven't seen him since last Thanksgiving.

Then, one of the waitresses said that my tires looked funny. I went to check only to find that someone loosened the lug nuts on both of the front tires - coincidence??? Who'd do something like that?

Subsequently, I learned of two deaths... It's not been a great year so far. I'm kinda freakin'...

Drac and Blackula showed up at the club last night(perfect timing). I confronted Drac and asked him when it would be convenient for me to pick up the rest of my belongings from Castle Dracula, and he brushed me off by saying his father just died - call him next week. Can't help but wonder why they'd be out celebrating by singing karioke... Just blows my mind. I suppose everyone deals with their grief in different ways.

I went home to find Ms P (a long-time friend of D-Man) in my bed. (my bed happens to be the living room futon right now) She'd had a few too many white russians last evening, and she's gone to the races today. Hope she has a blast. She's a cool lady and deserves some happiness...

D-Man's up at his landscaping job. I hope he doesn't overdo it again like last weekend - lifting heavy equipment. He really scared me - all's well now though. (thank gawd) Old injuries sometimes never heal completely ...and sometimes new injuries will never heal. We try do our best to accomodate an aesthetic quality for mollifying the spirit - but sometimes the body resists.

SPONTANEOUS APPLE CREATION: 6/2-3/09

Sorry, no SPAC today

The old Saturn is out of commission...
Looking for a new chariot today - more later.

D-Man decides to take a ride and leave me at the bar...
Man, I was so pissed. Felt like wringing his neck.

SPONTANEOUS APPLE CREATION: 5/12-13/09

Had a bit of trouble getting set up this week. After the minor delay, things seemed to run smoothly.

The little car needs a brake job - and two new tires - it was a bit scary getting in - but we made it. Big old "Bessie the Bronco" needs a new idler belt. I'm broke till payday...

Seems that the new casino just discovered the station, and it was a bit of fun talking to them on the phone. They were requesting Zeppelin. It sounds awesome in SHM (super high material). You can actually hear Jimmy page touching the 12-string if you listen... but do we really need another CD format? This is the way things should have sounded from the beginning... Damn the record companies.

Digger Nines (D-Man) was in the studio with me again this week, and I think we got the sound problems worked out - his voice came out loud and clear. We had a bit of fun. So without further adieu, Here's The List:

There you have it. The first edition of "SPAC" for 2009.
I didn't think I was going to be able to do the show anymore - but I guess where there's a will - there's a way. Thanks everyone. It's good to be back.

Spontaneous Apple Creation returns for the summer

Spontaneous Apple Creation
(SPAC) returns to the airwaves at WLVR this evening and every Tuesday evening from
11pm - 3 am (EST)

We'll be spinning all your old favorites (and some new ones) again for the summer months.

Tune in to 91.3 FM Bethlehem

"Turn On Tune In and Drop Out"

Happy Beltane

Time Waits...

D-Man adjusting his big clock...

LOL!

I'm just watching and waiting...

Maybe, one day...

Wouldn't that be nice?

"HAIR" - 40th Anniversary

For Jess...

Falling Rocks... Not

Getting older sucks...

Lately I guess I'm becoming prone to getting some kind of anxiety attacks. The old mind spins round & round for a few minutes and I sometimes have a bit of difficulty breathing. Never experienced this type of thing before.

It's a minor pain in the ass, and nothing serious - but it sure as hell can be inconvenient at times.

I need to settle up once and for all with the Counts of Monty 'Crisco'. I suppose that would make a big difference in the way I feel about myself.

It can be a rough thing getting your self esteem back - and I've been down this road before - only this time I seem to have gone a bit closer to the cliff side of the road. It can be a scary thing falling that far down...

"Rainy Day Money"...

I'm so glad I found the hundred dollar bill I stashed away in my wallet for a rainy day - or in this case - a rainy night.

Some of you know that I've been going through the process of "regrouping". The last time I was at Castle Dracula (about a month ago). I was removing some personal items from my bedroom, and I came upon a crisp, new $100. bill... hidden under my ashtray. I decided to hang onto it for a while...

Anyway, we had a little incident on the road last Tuesday night. The guardrail jumped out and shut off the fuel pump.(LOL) When we came back to the truck the next day, it was gone. The police had it towed as an abandoned vehicle. Luckily we found it at the local impound and quickly paid the $55 fee. The next thing I knew, the tire went flat on the other vehicle, so D-Man and I drove the truck to a used tire place where they had only one tire left - of the size I needed - price, $45... I snatched it right up. Thank gawd both vehicles are running just fine now - and thank gawd I put that money away for an emergency.

I'm so happy it's payday today because I'm flat broke now.

I Can't Drive 55

Almost snagged a 12-point buck on the trip back here last night... It was raining, and I saw 6 deer on my side of the road - so I slowed down (luckily). The damn thing ran right into my path from the other side of the highway. I slid across the road like I was on a sheet of ice - and continued homeward bound.

D-Man was home when I got there - all cleaned up and looking ready to go a few rounds - with chicken burritos in the oven for me. He's a sweet little fucker. Damn, I just wanted to grab a hold of him and lay a big wet one on him. I just gave him a big fat bear hug instead... Nobody's ever given enough of a shit about me to do that before. He made me feel like a million bucks (no pun intended).

Got up early today to go in and cook breakfast - because the other cook doesn't seem to know how to use the phone - I drove the 40 minutes down from the mountain, and lo and behold, he was just getting out of the car when I arrived - so I came back home.

D-Man's sleeping in the other room - I can hear his sexy measured breathing... I'm taking him back to the Doctor on Monday to get his throat examined thoroughly (we were in the emergency room last Tuesday night). Wish the best for him - he merits a good break for a change. My heart aches for him - all he ever seems to get is shit on, and he deserves so much better. His good health and happiness will be my only wish as I blow out my birthday candles. I probably don't have very many more left...

...but it's so good to have a home again, and I don't have to wish for that anymore.

The Thousandth Man

One man in a thousand, Solomon says,
Will stick more close than a brother.
And it's worth while seeking him half your days
If you find him before the other.
Nine nundred and ninety-nine depend
On what the world sees in you,
But the Thousandth man will stand your friend
With the whole round world agin' you.

'Tis neither promise nor prayer nor show
Will settle the finding for 'ee.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em go
By your looks, or your acts, or your glory.
But if he finds you and you find him.
The rest of the world don't matter;
For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim
With you in any water.

You can use his purse with no more talk
Than he uses yours for his spendings,
And laugh and meet in your daily walk
As though there had been no lendings.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em call
For silver and gold in their dealings;
But the Thousandth Man he's worth 'em all,
Because you can show him your feelings.

His wrong's your wrong, and his right's your right,
In season or out of season.
Stand up and back it in all men's sight --
With that for your only reason!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide
The shame or mocking or laughter,
But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side
To the gallows-foot -- and after!

-Rudyard Kipling

A New Chapter Begins... Two Men & A Cat

Finally freed Mooch (my cat) from the clutches of Count Dracula & Count Chocula today. He's here with D-Man & me at the new place. I don't understand why they kept him, really - since they say they are both allergic to cats. It's just mind boggling to me. Holding a cat for ransom...

I still have the futon (which I'm sleeping on) and which they are trying to lay claim to. They have my bed, so... fair trade, as far as I'm concerned. The nerve of some people...

I must return to Castle Dracula one more time to get my upright bass, congas, paintings, art materials and some other personal items.

I wonder if they'll let me take my things - or if they'll say they belong to them.

Drac gave me a list of things that he wants returned - he says they are his, but he knows differently. He's turned into such a lying bastard lately. It's really sad to see what he's become. He called me "irresponsible" and "negligent" in his last phone message. Strangely, although it's not humorous in the least, I got a big laugh out of that. What a putz. At least I got my pussy...

...as the ides come marching in...

Sorry I haven't been updating lately - so much has been happening...
Moving... working...

There never seems to be enough time.
Latest developments in the ongoing saga:

They want to play games it seems.

I went to the old house today to get my cat and a few personal items, but the locks were changed. I then went directly to the police department - where they told me in no uncertain terms - that I have the right as the homeowner to break into my own house.

I will be doing this tomorrow... and if either one gives me a hard time - I will direct the police officers to kindly escort the "gentleman" who has been living in my house since last July O-U-T.

Ode To The Teacher "The Biggest Violin"

I never realized the scope of your hatred - how much you despised me. I suppose the truth had to come out sometime. Although you tried your damnedest, emotions that intense can never be completely hidden.

But, what I will never understand is whatever the reason could have been. I should have remained just a trick to you. Some kind of "rough trade" for your carnal pleasure. Perhaps then, things could be different now.

But no - I had to become involved... I felt sorry for you - you seemed lost in the secular world at the time. After 15 years in the clergy - you seemed to be without direction in the real world. You said you wanted me - I felt it was my duty to help you. In the end, you resented that I guess.

You stole my life for a decade - and then you call me the thief - the purloined future still looming in the background...


Now you've found "the one" and you toss me away like last week's pizza box - trying to crush the shape of my soul flat. Well, I've got some news for you - you will never keep me down - no matter how much you try to pilfer from my spirit.

Latch on tightly to what you've stolen - the other side of Love will return to haunt you. You have foredoomed yourself.

In my fifty-five years of life, I can safely say that I have never actually hated anyone until now. You've taught me that - be proud of yourself.

Bear - Faced to Bare - Faced

He shaved his Grizzly Adams completely off... and it's a shock to see him baby-faced as compared to Bear-Faced.

Still as gorgeous as ever - I want him close - breathing on my neck.

Taking off back up the mountain before the storm - I wonder if I should have asked him along to spend the night...

Gloaming Time

He reminds me of a beautiful wild animal that's been wounded - yet he lets me touch and soothe him - it tingles... for some reason he reads my intent as true - it is. He knows my compassion is real... His spirit healing deliberately.

He knows I'd never hurt or treat him badly - like the others. I read the contemplation in his eyes... The trust grows slowly, substantially.

Everywhere I go - he wants to be. He always wants me near. I love that he feels the need to be close, the energy surrounding us is like almost fulfilling a prophecy and I want him so badly it aches - but still I hesitate at making the move. I need it to come from him...
