so i woke up this morning to the news of Shane MacGowan's death. i knew he wasn't in great health, but that caught me off guard. those Pogues songs always bring me back to my youth and just discovering music. i believe the first song i heard from The Pogues was A Pair Of Brown Eyes. they were playing it outside of an old record store in downtown Dayton. i went in and asked what that was and they said The Pogues. i think i was like 15 at the time. i think it was the young poet in me that was really attracted to The Pogues. Shane's death has brought back all those memories. i am happy that he is no longer suffering. i am happy that i have these songs to listen to. but damn, the world has lost one of the good ones.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at SMU, 65-63. that was their first non-conference road win in 7 years.
the New York Rangers won last night at home against Detroit, 3-2.
The Masked Singer was crazy last night.
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NJPW.
i will probably watch some of the NFL game tonight between Seattle and Dallas.
once mom writes my check, i will be going to the bank.
that is all for me kids...
until tomorrow...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
stay off the fucking streets.
get the fucking shot.
Nosotros perdimos uno bueno hoy
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...
