thank you John Prine

when my mother told me last night that John Prine had died, it was like getting punched in my dick. no matter how much i prepared my mind to the thought that this fucking virus would kill him, i never wanted to see it happen. i put on my 10 favorite John Prine songs last night and have basically had them on repeat since. and to get it down to just 10 was nearly fucking impossible. the one thing that listening to John Prine taught me was how to be a better storyteller. how to weave comedy and social commentary in the same stream of thought. thank you for everything. i hope you get to enjoy Paradise, you certainly have earned it.

so, basically i've been depressed most of today. yet, i had poems to send out. i made myself laugh when i told my mother trying to be creative when depressed is like fucking a corpse. enjoy the visual.

i sent out 22 poems today; 3 each to The Beatnik Cowboy and Red Eft Review; 5 each to Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication) and Horror Sleaze Trash; 6 poems to Record Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

here is your video for this day of National Poetry Month:

WWE Backstage was pretty good last night.

Dark Side of the Ring and After Dark were both really good last night. i was shocked that Vince Russo actually apologized to Bart Gunn about the whole Brawl For All bullshit back in the day.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Masked Singer, AEW and NXT.

once i get this blog done, i think i'm going to take a nice long shower and see if some cold water gets me out of this funk.

a big thank you to everyone that has listened to my latest SoundCloud tracks. i really do appreciate it.

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...
