musical stuff plumbing
Basically, I’m a musical vocalist, but I do voiceover stuff as a sideline, like plumbing or something.
couple coke noise
How am I going to listen to that horrible noise I make without a gram of coke and a couple of double Jack Daniels?
dark two fifty
You know, I'm fifty-two now and I call myself a singer. Before I kick it I want to be able to carry a tune in a living room if called upon. Of course, mine come out all dark and twisted and weird.
changed colourful
As society has changed, what had formerly been unacceptable has become colourful.
mom running dad
I was who I was in high school in accordance with the rules of conduct for a normal person, like obeying your mom and dad. Then I got out of high school and moved out of the house, and I just started, for lack of a better term, running free.
nice years issues
I'm a little bit damaged in about 15 different ways, and it's been nice that no particular damaged area has become a major issue. I'm a more than moderately healthy 65-year-old male who has gotten away with a lot of stuff.
memories survival favors
I have a hot memory, but I know I've forgotten many things, too, just squashed things in favor of survival.
pops ifs
If I don't terrorize, I'm not Pop.
done torn bother
I like semi-torn-down places where I could get nestled in and get something done without anyone bothering me.
stuff wells edges
Well, the stuff that has become more commercial doesn't have any edge.
beautiful nuts diamond
The nut of the thing is that if what you make is hard like a diamond, you can put it anywhere. You can put it up your and it will still be beautiful.
skins gimmicks culture
Your skin starts itching once you buy that gimmick about something called love.
spiritual opposites quality
Miami is nothing like me, and thats why I need to be here - its the opposite. Im practical, where this place is moody, Im stolid in my interior, where this place has a certain flair, and Im materialistic in a sense that this place is fundamentally spiritual - theres a quicksilver quality about this place.
good-day blow past
Second only to the sea, the Miami sky has been the greatest comfort in my life past 50. On a good day, when the wind blows from the south, the light here is diffuse and forgiving.
