Popeye

My big takeaway is the look in Michele's eyes when it was over

There's a new sparkle I've never seen before in her eyes

She said, "I knew you would protect me but...."

You fill in the blanks

 

Righteousness

I guess that's what its all about

 

Drunkeness

I couldn't have done what I did if I weren't slightly tanked

Not stumbling but I remember the moment

 

When he said that thing and I thought

Kevin you have a choice to speak now or forever hold your peace

Would I have done the same thing if I were sober?

Good question

Oh, I spoke up

 

I am always onstage

 

Public speaking is a real issue for a lot of people

I get it

 

I can stand on a stage and sing in a microphone

The audience is more afraid than me

 

Guitar players are lot like Batman

We have a belt with ancillary things like a can of Whupass

I thought

Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Keith Richard

Do you want a street fight with a guitar player

First of all, they are probably smarter than you

And they won't fight fair

 

With a little alchohol they think they are invincible

Perhaps because they always were

 

When you are too afraid to speak your righteous mind

It's a hard society to live in

 

The feeling of my hand on his throat

It was majestic

 

When we got back in the car after the incident the first thing I did was look at Michele and ask "What did you just see?"

She vacilated for a moment and I repeated my question

I knew what I had seen

I just wanted to make sure she saw the same thing

 

She said

It was one motion. You were talking to me and when the door opened you moved to the right and grabbed him by the throat and shoved him away.

 

What really happened was that I grabbed him by throat while stepping out of my vehicle

I walked him backwards by the throat for several feet meanwhile telling him to Get The Fuck Out Of Here

The look in his eyes which only I could see told me he was suddenly afraid and knew he was Check Mated

And perhaps ready to leave after a few more Fuck You's

 

I really knew from the first moment it was a little biblical

The man insulting the disabled man

And only I am standing there in gap

The only one brave enough to defend the weak

And tell the bully to Fuck Off

I have a serious issue with bullies

 

Michele will never get the image out of her mind

For me it is like I still have a GoPro .mov in my mind where I see the whole episode with just a few lapses in the movie.

I suppose I will recover them

One by one

 

It's already epic

The whole family knows the story now

 

Music is played in milleseconds

With a great deal of planning before you ever play the first note in a song

Time slows down

Fun In Music

If you can't have fun playing music, you are in the wrong business.

How to play the Song

I have figured out what it is.
When I saw James Hogan as my rhythm guitar player in church yesterday.
I stood out on the Grateful Dead Rug and said here is where the backbeat is.
I saw the musicians with me and they seemed so frail.
ROCK OUT. Play your notes. If you fuck up the chart, so what.
The song. Play the song. Rock Out.
Rock Out.
I stomped the backbeat. Sweating.
Here is where the song is.
James, working with the chart.
My mind, the chart is not the song.

The Blood of Jesus

I had never thought that it would offend a fellow Christian if I prayed The Blood of Jesus over them or a brethren.
I was wrong.

Heartbreak Hotel

A drawing last year or so. Wanted to convert it into 3D. Finally did.

Normal

I've never thought I was a normal person. Not ever.
After I got hit by a car in front of my parents when I was seven, and realized soon after that I knew everything I would need to know about death and dying. I was even less normal. This life seemed like a luxury after that.
