This record is severely dedicated to Pappy Allen.

Pappy Allen & Victoria Williams "Pappy was human plutonium. After only sitting by his side, you would leave radiated. And this was a radiation that would grow within you. And you could never forget it. If you never stopped in Pioneertown to see him, then you are fortunate never knowing the pain of missing him. He was the greatest human being on Earth, as far as I know."

Age Of Glum Wisdumb

Hey Pal. Come a little closer. We should talk before it gets too late. I wanna explain my behavior pattern. Listen up. It's me. Glum boy. I'm oh so sad. Po me, wince. But lissen up. I'll be all happy later. Cause really I'm just a happy hick at heart. It's just lately here in me crusty last days of this century the burdensome task of breathing has become choreful and soreful. But thats not all sad. It's mostly funny. Ha ha ha By now we may have survived for the most part the slapping around of Jupiter by Shoemaker-Levy 9.... The string-of-pearls unstranded.... Drive-by shooting (stars). None the less you plop at the end of the day well worn and slip tongued. Good for ya. You'll need to leave the flip of lip for the shed of dead. It's a tuff shed. But we all get to shed. Just wait in line. Take/have a number. And in the meantime the little kids keep you laughing and runnin'.... plenty to do. Plenty not to. You don't realize how heavy you are! It takes a whole lot of magic and sinew to wake up out that door with each toe in tow and each vision in revision. Go and divide. Go and multiply. Or stay and reinvent. Just vent.

So kick out the jams and lets party like it's 1994.
