Pink Floyd gets it.

 

 

Sadly, reminds me very much of my older brother, who played this cassette, over and over, one summer when I was a kid.

"Gotta sleep on your toes, when your on the street ..."

 

True. Literally. I saw a junkie passed out once in NYC ... no shoes. Someone stole the shoes right off his feet. He didn't care ... He was about to OD on smack.

I have other stories.

Junkie punk rocker I knew, wearing a spiked butflap, sat down at the Baby Grand I still have. He's no longer with us, but the scratches on the Baby Grand bench are still there.

 

I walked into the room,,and flipped the fock out. 15 years old, my 21 year old bro was absent.

 

Friend of mine, still alive, non-junkie, says, "dude, calm down, we will get some scratch remover."

 

I had never heard of scratch remover,,and continued to flip the fock out. "Scratch remover? You must be focking with me, right?" and he was like, "No,,really ... It exists.."

 

Yeah, fock that ... told this story the other day to my Mom, and she said, "Oh THATS where those scratches came from." Kinda, my bro's responsibility. Oh well, piano goes to his son now, if he wants it. Scratches and all.

 

Dogs.

Btw, obv,,junkie punk rocker friend died of a heroin overdose ... but like 1987 ... way before heroin was cool.

 

Trend setter, I guess.

 

PS: buttflap, punk origin,,noun ... like a shirt, often flannel, tied around your waist. ... flaps in the wind behind you.

 

I was the first punk dude I ever know, to not just show up in serious boots, but with spurs.

 

I tell yah .. If you have never felt like a total bad ass ...one time, put on some boots with spurs ... don't hafta ride a horse or nuthin. Just walk around. Thump, ching. Thump, ching. You'll get the picture.
