TRUTH IS A RIGHTEOUS HARD-ON
JIZZO
I'm waiting...I'm still waiting...waiting, waiting...oh, FUCK IT...I waited for
true love to walk in thru this bus door, I've waited 35 minutes, if it hasn't happened by
now it's NEVER gonna happen. Get thee to nunnery, Jizz, because you'll get none this
season. Try the next equinox, you've always been luckier in the spring....
Such is my life so far. Under my leather pants I'm wearing the robes of a Benedictine
monk, all sackcloth and ashes, condemned to die a virgin, relatively speaking. My cosmic
muffin is being fucked with, yet again. This cannot happen.
Everyone's asking me what I think of all the other bands I'm playing with on this tour,
obviously to trap me into a compromising situation. Spies are everywhere. Asking me what I
think of someone else's music is like asking Mrs. Lincoln what she thought of the play. I,
for the record, like and respect all the members of this tour. They play well, they got
their shit together, and everyone's been ultra-cool to me, the Fucking New Guy. Let's
leave it at that.
Music is subjective, always has been. I've been hated for years, both before and after my
records. IN FACT, I can't think of a time when someone didn't think I sucked. Oh, don't
cry for me, Argentina, I think I've taken it on the chin well enough. And my career still
goes on, regardless of the slings and arrows. I am a terminal cynic, from the Latin
Cynicus Rex, - "Man who hates everything musically and can never be satisfied with
any performance, he'd tell Robert Plant how to sing 'Song Remains The Same' whilst drunk,
spitting orange peels in his face." Yep, that about sums it up. Under this asshole
exterior beats the heart of a real asshole...
I sit on the side of the stage and watch the performances of the other bands. Although I
don't know many of their songs, obviously the people do. They know all the fucking songs,
word for word. And they cheer like the Romans at the Coloseum. So I stand corrected at
this, obviously I've missed the boat somewhere, who's to know?
All I know is that every night I have an open microphone in front of me. An open forum to
speak my mind. This is my dream, this is my nitemare. I can say ANYTHING I want; think of
it. Most people would prepare a speech of sorts; I just wing it. Every nite. Whatever pops
into my head. I love the spontaneity, the danger.
We are always hearing cover songs we want to do; everyone's always suggesting a new one.
Last nite Tracii ripped open my bunk curtain to suggest 'Love Hurts' by Nazareth. A good
choice, but not while I'm whacking off. He's always wanting to do some new song or
another. For weeks we've had to talk him out of the 'Beer Barrel Polka'. I do love the
spirit of UN-conformity in this group. My other group would NEVER do covers, ever. We
considered it beneath us, an insult to our own music. Whatever. If we'd done by a couple
more covers maybe we'd have sold a couple more records. And maybe I wouldn't be the only
one riding on a tour bus. Lesson learned. Do more Ted Nugent songs; do them at any
opportunity. Do them all.
Some girls just knocked on the bus. No, Tracii is not up yet, everyone's asleep but me,
the butler, but when I'm serving the boys their breakfast in bed I'll be sure to tell them
you stopped by. Count on it. Fuck it, it's nine-thirty in the morning, don't you have a
day job? Oh yeah, it's Sunday, I stand corrected. Well, if this were Iraq you'd be
working. You'd be busily making incendiary shells for your poison gas pellets, you'd be
busy chanting anti-American slogans, you'd be busy doing SOMETHING.
Every morning I sit here, alone, writing. My sleep schedule is different from the rest of
the guys. I forego the Roman Orgy and try to get to bed at a decent hour. I always get
woken up though by the grunts and groans of some nameless chick. Last nite some chick was
appalled we were all asleep at two am. She announced she was having her own private panty
raid, sort of a one-woman gang bang. She seemed a little too eager...her panties have been
touched more times than the Rosetta Stone, I'm afraid. And I WAS afraid. So I just shut my
curtain, I JUST SAID NO! I just said no to chlamydia and venereal warts and venereal
toadstools and venereal skyscraper-like growths on my dick and balls. I said no to Drippus
Erectus and Corona Rashy-rash and Mothball Urethra and Lip-all-fucked-up and Halitosis of
the Underside of my Nuts. I just said no to the Michael Chancre, the Grand Poobah of open
sores, the King.... I just said no. Wear a Rubber, I was told. Wear two rubbers. Wear one
on your head, just in case. Rubbers seem a little too thin for what YOU'VE got, darling.
I'd need a stainless-steel motherfucking body cast to keep me from He who Walks Behind the
Cunt Lips...Children of the Porn. So I just said no. nonononono no pussy, no head, no
squeezing of the lemon, no...not this time.
It's nice outside. When I left L.A. it was 108 degrees. Imagine that, 108. Even your air
conditioner is telling you to fuck off. I'd much rather be in a more Temperate Zone,
namely, East Jordan, MI, where the sun always shines and there's a friendly 24-hour
mini-market next door. One that DOESN'T sell crack. Or have winos pissing their pants out
front. Or hookers demanding your money. What a marked change from MY neighborhood. I
forgot that there are other real human beings out there who aren't freaks of nature. Where
I live it's like running the gauntlet just to get a soda.
People are always at me about moving----
"If it sucks so bad, just get the fuck out"
"You don't have to live there surely"
Hmmm...I know I don't have to live there.. I could live in a dumpster if I wanted to. I
guess I'm afraid that if I leave the gutter I'll turn into some faggy F. Scott Fitzgerald
type, spokesman for the woes of the very-rich. And FUCK THAT!! There's nothing worse than
hearing about the trials and tribulations of the privileged few daddy's girl rich kids
whose Corvette just broke down on the way to Spring Break. Let's NEVER go there, shall we?
No, for now I'll think I'll stay rite here, front lounge, coffee cup, notebook, donut,
cock ring, truth. A spokesman for the man who has nothing and is damn glad of it. A pillar
of pus and the standard-bearer of bullshit to society's twisted fucked-up sense of right
and wrong, where it's OK for kids to shoot themselves extinct but we can't find a cure for
AIDS. No one knows anything about anything, just keep paying your taxes like a good little
drone, keep eating that mad cow, keep fucking with no rubbers, keep drinking that cheap
beer, keep shouting those slogans, keep lying, keep loving and leaving and learning and
landing on your feet after all those one-niters, keep judging and being misjudged, keep
buying those shitty hip-hop records that say nothing and mean everything, keep watching
the Simpsons, 'cause they're the only thing on TV worth a shit, keep having lots of kids
and treating them bad so they'll grow up like ME, fucked-up and tragic and hopeful and in
love with the IDEA of being in love, but nothing more...keep on keepin' on-----
