In honor of our friend Alk and to the memory of hs 19 year old son.
Been through this 6 terrible times with close friend and my aunt.
There is nothing that even comes close to the loss of a child.
To my world on Facebook which is far from small.
Bless you Alk.
" Good morning world.
In honor of my friend in Kansas who recently lost his teenage son who was clearly a very good young man with a helluva future ahead of him.
Mike Patton is my friend’s favorite artist for very good reasons, mine too.
“The Real Thing” is Faith No More’s 3rd studio album released in 1989 when the world moved just a little bit with the release of the video for “Epic”.
Bought the cassette on the way to see Allanah Miles opening for Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin at Great Woods in Mansfield Massachusetts.
Helluva night.
It is the first tape I bought that was not boring solid white. It was clear with blue. Ever after to be called “The Little Blue Tape”.
Absolutely nothing little about it.
Every song knocks it outta the park in the most unique of ways.
This has been my favorite song since first listen.
Jefferson spoke about the necessity of a revolution every 15 years to keep shit honest. He was not just talking about the blood of patriots and tyrants alike.
The likes of Mike Patton are even better. No violence. Just by his mere existence the conventional are challenged and often change for the better in everything he touches.
Long live Mike Patton and to the eternal memory of this young man the world has lost the privilege of knowing.
If you don’t know who he is, do yourselves a favor and look him up.
The world needs fully confident, gifted non conformist assholes with a great sense of humor and balls of steel like us to challenge the conventional in the best of ways.
And it helps to be devastatingly handsome. Well, Mike is anyway.
My soul brother, Mike Patton.
Good morning world.
Signed,
Just a little baby
Who’s cute and sweet as candy
Zombie Eaters
"You’re everything
That’s why I cling to you
When I emerge my thoughts converge to you
(To you)
The world is so small, compared to you
And everybody’s wrong compared to you
(To you)
I begin to see through your eyes
All the former mysteries
Are no surprise
So now you listen
'Cause I’m omniscient
Hey look at me lady
I’m just a little baby
You’re lucky to have me
I’m cute and sweet as candy
As charming as a fable
I’m innocent and disabled
So hug me, and kiss me
Then wipe my butt and piss me
I hope you never leave
'Cause who would hear me scream?
Nobody understands
Except the toys in my hands
So now you listen
'Cause I’m omniscient
Hey look at me lady
I’m just a little baby
If I smile, then you smile
Then I’ll get mad for awhile
I melt in your mouth
And in you hands whenever I can
But I really do nothing
Except kickin’ and fussin’
I like to make a mess
I laugh at your distress
I sit all day in my crib
Absorbing all you give
I’m helpless
I’m flawless
I’m a machine
Give me, I need my toys…
Keep me hot, keep me strong
Keep me ever everlong So now you listen
'Cause I’m omniscient"
