Bryan Adams is no Paul Rodgers.

Approaching Veteran's Day, here's my maternal GF Joseph Aloysius Mahar, of Long Branch, NJ, 2nd left, Engineer, w/his crew somewhere in France, WW I. Cover of my first solo music CD "Men in Love," designed by Chicago's Very Own Sheila Sachs. Now streaming everywhere worldwide.👏

Now playing at the Chicago Grindhouse: "Napoleon at Gaza" youtu.be/2zsR0caysyE?...

Finally after all these years the goal line looms, age 65: WOW, MAN! FINALLY: Permanent Semi-Retirement! It's so French.

"Bust That MPs Balls, Babygurl!"

"Tyranny of the Weak"

Whenever AI kicks into whatever shit I'm trying to do myself I get insulted, first of all.

"Bobby"

You guys it appears that none other than Hollywood's Susan Sarandon has single-handedly apprehended the Louvre heist suspects. Jewels not yet recovered. You can't write this shit!

Yes!👏

Thank you Ginsbergpoem! I can’t believe I have to go into a Dispensary & explain to the teens who Edie Parker REALLY was!❤️❤️❤️

for blackstar's SEEN journal, i had the honor of writing about becoming the country's largest black film distributor and the history of racist practices that keeps black film distribution locked up in a cyclical prison. www.blackstarfest.org/seen/read/is...

I know @rickkogan.bsky.social can, like me, literally hear Dom Pacyga say "it's just a little FIE-RR! (there's still buttloads of money to be made)" in the now-fading CANARYVILLE way. I'm making my call, here, BOTY jamokes!🕺

You guys Windy City is actually a pretty good New York burn. We should embrace it! Right after the Great Fire, TRAINLOADS of Shelley "The Machine" Levene's made for the Big Apple HATS IN HAND...20 years later we smoked them for the World's Fair. "Oh sure, that Windy..." We get it. It's a good one.

My assistant Snowie getting a text from her 18 yr. old Mexican son Friday afternoon saying he wasn't at his SE side CHI school b/c ICE is raiding it.

“What I need you to know is we are organized. “What I need you to know is that you need to get organized. “What I need you to know is they are coming. “What I need you to know is you can stop them.”

Acknowledgments from Camden Joy's just arrived "Unforgetting 'Flubber," about art being made here in the winter of '88. I still say "alt country" is a typo; it's art country. They were always an art band to me. I'm proud to have been there for it, thank you Mr. Joy for this joy.🙏

Come to where the J.J. is. Come to Jimmy's in Forest Park (315 S. Harlem @ Washington)🕺

Thinking back on when I was 12 and super into Marvel comics, but I knew instinctively that I shouldn’t go near the X-Men (then at their absolute peak of popularity) because their world was clearly so baroque and extensive my comics budget wouldn’t survive it. I’ve basically always been me, iow.

"Billy's Goddam Band"

Roku where'd ya go to? Oh, third party at fault, eh? Yeah, that sux. Jesus...

I'm just blue skyin' it here. GET IT?!🕺

Right so thinking out loud these are called Instamatics (made expressly for the Socials) but short ones are weird in a book I think but I'll make a groovy little paperback w/a truly SMOKIN' Pulp Pin-Up the babygurls will luv & dedicate it to the Electric Train Rider. Dibs if not copyright.

Thank you always @jclillig2.bsky.social since you're effectively My Ideal Reader and also I'm now calling these Instamatics. They're expressly for the Socials. Pretty fired up!

Hey, man, just b/c it's just a fart in the windstorm doesn't mean it's not a good fart. Take heart.

"Nothing But Clouds"

"Like a Neighbor"

Remember the Star Trek where Benny Cumberbatch as Khan pulls the old Hit A Civilian Target--Wait For The Leaders To Gather To Respond Then Hit That? Quantico, anyone? Or 9/11, where not an hour after WTC they took out U.S. Naval Intelligence for the Persian Gulf where they'd all met? Yeah. Remember?

"Dave on Jupiter."

TOMAHAWKS?! "Can my Tomahawk's arc sustain/unto the MiGs/yet rusting/at Ur?" Now playing at the Chicago Grindhouse. "Scramble." youtube.com/shorts/zbob-...

Tomorrow at the @artinstitutechi.bsky.social from 12 noon to 2:00 pm! For Writing in the Galleries in connection with the Elizabeth Catlett "A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies" exhibit! Come get a poem while you wait! www.artic.edu/exhibitions/...

Jane Birkin at Rainbo I met Jane Birkin at Rainbo this past summer and now I really, really want to make her a bag.
