  • Go groan, go roll your bones.

    Good for you. Would love to hear more about your crossed paths.

  • Bless the Beats for jump starting our consciousness in the black and white Ike fifties. And corrupting this seventeen year old with anarchy and smack thirty years later when they shot Regan. I've crossed paths with William, Allen, and Gregory - albeit only for a moment - and moments or a maybe a year before their deaths - and I spat praise -and am grateful that I shared the Earth at the same time thy did - Now let us go moan for man.
