A New Tat To Memoralize This Solemn International Disaster
Sounds like a good idea, right? I believe I'll put more thought into MY new tattoo than this guy did. btw ... don't BE this guy. I GUARANTEE you this tattoo will be more common than the thousands of folks who get 'em.
Beej. OK, as a personage with multiple tattoos already and another scheduled only to have the session with the needles cxld due to social distancing, I feel qualified to speak on this issue. For starters the cleverness of thought gets lost in a somewhat shitty design. The tp roll, date and script are your message but whatinthefuck does the rest of it have to do with anyfuckingthing? And the script should have been placed inside a banner made from the tail of tp paper, not on a silly ribbon.
Second, and more importantly, the execution is really shitty. Since you know this person wants to show this dealio to the world, with sun exposure the red tinge will disappear before a year's time, and all the shadings will melt away. But having said all that, who really gives a shit?
I actually wanted to comment on the loss of Mr. JP. My opinion we just lost the best social commentor since old Willy Shakes and a masterful writer of tunes. The first time I heard "Hello in There" was a week after one of my grandfathers died. I'd not spent any time connected with him for several years and his death was a surprise. I bawled my eyes out when the message hit me square in my gut.
Then I played Bette Midler's version as soon as I heard John died. And bawled my eyes out. The fifty-years between first-and-last listenings has created bipolar perspectives, like looking first through the eyepiece of a spyglass and then turning it around.
Wait a second, there, Bub. That song is about OLD TIMERS! Don't be 'Hello In There'n' ME! heh heh Bette Midler has a version? Well, I'm there in a minute! I stopped crying a couple hours ago so I'll re-hydrate and hit her up. Lastly your firstly summation of tattoos is mostly spot on and spoken like a true eccentric who totes both a Sali D. and a Bottle Fly(or is it Blow Fly?), publicly demonstratinge your ... range. Like you I feel a new tattoo is in order and I'm thinking both deeply and HIGHLY ..... about it. Thanks for the guidelines. I really DO appreciate your 'Hello In There' shout out, too. Props to you and the Missus. Thanks for stopping by ....
ps posting Prine's 'Hello In There' was my first reaction to the news of his death. How about a tat of JP on stage playing that old Martin CF, a few musical notes, April 7, 2020(on a banner lol) and the lyrics " Singin' The TrumpVirus™ Blues" ... or some shit.
I heard The Devine M at Armadillo World Headquarters twiced, once on pot and second on mushies. Barry Manilo was her piano player and both times she played for nearly three hours. It was early in her career--I think 1973 or so. I was dating a Jewish girl who turned me on to Bette, and so much more. Actually considered conversion since I was already circumcised after she invited me to meet her parents, a precept seriousness. All thoughts of marriage ended when she called me one day to tell me I needed to go see a doctor. Seems what I saw as "exclusivity" she saw as "just a couple". The other guy, a Marine she had dated before who just got back from youknowwhere, laid the clap to her, then she to me. My Bette Midler albums sat unheard for several years afterwords.
As for tats, my fly is Sali D as well. Its namesake sits in the bottom of a thick shot glass I got over to his museum in Florida. Next tat is a colorful tree frog with dinner plans including a fat green bottle fly. I think that a bottle fly is one variety of blow fly, and my image is designed to look iridescent. That's why I have insight into the tp tat as my green colorings need to be juiced-up when I do froggy. I've got a lot of work to do to get my life's story inked to my wrinkled old hide. Still got plans to have it tanned and framed for my memorial service.
lmao! How about those assless chaps? Still got those? You should be decorating your 'Moon' with Safety Slogans and PSAs for the public and parading through the neighborhooooo .... AND Hello In There, for the old folks, wearing those chaps! Oh Yeah, fer shure, you'd make ....
okay, I'll give ol' Bette E for effort and my total respect for having die Gonaden to try ... but when JP sings a a SONG? That motherfucker stays SUNG. Okay okay .... mebbe, Steve Goodman, MAYbe. Critics everywhere, huh? heh heh when I think of Bette Midler this is the image that comes to MY .... mind.
