Why does the trucking industry sound interesting to me?? For the past couple years I've kept the idea of going to "trucker school" on the ole back burner. Usually, things left on the back burner get thrown out with the Jamesons bottles. Like the english degree, the t-shirt business, the journalism degree, the BOWFLEX, life, y'know....shit like that. But this whole truck drivin' fascination has not been shaken out despite the constant pounding of sticky-icky, whiskey, Amstel Light, Robitussin, noise rock, and cold pizza applied to that particular part of the brain. Maybe it's the possibility of being by myself with just ONSTAR and some fucking tunes.
"Breaker Breaker good buddy, this is Snake Plissken. Where can a friendly get a piece of the hay hay? over."
Cross country trucking would enable me to check out other record stores. This is a good thing. Negative thing being the cost of a rig. It would probably be optimal to own your own rig at some point. I don't feel any roots in the area I live in, so the whole nomad lifestyle wouldn't be a problem. Being jacked up on Red Bull and No-Doz with countless hours of Acid Mothers Temple playing on the radio isn't too bad either. Plus my look is IDEAL. It's like I'm in character but there is no performance. Maybe I should apply myself...accomplish SOMETHING.
anti-social.....check
hates authority.....check
can't deal with the public....check
can't get laid.....check
Look like the Brawny paper towel guy...check
no objections to speed usage...check
already adapt to greasy spoon cooking....check
Fuck man, where do I sign?
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
SOUNDTRACK OF THE DAY
Shalabi Effect
Derek Bailey
Derek Bailey is my inspiration to keep playing the fucking guitar and slopping up the place with my style. He makes me want to PRACTICE and achieve. The fucking POWER TEAM, PUNCHY THE ROBOT, and SMOKEY THE BEAR could do none of those thing for me as a child. All I needed was a creepy British improviser who looks like Noam Chomsky.....who in turn looks like a sex offender. Why do a solid group of the people in improvised music/noise rock look like sex offenders?
Don't even get me started on Will Oldham. The ice-cream man no one talks too.
EDDIE HAZEL IS GOD. KNEEL AT HIS ALTAR! HARDCORE JOLLIES FOREVER!!!

John Fahey is the be all end all of guitar inspiration as of late.......ahhh the life of a trucker....Say, if you do this for real...I am going to buy a Trans-am and we can have cross country adventures involving illegal breakfast sausage and hot pants. I will, of course, wear cowboy hat and silk shirts and you will go by the name Red "Spider" Konwalachuck.........now, we just have to locate all the thrown away parts from Lonnie Anderson's body and we are in buisness......
