This is the view I woke up to in Virginia Beach this morning. It's kind of like where I live only it's on the other side of the room. Played a show last night at The Jewish Mother. I didn't expect to have such a good turnout. Saw Dana and Bill and Bill's hip. Yay! Whoa! A bunch of dolphins just swam by. I want to be a dolphin.
ADD kicks in right about now.
Mountain Stage in west Virginia was a hoot. I thought it would be broadcast live but it won't be on until May sometime. I'll let you know.
After the show, all of the band went over to The Empty Glass in downtown Charleston West Virginia for a post show jam with the house band. I sang Gloria and rolled around on the ground.
Here's a picture of Phoebe from The Belleville Outfit wearing the the new Steve P t-shirt design.
These T's are now available on this here website in men's and women's sizes. American Apparel cottony shirts. Also available are live shows! Starting in Phoenix and still going strong. Order them and pretend you were at the show. We send 'em to our merch headquarters as we go.
Sometimes I like to go to The American Apparel website and look at the models. I only do this when when I feel like no one is looking over my shoulder.
I guess I'm outta here again. That's the way it goes when you're due to play shows in a geographical location that's far from the area I'm standing in. That's ok though because if I didn't show up to play then the economy could collapse. Oh wait- it already did. Oh well, at least I get to eat free chili and play for my supper and meet cool people.
Try on hats and stuff.
Did I have lunch with John Doe yesterday in Bakersfield or was I captured?
Am I really in Mexico?
Am I even me?
How long have I been captured?
Can I trust me?
I don't even know who I think I am.
Breaking News!
Perhaps this video holds the clues.
Thanks to Westy for risking his life to deliver this exclusive footage.
I thought it would be fun to make up a sad song.
Yay! Sadness is fun.
Sadness is the new black.
Sadness is in style.
I'm not depressed.
I just like making stuff up.
I actually had the melody already written.
Perhaps I'll change the lyrics to happy ones.
for now it goes like this.
Falling away so far from you
Nothing at all I can do
I知 lost and unmanned
I知 vaguely suntanned
I faked my life
I can fake my death
I walk by but no one sees me
I may as well be dead
Expecting the least is my m.o.
High on nothing just an average joe
I think I知 diverse
from better to worse
I faked my life
I can fake my death
I walk by but no one sees me
I may as well be dead
memories etched in the haze of my mind
it pleases my heart to think of you kind
with your beautiful eyes
telling me beautiful lies
you faked your love
I can fake my death
I walk by but you don稚 see me
I may as well be dead
I played a show at Pappy and Harriet's the other day and Mr. Steve Wozniak came out to the show from Los Angeles where he was giving a talk. I think he heard me singing and rambling on XM and wanted to see a show. I'm such an Apple computer geek that I almost fainted. I mean, that's cooler if James Taylor had shown up. So then he informs me that he's going to be on the TV show Dancing With The Stars. I don't really watch TV so I've never seen the show but I guess it's big. Who has time to watch TV? It seems like I have a show every night and it's too hard to watch TV and drive at the same time. What's even weirder is last night I played a show with Jewel and she tells me she's going to be on Dancing With The Stars and so is her husband Ty Murray. They're all going to be in the next installment competing against each other. So I'm going to know 3 people on a TV show that I've never seen. I guess that's a sign from God that I need to start watching television more. That should have been my New Year's resolution. Watch more TV.Start smoking cigarettes. And start selling handguns. Blog more frequently.Learn how to shoot heroin.
Those are my new goals.
Here's a new song I made up with a cool video shot by O. The 2 gentlemen playing with me are Christopher Hoffee on the 12 string and Jim Austin on the stand up bass.
Jim own The Rim Rock Ranch where we stayed. You can stay there too! Joshua Tree is beautiful this time of year.
sing along with Steve!
I'm Killin' Myself (to be with you)
I jump up and I fall down
Either way I hit the ground
I climb a tree I go so high
lose my grip I almost die
Fallin' through the branches
I知 helpless nothing I can do
I知 breaking my neck
I知 a scratched up wreck
I値l let gravity pull me through
No matter what I do
I知 killin' myself to be with you
I値l swim the ocean wide and blue
To prove to you my love is true
It痴 far across and so deep down
I値l probably sink most likely drown
Floatin' to the bottom
I知 helpless nothing I can do
I知 taking in water
I ain稚 no otter
I値l let gravity pull me through
No matter what I do
I知 killin' myself to be with you
You are far away from me
And I will do almost anything
I値l climb inside an old coal mine
Cuz honey baby you池e so fine
I値l blast to the center of the earth
If the dynamite don稚 kill me first
Fallin' down a mineshaft
I知 helpless nothing I can do
My pants are on fire
I知 filled with desire
I値l let gravity pull me through
No matter what I do
I知 killin' myself to be with you
