- Boom-Bada-Boom-Bada-Boom 4646As much as I tried to keep it sane and clean I kept going back to some crazy songs that would play perfectly at the joint where we’ll be playing tonight, and with Kevin and Rory being the terrible influences they are, they encouraged me to cut...
- Riding The Strange Highway Again 4645We rolled into Springfield a little before seven, and we checked into a budget hotel. Fortunately, they had a room for Rory and me. We slept in the passenger van but decided to get a few more hours of winks in before looking for excitement. Doing sh...
- Bringing Down The House 4644The Rattlers opened the show with, “Mud King” a loud and relentless rocker that got the crowd wound up. They followed with, “Prairie Dust” “Evil Kingdom” “Tattered Scarecrow” “Blood on the Plains&...
- Dodge City Rocks 4643We arrived in Dodge City a little after four, which gave us plenty of time to get something to eat before the show. I had called Randy, and like a trooper, he brought the tour bus to pick us up. The smiling genius greeted us warmly and asked what he...
- The Wild Wild West 4642Tabitha came over to the house before sunrise to ask Blake if she wanted to go to a women’s retreat in the mountains for the weekend. “We can get there in an hour, but we need to get going. We get a private plane and then a van to the ret...
- The Informant 4641At supper time, Farley and his band were still in the studio recording songs. I checked in on them and learned that they had decided to start working on their new album. “After we recorded the song for your movie, we agreed to keep going,”...
- Disc Of Absurdities 4640I showered up after working on the farm and then walked into the living room where Blake was chatting with Tabitha. I had just sat down when Cullen pulled up with a DVD in hand. He asked if he could play it. I asked him what it was, and he said that...
- Fame, Money, So What 4639Blake got done what she needed at the school, so she picked up the kids and came home where I was preparing subs for dinner. Bruce pulled up shortly after she arrived saying that my wife had invited him. I made the star a sub and we all sat down to e...
- Paganini 4638Blake took the kids to music class and then went to the school to help Alan and his staff to get ready for the start of school, something that always seems to befuddle the professor and his cohorts. After finishing up on the farm, I showered and then...
- New Frontier 4637I woke a little after five and joined the family in the living room. Blake made up some chicken salad, and we had it for supper. The oppressive heat has taken its toll on my family, and no one wanted to eat or do much. Having been raised without air...
- Only The Films Are Make-Believe In Hollywood 4606Cullen brought his bike over for Jude, who waited in anticipation. Robert rumbled up on his motorcycle, and we were ready to rumble. He told us to wait for a second as Barton was on his way. Once the billionaire arrived, we took off with me leading t...
- Working Behind The Scene 4604The earliest show for “Blood Relative” started at twelve-thirty, so I asked Robin to watch the kids, which she said she would. Bob and Bruce also said they would take in the early show. The rest of the crew said they would catch the flick...
- Stock Assumptions 4605I was about to take the family out to supper when Ali escorted a tall, handsome gentleman to the house. She then introduced me to Jude Osber, who extended his hand while flashing me a winning smile. “Scragg Man, it’s a pleasure and honor...
- The Best Way To Celebrate An Achievement 4602Blake beat me out of bed this morning and when I walked into the kitchen, I saw her reading something on her laptop. “More of Alan’s incompetence,” I asked. “No, the premiere of “Blood Relative” was last night in L...
- Mommie Is A Cat 4603Naturally, a glitch would have to get tossed in with this special day, and it came in the form that Blake is all too familiar. The past caught on video strikes again. Marty didn’t want to show me, but then handed me his iPhone and I watched Bla...
- The Hollywood Grapevine 4601Maire joined Blake and me in the living room where we were taking a breather. My daughter said that she talked to one of her friends in Hollywood who told her that a lot of insiders are cursing Jordan’s name. “Apparently, the film he is s...
- Success Through Simplicity 4599Alan’s incompetence required Blake’s presence at the school, which pissed me off, so I spent much of the morning drawing scathing pictures of my old buddy in various forms of absurdity. Blake finally called to tell me to stop. “The...
- Fighting The Right Battles 4600Blake, the kids, and I went over to Paige and Michael’s with a tub of fried chicken that I cooked up along with cole slaw and potato wedges. My daughter looked good but was tired. We all made a fuss over Christopher, who was oblivious to all t...
- Rapture In The Studio 4598Joey and the band helped me finish the third song and then we recorded some instrumental music that Seth could use in the film. Marty said it sounded terrific, which was what I wanted to hear and it made the session a productive one. The rest of the...
- Backwoods Disciple 4597I worked on songs for “Holy Sinner” in the morning that Seth told me were my responsibility. “The Devil’s Sermon” “Backwoods Salvation” and “Blind Testimony” were the tunes I chose to record. I fo...
