Udo’s a straight guy — when pushed into a corner he’ll bring out the gay accusation, if only obliquely.  Considering his time and place, he’s not doing too badly on the tolerance range.

Today’s the 9th of June.  We are hurting so bad.  We got the entire 1980′s double-wide rewired.  They have a gajillion outlets, and we had to haul out all the furniture — which set off a spate of cleaning and painting.  After a week of hauling and stretching, we’re taking the day off today instead of tomorrow.

We can do anything we did when we were kids — it just takes longer all the time to recover.  it’s why I don’t go to shows so much any more, people.  If I spend three days on top of my game at a show, it’s up to a week of misery when I get home, and no work getting done.  Back in the day I used to mark on the calendar, on the day after I came back from a show, “Be sick.”

I got a choice — show my meat face or show my art.  There ya go.  Get me slaves to haul all these books and give me a massage every night and I’ll go anywhere you please.  “I’m a Leo — where are my servants!?”
