First you invited us to
have a beer in your
van, then you
offered back stage fun
by the lake in Syracuse.
The DBs,
then you, Little Feat:
a legendary
show because it changed
my life. Oh, but I still cry
about yours. What the hell made
it impossible
for you to
resist whatever
recreational was in
front of you,
or bar fights? Your home
town of Reston police
finally had enough, too
much, but how did this lead such
a gifted
guitarist to end it all?
Or did you
have it ended for
you? I switched the guilt
I felt to
a story in my favor.
I still pray
our short time as friends
was good for you too.
