Mouse Guts My Cat Left Me
was never given a fair shot
I am still OCD about getting on STAGE and settled BEFORE the lights go down
No one, and I mean no one, used to care about that
Brown M&Ms were more about safety than extravagance
Retsyn made The Dating Game obsolete
We only had one groupie
Which was really sad
She was wearing something fuzzy and white
or was she the punk rocker with pink streaky hair
Nothing happened
But I had a nightmare within a nightmare
She was photocopying her boobs in the career advisory center after hours
and I was trying to stay quiet and hidden but she spotted me and
cover blown
I ran out of there, woke up (or so I thought) and she was standing over the foot of my bed
a la Kathy Bates in Misery
only she was rubbing my feet with fluorescent pink bologna and sighing
Turned out it wasn’t a dream but a trend that caught on like our album
She got a few royalties
The soaring price of lunch meat killed all of it
The band had a simple premise
band is completely anonymous
plays all their own instruments
as well as found objects/toys/tools
member personalities/egos (yes, the “E” word) were in conflict
and ways were went, separately
so
Update
Blue Jew On Kazoo (his initials) moved to Austin
Does the occasional musical gig
but mostly does sheetrock and apprentices with an electrician
Our other two regular members declared their love for each other
went on a road trip
And then nothin’
Nice guys, too
There are now grand stories of MRIs and barium solutions
of first colonoscopies (yes, the dreaded OTHER YouTube)
when
under heavy sedation
I asked to see the Dolly Grip
Opened for Dolly on a Thursday afternoon
Wasn’t the Dolly I expected
Was supposed to be feathered and crimped
I ALWAYS get hosed on my birthday
