Springtime for oh never mind it’s been an exciting couple of months I had an art show at a place downtown called the Los Angeles center for digital art showcasing my history of tequila a collection of royal time travel. I feel very lucky that it was seen by someone in Austria and I’ll have a show over there later this year the only problem is the sex pistols will be playing in Los Angeles in October and I really want to see them before I leave I’m so glad the tour is coming to LA I’ve been looking forward to this since Frank Carter joined the band only because it’s more like everybody in the audience sings along and we all love the songs that Johnny wrote with the boys even though Mr rotten is squealing like a stuffed pork chop he has the wonderful public image limited to play with and he didn’t want the dirty old nasty old sex pistols anyway cuz God forbid we have fun. One thing I’ve learned after 45 years of watching Mr rotten is that a angry young man will become a grouchy old man if he isn’t careful he loves to go across Europe complaining about everything and people pay for it they’re there for it and his maga tips always show some of us just want to have a good time in the old days that’s what we did.
I’m working at dig it all the gallery that came after the Museum of digital art we put on shows every other weekend pretty much which is fun I’m looking forward to my birthday show late May I’m doing a vampire party I figure I’m old enough to be part of the undead and so is everyone coming to my party we’re all going to dress up like Dracula’s daughters and have an evening of dark spooky birthday fun you’re all invited dig it all up Melrose and Larchmont and the party is May 25th. I remember if you don’t dress like a vampire you’re not getting in. Dress to distress. This weekend we had the wonderful Rainbow bar and grill 53rd birthday party with Michael Monroe the guy even had slash sitting in with him at one point and faster pussycat played who my absolutely love who doesn’t love Tamie? I certainly do last night we had Steven Perkins at the Whiskey A Go Go another old friend whom I adore and he had Norton Wisdom a great artist friend of mine painting while he played. Robby Krieger has been playing at the whiskey every month which is awesome for the Doors fans as he is rendering each record with each performance . Sissy Piana came to Los Angeles to pick up the door statue that we had been showing in the gallery, She’s just completed the four doors for a future project hopefully I of course was planning to take the project to UCLA where they went film School if it’s some one made a better offer took the statue to his house and it promptly got burned up in the fire
Went to breakfast the other day at the fabulous Mel’s diner down the street from the whiskey on the sunset strip so delicious and it used to be a place called Ben Frank’s where we all went after hours you either went there or cancer is in the 80s we love the 24-hour feature on these eateries. Kim Kardashian opened a spanks shop called skims right next door it had its own black guard on the door in case anyone thought of stealing some underpants and was filled with stretchy steel girded undies for girls who need structure my favorite thing was the giant plastic statue in the center of the room with the biggest behind I’ve ever seen in my life obviously a new form of Art.

Mark from Devo had an art opening downtown at his new gallery. His gallery is called .ut Muz. And it’s located in Chinatown it’s a very cute and Mark was in great spirits the place was packed there was New Life in Chinatown which has been noticeably empty since Trump called it the China virus what a mess the place is absolutely gorgeous Chinatown it’s a wonderful location a great place to go and eat and hang out we hung out there in the ‘80s at the Hong Kong Cafe or madam Wong’s the atomic Cafe or Al’s bars.

I was going to be in the TV series on Punk about the Chinatown music wars but I’m pro Hong Kong Cafe and matawan’s because they were nice to all of us the Hong Kong Cafe was all right I got along with them fine in fact I just did an interview for a film that they’re making but I would never put down madam Wong she was super nice to me I think she had a soft spot for people who were not acting out because there was a whole lot of that going on I know I was booking New Wave theater at the time and some people were real cool and some people were not real or cool.

One of my close friends Clem Burke passed away. He was the drummer for Blondie. I got to play with him a few times once when he was in the international swingers with Glenn Matlock from the pistols and Gary Twinn and once with the Long shadows. I just adored him he played my birthday party at the punk Museum downtown when I had it at KGB studios great occasion the last time I saw him was at a Long shadows gig always in good spirits willing to play with all our friends totally amazing person I can see him hanging out with Mitch and Jimmy and Lemmy and the gang sniffing clouds smoking trees cuz there’s no AA in the after world nature is our high or so I’ve been told by the dreams I’ve been having of all my Rockstar friends up there.

I’m always looking for fun and I have to be my own fun actually that’s the last video I made with Glenn Burke it’s called You’re My fun you can only see me for like a flash of a second in Blondie’s video.

The sex pistols are coming to LA with their new singer Frank Carter there shows throughout Europe sell out every time and the whole audience sings along which makes it more like a family get together then a punk rock recital
