@_dariussimpson These lines from Frank O’Hara’s “To the Harbormaster” run through my head all the time: Yet I trust the sanity of my vessel; and if it sinks, it may well be in answer to the reasoning of the eternal voices, the waves which have kept me from reaching you.

I scored at the thrift store today - 3 bucks for this Robert Indiana Love, 1966, silkscreen. I've since removed it from the ugly frame and found a little water damage on the back. But wow, a dream come true.

Sad to hear about the death of Tom Phillips, who began altering a forgotten Victorian novel, A Human Document, in 1970. His altered version became the stunningly beautiful A Humament: A Treated Victorian Novel.

Favorite drawing I’ve ever done - Uncle Mike. He was sketchily employed & living with us, circa ‘79, when I was about 10. He chased me through the house threatening to destroy it until I agreed to redact his name. Not sure why he was angry, I thought he was a recumbent god.

Treasure from the Sterling Morrison archive arrived today - his bar tab from Max’s Kansas City, postmarked December 1970, so covering the costs from their final summer residency when The Velvet Underground recorded Live at Max’s Kansas City. My own little Hall of Fame display!

@jayasax I'm stopped at a light on Route 41 in Highland Park, IL, and singing at the top of my lungs, windows down, on a hot summer night. I look to the car next to me & Michael Jordan is staring at me. He's not flat out disgusted, but he's not exactly enjoying it either. He shut me down.
