Text of the page (random words):
i continue to play my instruments which stimulate my brain and keep me focused on something other than sitting by the window and waiting for the postwoman to deliver the junk mail i asked him if if i upped the dose i would be 50 percent better in four months he has a nice laugh and drives a tesla momo is a retired rn so she knows he s full of shit now i sit in my music room play my mandolin all day and write nonsense on my computer soon i will embark on my podcast adventure using my garrison keillor whisper voice combined with the folksiness of walter brennan talking to pepito about driving the tractor through the living room of the farmhouse of course being a texan you won t be able to understand my accent so i ll attach a scrolling screen of the words i speak for those of you who don t speak southern how in the hell did terry southern larry mcmurtry and truman capote ever make it through life with their southern affliction i believe taylor sheridan would appreciate my unique vocabulary in one of his many tv shows that are filmed around our town my buddy mooch is turning 80 next month and wants he and i to get together for one last songfest on our guitars he can t remember the lyrics i can t remember the chords and neither of us can carry the heavy equipment and our drummer is reduced to playing ricky ricardo bongos without lucy so it is bound to be entertaining we had our rock days back in the sixties so it deserves one final suck on the oxygen tank and a geriatric version of inna gadda da vidda wagon wheel and blackbird catch you on down the road the texan share

brain injury from five years ago but have you noticed the times have changed and dylan knew it was coming and it started about the time he was swapping spit and writing prolific pot inspired lyrics with joan baez sitting in that crappy new york apartment plucking on that old martin guitar with a bowed neck and rusted strings bob was poor as a hobo with no soup can and couldn t afford new guitar strings so joan boiled them in water and vinegar and he got a few more months out of them that trick actually works i ve tried it and it s good for your finger calluses as well dylan knew the beat crowd was old history at least everyone but kerouac and ginsberg he knew the commies were already here and planning to ruin our youth with their pious speil and now their spawn has taken up the red flag of mao pete seeger told bob about woodie guthrie and his fascism killing guitar and he thought well if woody can do it so can i and he did joan was far too clingy and wrapped him in her musical web so of course he had to ditch her after the newport folk festival at johnny cash s insistence walk the line boy get yourself a gal with some meat on her bones and can cook a pot roast with carrots and taters and your song writing will soar says ole johnny c bob was as obstinate as a politician and didn t heed the advice but he did spit out some more tunes had a motorcycle wreck and met a group of musicians from canada and one from arkansas that fit his style he made them as famous as himself the beatles had already come over the pond and changed folk loving young folks into mop top dancing fools spectors wall of sound still ruled the studio and brian wilson was writing as fast as he could in between nervous breakdowns whose hand were we supposed to hold that hair across my forehead gives me pimples chubby checker had a conniption fit because the fabs stole his song about the twist and added a shout to the title nobody did the twist anymore that was for parents martini parties at the country club and basement parties in new jersey the times started to change i got an electric guitar ditched the mandolin my father gave me ditched the violin and he loaned my gibson j45 to a relative who never returned it so the times changed for me kennedy was still in office for a few more months before our deep state took him out and nikita was pounding and breaking everything with his size 10 gucci leather shoe a breathy speaking jackie invented camelot jfk was humping marilyn and the world was on the brink of a nuclear war as castro was rolling cigars for nikita i kept playing my electric guitar it didn t faze me in the least but bob he was writing songs about all of this alice in wonderland fantasia inspired world his head was in the times had changed in a matter of months was it history or did bob inspire it maybe a bit of both then dylan picked up a fender strat plugged into a fender super reverb amp and al kooper made the hammond b3 church organ into a legend the world was aghast peter paul and mary had a collective breakdown and joan was history still writing those tired songs and whining about a long dead joe hill russia was on the move their young folks wanted dylan and the beatles but nikita wouldn t let them in so they became good little communist and toed the line much like our own good little socialist commies are doing today with an ivy league education you get two worthless degrees one that wont do you a damn bit of good and the other is a masters in socialism nikita would be proud of new york city these days a commie islamist smiling devil for a mayor my my dylan knew it was coming he warned us as pete and woody had before we didn t listen to the music close enough share this share on x opens in new window x share on bluesky opens

featured the last home the end of the line featured phil strawn 23 comments notes from the cactus patch jul 11 2026 it wasn t the first time he had gone with my wife to visit her brother in a rehabilitation center that s the newest kindest less shocking word for a nursing home it s not a pleasant place to visit and it certainly does nothing for one s mood afterward eating a pleasant lunch or running a few errands on the way home seems pointless their spirits have slipped into the reality that this could be their future existing in a similar setting with other older people in that end of life environment will their children visit and try to cheer them up or will they come by a few times a year out of guilt the man is not sure he can return but his wife is a few years younger than he is and driving a two hundred mile round trip by herself is not an option i m reminded of the traveling wilburys song with roy orbison s rocking chair moving as his cherished guitar sits in the chair instead of the recently departed roy no one wants a preview of the end of the line share this share on x opens in new window x share on bluesky opens in new window bluesky share on mastodon

tale featured phil strawn 28 comments momo and i are creatures of habit wandering through the peculiar tapestry of our country mainly the desert southwest and the mountains of far west texas drawn like a moth to a porchlight time and again to the whimsical embrace of a certain town marfa texas stands as a solitary beacon of floating lights in the mountains amidst the vastness nestled alongside its mysterious neighbors alpine and fort davis forming a curious landlocked bermuda triangle of odd happenings in the chihuahuan high desert strange lights ghostly apparitions floating around town young hipsters from austin that migrated to the new nirvana only to find out that it costs more than they can afford to live there and who will buy their third rate art and used clothing the local folks call them marfa surfers either the surf is up or down and then on to the next beach the average shelf life for these young gypsies is around three to six months then it s back to austin where their air of weirdness is commonplace each visit finds us returning to the hotel paisano a historic haunt where the stars of the film giant once breathed in the same desert air their whispers still echoing through the adobe walls reminding us of the historical stories that linger in this town there exists an ever growing assembly of characters primed to share the local tales intertwined with a potpourri of exaggerations all while maintaining a devilish demeanor as they weave their narratives and planet marfa appears to be their favored stage sagebrush sonny toluse was my favorite from our last visit sporting a long white beard and a wooden leg courtesy of a large desert dump of toxic nuclear waste from the 1945 atom bomb the waste was eaten by a group of escaped chihuahuas from a breeder in persideo which turned them into vicious mutated killer mongrels which in turn relieved him of his right leg i believed most of it but truthfully he s full of crap but it was fun crap i was hoping to run into him again ply him with beer and hear a few more stories as luck has it he was at his usual seat at the end of the bar looking much worse for wear than two years ago the dry desert air is supposed to preserve one like an egyptian mummy but sonny may be the exception he looked as if he had been vacationing in hell and just arrived home that day his drinking a case of beer a day is not considered medicinal or practical and he was smoking two cigarettes at a time with a third sitting in a classic hotel paisano glass ashtray ready to be lit i didn t see money on the bar so the kind young bartender likely lets him drink for free these days i saddled up beside him and he remembered me you re the fella from fort worth who liked my stories he says yep that s me i reply mister gullible but interested enough to listen and use what he tells me even though much of it is a tall tale and i do know something about that genre i ask the bartender to bring sonny two beers on me he appears to have had more than a few already but i can sense he is ready to orate a few of his tales it s then that i notice he is wearing a black patch over his left ear and his left arm is missing his shirt sleeve is held in place at the shoulder by a safety pin and there is a large area of his scalp on the left side that is bare of hair the poor man looks like a wreck so i ask if he was in a car accident he drinks his beer in one gulp lights his third cigarette and i can sense he is going to explain his ghastly appearance momo is sitting under a canopy enjoying a beer texting and taking a few pictures a light rain has started to fall sonny wastes no time and begins his story he speaks in between deep draws of his cigarette and swigs of his fourth beer back about a year ago i was driving on the highway over by el cosmico you know that bunch of hippies from austin that live in those tents and trailers there was this 1960s fairlane station wagon with the hood up spewing steam and a family standing by the side of the highway so i stopped to help the man said they were from minnesota and were looking to set up camp in the desert but couldn t afford to rent a space in el cosmico they were a ragged looking bunch three kids all wearing boxer shorts and sneakers long hair with fishing lures woven into it the wife who called herself sassy was cute but kind of a smart ass the guy tiberius was really nice i told them there s an old abandoned campground about ten miles out that might fit their need and it has a little pond the kids can swim in after i put some water in their radiator they followed me to the spot which is way out yonder in the desert when we got there they were excited to see a few yurts that were still livable so after i got rid of the rattlesnakes they moved right in it was getting dark so they asked me to stay for supper and spend the night i had a cooler full of beer and they fixed up some beans and weiners and sat around the campfire swapping stories that s when i told them about the toxic killer chihuahuas that roamed the desert at night and that s why i have a wooden leg cause they chewed the other one off they thought i was full of crap and got a big hoot over my story which was really a warning this place ain t safe at night they laughed so hard the wife wet her shorts and they thought i was telling a tall tale around midnight we all said goodnight and hit the hay i ordered him two more beers and a fresh pack of cigarettes and he continued i was sleeping in my truck and during the night i had to pee so i hobbled a few feet away from the truck because at night i take my wooden leg off to give my stump a rest that s when the little demon chiuauas jumped me they had been hiding under the pickup waiting for me the little demons got me down chewed off my left ear and most of my left arm and took a good part of my scalp and hair which was sparse already the family woke up after the attack piled me in the car and drove me to the hospital over in alpine and the doc saved my life cut off the rest of my arm and sewed up what was left of my ear and scalp i was there for a week or so and when i returned to marfa the family had packed up and gone back to minnesota they were too weird for me anyway i looked at the bartender and he gave me a smile and a nod as if to say it s all true share this share on x opens
