We from Texas, y'all. Every great band is on MySpace these days. Yesterday we were chatting with Brian Eno about touring Uganda together. I think he said, "No fucking way." I remember this time we were hanging out at Sardi's, enjoying monkey pate served in a conch. Lee Majors waltzes through the door and Truman says to me, "Here comes the Six Million Dollar mumbler." And up walks Lee and says "Oh, hey fellas and such." Tru sipped his Mai Tai and asked what kind of fur he was wearing. "Sasquatch," he said. Weird.

Here's to cerebral explosions and euphoric manifestations.
so earlier today i sat on a plane soaring into the sunset, and i was listening to Grandma Airplane.
a rather moving experience.
it's just so compelling, listening to that album - it's like floyd's "any colour you like" - the entire album is fucking sick, but the whole time i'm just waiting for that song. a beautiful highlight.
