william bryan massey III, mike watt

two men of words 'n' music i dig and respect who were born in the same yr as me: poet-sculptor-drummer-spoken word artist william bryan massey III and muso-raconteur-diarist mike watt.

i was invited to a party/jam at massey's place out in aledo last friday but had to chump out due to previous commitments w/my sweetie and my reluctance to drive 15 miles to get garrruuunnnk. looks like i missed a big time, tho, from these pixxx -- just _look_ at the meat he was using to make his chili -- and i'm determined to make it out there for the next throwdown. massey and his boy motel todd are prolly performin' at experience the art as i type this. damn.

while web surfin' last night, i discovered that i was actually written about in one of watt's tour diaries -- specifically the one for the "more light" tour he did with j. mascis and the fog back in 2001 (just peep the last graf in the entry for saturday, april 21 in dallas). makes me doubly disappointed to be missing the we jam econo doco screening in denton tonight.
