Eazy E tee or sweatshirt bought at Nordstrom — I don’t listen to N-words With Attitude, NWA nor did I really see or listen to either the movie or the documentary about them, but I couldn’t resist buying at Nordstro a gray garment “straight off the streets of compton” or Palo Alto or Stanford, but sales tax remit Palo Altans, though the university has a $30B billion endowment and another $18B worth of leases at their industrial park, which is now mostly video games not military industrial complex although some they say these devices are all part of a war, on class, or will be comandeered when the time comes, to keep us in line and separate the thinkers from the dutiful zombies. Feel me?- Ezel — Gwen of Letter Perfect sold me a deck of flashcards with info on the history of the language, the mother tongue as it were. And it was. So “Ezel” is a horse and from that we get easel. I will cross check this with both my Webster’s, Ninth and Eleventh.
- Tree. As in Stanford unofficial mascot. And not the Cardinal color nor the Cardinals bird – -not even in Indian summer; it was 59 degrees farenheit when i got up and then in the high 70s and Mike from St. Mikes told me not to say that phrase. But what replaces it?
- Tree — I bought a white cap at Stanford driving range gift show and “Fran” I think said apologetically “I’m going to have to charge you $50 for this cap?!” and I said “Stanford has a $30b endowment with a “B” and another $18B in leases, that’s why I moved here” which is a lie – when I moved here in 1974 the endowment was in the millions not billiions. But I meant I think its good if caps are $50 that means I can charge more for my goods and services.
- Like my free concert coming up in about 31 hours at Lytton Plaza with Hawktail, Taylor Goss, Tommy Jordan’s Service Human, A Very Special and Surprise Guest, Jacob Savage and a Mexican-Greek American singer who can really bring it, like Janis even when doing Norah named Anna; maybe another special guest doing Frank Turner “reasons for being an idiot”
