David James today at The Mitch


Congrats to David James of San Francisco and Oakland for his song cycle based on his father the Rev. Jesse James, an activist and anti-hero from the 1960s and early 1970s in San Francisco, the Mission.

I don’t have time to say much more. Load in is in 30 minutes.

Stopped by Coupa for a smoodie sic and some Joe.

I am wearing #25 Richard Sherman not #16 Joe because Richard Sherman was the Rev. Jesse James of Stanford flawed gridiron heroes. I knew Richard as a nice young man, respectful, signed autographs for the kids on the field — the thing about “Crabtree he a PUNK’ was just code switching.

I forget if Richard Sherman knew Buddy Teevens. I am dedicating the show to Buddy. Knew him slightly.

David James has a great band including Beth Custer, voice and clarinet, Keith Lawrence viola – -who I am entrusting my miracle Mauve Cannon Canon — Al Williams from Drone ‘N” Bone on bone, John Hanes engorged with beats, sister Lisa M dial m for riddam. God damn. even on Yum kippur — they are calling my name at the cafe bar.

See you at 2. Thanks to Heather Zimmerman, Andrew Gilbert, Chuy Varela. Media is dead but it makes a good epitaph.

This is the type of stylized revolution earthwise was founded on. Also: good bye Jerry Mander. In the absence of the sacred was seminal, and yes I will claim up after my revolution. Dance. Dance Dance.

shout out to Mike Gough of MJF for feeding Ambrose and Sco.

next eight or so shows
