My music is coming with me
when i die
my poems, words
they will come with me
when i cry
my mother, god
they come and lift me
when i sigh
my girl, world
have come and kissed me
my music’s coming with me
i can write it into existence
i can make it vanish in a snap
i can twist it, bend it, lift, suspend it
mend it, send it back
when i long
then my stars
make it so
when ‘im wrong
then it’s ours
this ancient poem
if i’m strong
in the hour
of the great unknown
then my music will come with me
i can write it into existence
i can make it vanish in a snap
i can twist it, bend it, lift, suspend it
mend it, send it back

Former Roadie Claims Jimi Hendrix Was Murdered
Was Jimi Hendrix murdered? That’s the assertion laid out in a new book by a former roadie for the legendary guitarist.
As reported by the U.K.’s Daily Mail, James “Tappy” Wright maintains in his book, Rock Roadie, that Hendrix was killed as part of an insurance scam.
According to Wright, Hendrix’s manager, Michael Jeffrey, drunkenly confessed to murdering the guitarist by filling him full with pills and several bottles of red wine. Wright says Jeffrey made the confession in 1971, one year after Hendrix’s death, saying he had taken out a life insurance policy on the guitarist that was worth approximately $2 million, naming himself as beneficiary.
“I had to do it, Tappy,” Wright quotes Jeffrey as saying. “You understand, don’t you? I had to do it. You know damn well what I’m talking about.”
Wright further quotes Jeffrey: “I was in London the night of Jimi’s death and together with some old friends … we went round to Monika’s hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth … then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe.”
Wright goes on to say Jeffrey was fearful that Hendrix was preparing to strike a deal with a new manager, when the contract between Hendrix and himself expired in December 1970.
“That son of a bitch was going to leave me,” Jeffrey is quoted as saying. “If I lost him, I’d lose everything.” [source]

Los Angeles, CA – July28, 2009

Surviving without money
As part of my daily routine, I was Stumbling along the interwebs and came across an inspirational article about a 48 year old man named Suelo. Suelo lives in the Utah desert with no money, house, or income. Living off the land is second nature to this guy. He drinks tea made from Juniper leaves and chefs up roadkill, lizards and wild onions. The best part of this article was a quote from Suelo:
“I’ll do what creatures have been doing for millions of years for retirement,” he says. “Why is it sad that I die in the canyon and not in the geriatric ward well-insured? I have great faith in the power of natural selection. And one day, I will be selected out.” Until then, think of him like the raven, cleaning up the carcasses the rest of us leave behind. [Style.com]

I’d love to hear what you guys think about this.
