That Sticky Icky
A while back I was having some issues with my PTSD in that I kept having panic wake ups. One was so bad that I kicked the bedroom door down. Its a scary thing but my wife always seems to sleep through this shit. Anyway, my therapist asked me how I stayed calm during the day and I told him that I smoke weed. That keeps me calm and in a peace time frame of mind. Anyway, she told me that I should have a good smoke before I crash out and that it may help to keep me calm when I am not conscious. Unfortunately, when I am sleep I see the VC all the time. I feel them creeping up on me and ready to pounce. I know its crazy but I can't get it out of my head. The VC are everywhere in my head. They are coming for me.
Anyway, recently I did as my therapist suggested and I slept like a baby all night. What a great thing it is to be able to sleep without fear. They tried giving me sedatives and shit like that but it only made me crave the Heroine I used to be addicted to. Zolpidem knocks me out but I still have panic wake ups. Damn, I don't know what I would do if not for that Sticky Icky shit I smoke. Lord knows I cant afford to keep repairing doors and shit. Plus, my fists are not what they use to be. my shit aches like hell now. I busted my middle knuckle on the dresser on night. Thought I was fighting off the VC who had invaded my neighborhood. Its always the same. Either VC or Koreans or coming at me. I'm Probably damaged from one too many battles. That Sticky Icky keeps me calm and sedate though. I am no longer a danger to myself or others.. Well, unless provoked that is, I do have a propensity to go into battle mode if provoked. I don't want to hurt nobody and I definitely don't want nobody to hurt me. So I vape and watch the world pass me by in beautiful colors. That Sticky Icky has saved a lot of lives from me. People are always harping on going to war. People, for some of us, your wars will never end. For some of us the war becomes a constant battle in our minds. Fuck War! It Sucks Man. Long live that Sticky Icky Shit!

Stoneman, My Brother.
Sir, I will not only take a bullet for a man like you.
I will happily die, and rise up from the dead
(I'm really annoying like that, you wouldn't believe it, well you're deep, you might)
to take another one for you.
Long Live The Sticky Icky Indeed.
Sadly, I had to quit pot.
Can you imagine? NO, do not imagine, you'll get a headache
just thinkin' 'bout it, man.
Bad bad news, don't even go there, I'm serious.
I may have to, Thank God You Do Not.
May God Keep You In All The Sticky Icky You Ever Could Possibly Want,
Need, Or Desire, Sir.
And please, spark one of them babies up for me.
I can only enjoy it vicariously now.
Well you know what they say,
When The Going Gets Weird,
The Weird Go Professional.
Film at 11.
Stay Tuned.
Hail Hail Rock N Roll.
Indie Music People.com IS The Best,
(no matter what the fartheads may say!)

Hey. I hope one of us is getting some rest.
I was up early, but so were you.
Folks were saying you should write a book or something,
based on your life. You know, that isn't a half bad idea...
I'm actually a fairly decent writer, well so are you,
and eloquent as bojangles you are... you should go for it,
if you want some help with it, I am more than happy to help you,
I am proud and damn glad to help you. This me:
musicmanager2001@yahoo.com
... just put something on the subject line lets me know it's you,
From Stoneman, or something, at least till I recognize your email.
Okay, so check this out.
Ever since this morning, I've been working on that song I mentioned
was in the air, and you could feel it too? Yeah, worked like mad dog on a mission.
Just when I was saying to you, 'bout how I wish I had a song,
that you could cover, which would be worth of your talents,
I thought of, well it was basically an unfinished bit of song,
I'd come up with a while ago... I had a chorus, pretty good chorus,
but it never came together right. Then once I mentioned a song to you,
I began getting a whole mental picture of how it's supposed to go.
It sounded good too. So, since this morning, and I got up at four a.m.
so I am the walking dead by now, well, as of an hour or so ago
I finished it... This, I can say, is a song worthy of Stoneman.
You are more than welcome to cover it.
I'll put it out tomorrow morning. I gotta go out with my friend and deliver
a hamburger to her nephew in the nursing home, and some potato salad,
I made both, I'm a damn good cook. Then I'll get back, fall dead on
the bed till it's time for supper. I'll damn sure get my ass up for that,
no matter how damned dead I am. I cooked 'em this morning,
the burgers. All I could do not to tear into that thing. "you wanna have no dinner?"
I asked myself, which worked. I made a face and put 'em in the fridge.
The song, originally, was called simply "Sandman",
ironically, that's not that far from Stoneman, when you think about it,
and I did not know you then, when I first got the chorus idea...
Anyway, now, I am calling it "Theme From SANDMAN"
...like, I think I envisioned, like, it's a movie, well doesn't exist yet,
but it could, you could call the character in your book that, Sandman.
Just an idea, you don't have to, but for some reason,
I felt compelled to call the song "Theme From SANDMAN"
as though it were a movie, and this, well, was the themesong
at the beginning of the movie.
And it sounds like a hit too.
I did the absolute best I could with it,
worked, I am not kidding, like a mad MFing dog on a goddamn mission,
I ain't gettin' it no better than this.
You could however.
And you are more than welcome to.
Thanks for inspiring me, to make a really great record,
because I am pretty sure it is one. You tell me, when you hear it
what you think. I am curious. It's going through my head that's for sure.
Much Love & Respect,
~L
