"What we professional liars hope to serve is truth. I'm afraid the pompous word for that is "art". "

Our works in stone, in paint, in print, are spared, some of them, for a few decades or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall in war, or wear away into the ultimate and universal ash - the triumphs, the frauds, the treasures and the fakes. A fact of life: we're going to die. "Be of good heart," cry the dead artists out of the living past. "Our songs will all be silenced, but what of it? Go on singing." Maybe a man's name doesn't matter all that much.

+I remember him stooping so low as to advertise for Ernest and Julio Gallo in the '70s. But it was art, because it made for a playa-ready joke:

"Here at Oscar Mayer bacon, we sell no swine before its time....."

Enjoy. If you're very lucky, you might get a BRC Division of Geology t-shirt this year. Below the emblem reads the phrase, "We rock your fuckin' world......" . I told you last year I was getting them made. Being a geologist and all, as the real"rockstar"...blah, blah,blah..........

Miss you, and see you on-playa. Will be at Rue Morgue.
