    I've Been Loving You Too Long
well, eleven years ago today i got married. somehow i have managed to keep it together. this one goes out to my beloved ball and chain.we watched the hotory of STAX records together on "Great Performances":http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/shows/stax/index.html the other night, and i had to shed a tear when Otis Redding's story was told. he was THE man! i love his music deeply, and i think the shared love for otis is one of the common threads my wife and i share musically. really, we have totally divergent likes in music, but our tastes criss cross where it counts. thanks baby, for eleven great ears. i mean years. she knows me so well. she gave me these...best of wilson pickett (another great stax artist!) and "please kill me" the oral history of punk.

  5. Augusts1 says Left arm, heh. Congrats LOK, that's a long ass time to be with anyone. My longest romantic relationship was 6 years 4 months. I was shocked! Here's to many more for you & your wife. Btw, I'm down in Sonoma County, not too far from Humboldt.

  7. contrabandwidth says PKM is one of my favorite books of all time. It is how oral histories should be written. It got me into the New York Punk scene more than anything else, and made me look for the records for years. I need to read it again. Congrats on your anniversary! That Wilson Pickett looks great too!
