    Damn. You know, I wuz in
    a hills a West Ver-Gin-I-A for most a thuh Chrissmus season hangin out with my
    folks n my buds, getting high, drankin and sleepin and forgettin about all duh
    bullshit that gets in my hed frum ridin dem subwuays and dealin with all m
    assholes in New York only to cum back up here needin sumthin to write about for
    iss here art magazine.

     

    I ain’t had no
    ideas. Not fer quite sum time. An’a course I put it off till the last minit.
    Ain’t seen no good art neither cuz assept dem hills (boy dem hills shore is
    purty.) thay just ain’t got nun uh dat FINE ART down der in the South. So I
    went up to old fancy pants land in Chelsea to see whut I could turn up to make
    fun of and I ran into this killer show at Rare Gallery.

     

    It wus
    fuuuuuuked up dude! I saw them pitures by Jim Wright and dey wus coo man. I
    mean really coo man. Ya’ll gotta check iss shit out.

     

    Der was a
    house paintin what looked juss like uh house out old Four Pole Creek Road! Like
    on da Adkins propurty! Near Barboursville you know! It was called "And the
    Fields Have Turned Brown" Cuz they do man! In duh fall them fields up and
    turn brown! I ain’t never seen home look so good! Sheeit.

     

    Anyways, I
    really liked dat piture. But he made a cooler one of them Ghost Busters catchin
    them ghost Amps over top of that black metal guy split in half on the floor of
    that livin room. Reminded me of that time Me n ol Rob and Les took all at acid
    and watched them stars floatin all over the livin room in JU-ly. It was just
    like them little KISS heads floatin’ all around them Ghost catchin streams in
    at pitchur. Shit.

     

    But I tell you
    what really got me rememberin all the SY-Coe-Dellic drugs I took was that
    paintin "Fuzz Love in The Tub". Shit, all them purty colors sprayin
    out a that rock show and every single one a them people in duh audience was in
    n old barrel hot tub. Like they wus floatin down the O-High-O River only it wuz
    made of colurs. Damn that shit was good. I bet ‘dem people wus havin fun at
    night.

     

    I feel bad for
    yall if yall missed it. I feel good for ya’ll who saw it. And if yall didn’t
    like it at all then yall just need a vacation in the woods near where I was
    raised up an’ you’ll understand juss how cool it can be to smoke a joint, go to
    a concert and afterwards do it to a purty country girl while you watch
    Ghostbusters in a trailer in Boone County. Hey! at’s just whut dat show made me
    thank of. I ain’t tryin to be onery er nuthin. Juss honest.

     

    I heard Ole
    Jim was a right purty music player too. Shit. If he plays at geetar as good as
    he makes dem paintin’s hes gonna be a country music star just like ol Skynerd
    or Hank Williams.

    Good job dude.
    At’s all… Later.
