johnny woke up. outside it was raining. he wasn't hungry but he got up and got dressed. 
halfway down the stairs he had second thoughts. 
he remembered the old days. were they really any good? 
he looked up and saw fatman. 
it all happened a long time ago. 
johnny started to get hungry. he wanted a candy bar . 
i don't hear you, johnny 
it all started on a rainy day just like this one, in 1973 
take that stuff back to wichita falls 
you don't hear much about wichita falls any more 
or east st louis either 
maybe you don't but i hear about east st louis all the time 
it was a long time ago. empires have fallen, mountains have crumbled, it's a new world now. can't you just forget it? 
you said bad things about me. i can never forgive you. 
remember the farmer in san diego, who tried to sell you his truck? 
what about him? 
nothing, i just wondered if you remembered him? 
still eating those candy bars? 
breakfast, lunch and dinner 
it was nice talking to you. i'm sorry you can't see your way to let bygones be bygones 
me and old jones we just don't get along 
babe oh babe way down in polock town 
police and snitchers they tore my playhouse down 
take me to kirkwood and i'll make st louis all by myself

that is fucking awesome. i loved it. melancholy, strange, and the art is a perfect match. thank you.
thanks jason, glad you liked it.
some of the artwork must be at least 10 years old,
done with an old (original?) macpaint app that is now obsolete and unusable. i can't find anything that gets the same effects.
some of the words are from the recordings "snitchers blues" and "jones law blues" by stump johnson.
welllllll, i'm-a go find me some stump johnson, pronto-like
Randomly strange perfection!
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
I will not agree on it. I assume warm-hearted post. Especially the appellation attracted me to review the intact story.
I wish not agree on it. I regard as precise post. Especially the title attracted me to be familiar with the unscathed story.
Good dispatch and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you for your information.
Easily I acquiesce in but I contemplate the list inform should acquire more info then it has.
mr anonymous, thank you for your interesting and insightful comments. they are very much appreciated.
a colleague of mine has intuited that you are a follower of m derrida. i incline more to the view that you are a disciple of messrs burroughs and gysin, perhaps you are not a follower at all, but a trailblazer?
also, who do you like better, tom mix or thomas mann?
Maybe it's that I'm a bit obsessive, but stuff like this I've just got to follow up...
I've been thinking more about Mr. Anonymous and have a few ideas of the identity of the mystery man...
One thought is that it's a graffiti artist, but one who is interested in quantity rather than quality... like someone on the street may try graf their tag on the wall of every building in a city rather than put up one well crafted mural...
But then, what would be the satisfaction if the name was missing...
So then I thought I'd put a phrase in the search engine... give it a try for yourself... interesting results... sometimes a few words are modified in the overall comment, but the phrase "dispatch and this enter helped me alot in my college" came up with 34 000 results!
Here's a link to another blogger who's encountered this same mystery:
