[00:08.81]It's new year's day in New Orleans
[00:11.79]And I'm walking to the river with the girl of my dreams
[00:15.81]And we're walking I have thoughts I'm not sure others have
[00:19.59]Like how the most underrated actor in the world is Steve Railsback
[00:23.68]
[00:24.89]Who played Manson in Helter Skelter and who played ed gein
[00:28.34]
[00:29.06]He's been in a few rob zombie films too I'm pretty sure I think
[00:32.19]Yesterday we were hanging round the swamp and I was thinking about the new year
[00:35.14]And what I'm gonna do
[00:36.12]And I thought about the movie southern comfort with Keith Carradine Fred ward peter coyote
[00:39.76]And powers Boothe
[00:41.09]And the slide guitar soundtrack of Ry Cooder
[00:44.11]And how powers boothe could've played vincent bugliosi in the movie Helter Skelter Manson's famous
[00:47.90]Prosecutor
[00:48.38]
[00:49.19]I could've pursued acting or maybe been one of those soundtrack guys
[00:52.71]But I'm a songwriter I write songs in my car until the day I die
[00:57.14]I write songs that make people laugh cry happy
[01:00.53]And songs that make grown man sh*t their pants like little f**king babies
[01:04.87]
[01:05.42]Songs about lazy little cats sleeping on nice warm porches
[01:09.36]'Bout pitbulls howling in cages in police stations
[01:11.73]While the cops process the pimp dog owner
[01:13.76]
[02:20.29]The first chapter of a book about Maurice ravel
[02:24.42]He's born a few years after my home was built
[02:26.85]And that's put me in a spell
[02:28.90]
[02:29.52]Thinking about Marx Freud and Einstein in the late 19th century
[02:33.85]And we start to doze off in the afternoon because we were feeling pretty sleepy
[02:38.05]
[02:38.68]From all of that good rich southern food that we ate
[02:42.81]Toasted grit salmon creme fraiche and mala shrimp and fried catfish plates
[02:47.28]
[02:56.69]Last night we watched fireworks along the Mississippi
[03:01.41]I got a call from my friend in Tennessee it was her grandmother's
[03:04.33]97th birthday
[03:06.04]She's the closest thing to a grandmother that I've ever had
[03:10.30]She makes oyster stuffing every Thanksgiving
[03:12.76]But the last time that I had it I was sleeping in her basement
[03:16.75]In 1990 reading riders on the storm
[03:19.00]I was obsessed with the doors
[03:20.19]But didn't care for the perspective of John Densmore
[03:23.09]
[03:33.65]This past Christmas day my dad's friend Dan Engelberg died
[03:37.30]
[03:38.04]In a hospital bed at the age of 99
[03:41.95]
[03:42.61]Weeks away from turning 100
[03:45.68]
[03:46.29]The Saturday before he talked to my dad and said he was ready to go
[03:50.66]
[03:51.34]That he loved my dad and that he was one of the best friends
[03:54.56]He's ever had
[03:55.76]I called my dad Christmas night he was quiet and said
[03:58.60]It hadn't quite hit him yet
[03:59.96]
[04:09.44]I talked to my friend last night
[04:10.82]
[04:11.52]She was at home with the shingles
[04:13.18]
[04:13.94]All alone on new years' eve
[04:15.92]Someone else was watching her children
[04:18.29]She's not well enough to handle them by herself these days
[04:22.29]She's tuning out watching true detective on DVD
[04:26.40]
[04:27.26]And right now me and my girl are gonna go find a place to eat
[04:31.37]Try to dodge the drunken fans of the Ohio and Alabama college football teams
[04:35.85]Playing at the superdome right now as I write
[04:39.90]
[04:40.61]It's hard getting out of this big soft bed tonight
[04:43.95]
[05:02.07]Just back from saint Charles tavern where they're blasting the game
[05:05.96]She had bread pudding and I had chocolate chip pancakes
[05:10.02]She was talking about adopting a dog or a cat
[05:14.25]I keep talking about which guitars I'm gonna bring to Japan
[05:17.54]
[05:18.20]When I finally go to sleep I hope to have a nice dream
[05:22.20]About my old Kitty cat sniffing at the Christmas tree
[05:26.35]Not a nightmare where I'm lost in a Malaysian sea
[05:30.29]Snakehead fishes tearing me apart with their nasty teeth
[05:34.48]You never know if it's gonna be a good or a bad dream
[05:38.45]But nothing beats falling asleep to the sound of the streetcar in New Orleans
[05:42.21]
[06:00.01]And I dreamed that it was 1978
[06:02.78]
[06:04.50]I lived in central city and it was a warm autumn day
[06:08.61]
[06:09.23]And me and my friends would see Ali Spinks 2 at the dome
[06:13.66]Walked back to someone s house so excited about the fight of the decade
[06:17.32]In New Orleans
[06:18.16]And we laughed all night on the muggy front porch til the sun came up
[06:22.14]The dream cut to the back bedroom of a shotgun style house
[06:26.64]
[06:27.40]I was looking around the room and the walls were purple and gold
[06:31.33]
[06:31.85]The radio was on it was January 2nd I picked up a guitar that
[06:35.53]I bought at a pawn shop
