Gavin asked me to write something for this photo*. And I did. And then I got rid of it. Not out of laziness or a sense of pride but because the more I look at this photo, the more it speaks for itself. Just look at it! It’s all there; pathos, humility, tragedy, reserved optimism. This is America. Though it’s other places too. And this is right now, although this is how it’s always been.

*The photo appeared in The USA Today newspaper in the Money section accompanying an article entitled “Financial Spotlight”. God could not have come up for a more appropriate last line in the caption.

    Are you kidding! That’s a goddamned time machine Ron’s sitting in front of. Do you really think he’s gonna tell his wife he’s going out to the garage to go back in time to increase the seminal stomach contents of Rod Stewart. I don’t think so. Put yourself in his tassel loafers. Look, there’s two wires leading to the “fountain”. One drives the water pump, and the other runs the smoke machine. That third (grounded) wire that he’s tried to hide under the glass dome goes straight to the flux capacitor or dylithium crystal, or whatever the fuck drives this thing.

Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

“Wiggers” is a mean word that stings like a motherfucker but, somehow, “Bonkies” doesn’t pack the same wallop.

Pulling back your sleeve to show your tattoos seems queer but that’s what tattoos are: accessories.

You may have noticed there’s a lot of music industry chicks at SXSW all dressed up with no interest in you whatsoever. You may have also noticed you’re not in a band.
