The Monarch, Name Dropping, Horn Tooting, Rehash.

Dancing on a coffee table at 18 in the nude but for a single wool sock, swaying about to the rock music with Lynne eyeing me, shades on, cheering me on.

“The Boys in the Buff” was coined by my drummer friend Alex Schnobb, the AR Art Director 2022-2027 for Star Trek STRANGE NEW WORLDS.

The idea to party this way came from the stage performance of The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Mother’s Milk rules! Way better than their newer stuff some I find for my excitable loving nature. Different guitarist. Dave Navarro is Fing BRILLIANT! Jane’s Addiction???? UNREAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!! THE BEST!!!!!!!!

John Frusciante really kicked it though on that album!

Behind the Sun is a great song too!

So, Pretty Little Ditty is cool to play, I performed it at Ashbury College where I was shown a pic of Tom Cruise on a sports team. He grew up a bit here in Ottawa, Beacon Hill.

Sandra Oh who stars in killer TV shows is Korean and was born in Nepean, Ottawa too. She’s a class act!

The Boring Company should come here and dig a few east/west AND north/south under the KIchi Zibi Mikan. Come on Elon! The bridges get backed up.

So, Crazy Town tapped Pretty Little Ditty and made this wicked hit Butterfly!

When I was a tike at the end of Walabet road in the thick crazy woods of Quebec near Shawville, I was often playing at the beach part of the bay and there there were many many milk plants, thick leaves with viscous white goo inside, monarch caterpillars would be feeding hungrily, fascinating and gross. This is the host plant of the monarch caterpillar, they feed exclusively on milkweed.

So these can travel 50-100 plus miles a day. They arrive in Mexico around the same time as the Day of the Dead, in early November. Winter is spent there, then they start to head back to the beautiful U.S.A. in March.

I once walked from Vanier to St-Isidore. I had a girlfriend’s mom who had a house there with her hubby. We really used to kick it hard me and my gal.!!😃

But, anyways, along the way on THIS WALK, I grabbed a walking stick and trudged along in my super unstoppable health, I’m strong yo! 74 kms, it took a day a night plus plus. I was singing, I was Buddhist, Free Free Free!!! Weird was there were passed out monarch butterflies all over the place, I feel bad still today, I’m crying a bit. SO, I would stop, clasp my hands and bless their little wings and bodies because, well, they were dead.🙃

LOL!

Was this a fun ride?

Please have a great healthy safe time out there!!!!

LOVE!!!!!!!

To a Butterfly”
  Stay near me—do not take thy flight!
  A little longer stay in sight!
  Much converse do I find in Thee,
  Historian of my Infancy!
  Float near me; do not yet depart!
  Dead times revive in thee:
  Thou bring’st, gay Creature as thou art!
  A solemn image to my heart,
  My Father’s Family!

  Oh! pleasant, pleasant were the days,
  The time, when in our childish plays
  My sister Emmeline and I
  Together chased the Butterfly!
  A very hunter did I rush
  Upon the prey:—with leaps and springs
  I follow’d on from brake to bush;
  But She, God love her! feared to brush
  The dust from off its wings.

William Wordsworth 1802

“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days — three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”
John Keats
