Eat it...Eat it Raw!

After more than half a century as a vegetarian, I'm trying something new. My daughter is a life-long vegetarian & several years back she went vegan. She's always giving me the business about it. We used to dine at a raw joint called The Green Boheme (they recently moved to Roseville & we haven't made it to their new location). They always challenged everyone to go raw for a month. Well, I decided I'd one up Lao & go raw.

Now, I'm a Taurus & as bull-headed as they come, so sticking to something I start is no big deal. But man oh man…all I do now-a-days is dream about food, whether I'm awake or sleeping. Now it's started creeping into my musick. See what you think of RAW!!!

He Played Wire Guitar

I don't know how your abcdetical lists go, but mine goes like this. Bill (Nelson), Bruce (Gilbert), The Bug…all are listed under B. None of that Dylan, Bob stuff. So William S. Burroughs isn't B, he's W. Nothing with 'The' is in T (except The The). It all works out well, especially now. Music for Fruit right after The Banana Splits.
