shoot dangit

sometimes I look around at

the little three piece band that I'm

in and just crack up

we can hang out

or sit in a room

together and be all alone

at the same time

if we want

that's hard to find

we sat in a hotel room

in waco tuesday night

waldo flipping through his

ever mounting array of gadgetry...

skinner staring at his phone...

me picking out 'dream on'

by aerosmith

all in our own little worlds

a few feet from each other

shot a couple of live songs

and an interview yesterday

in austin at one world theater

for ray benson's texas music show

I haven't been in front of a camera

in I don't know how long

never have liked being filmed

HATED making old great divide

videos...and I think it shows

but glancing over at skinner

with his eyes closed,

cardinal jersey on,

thumping holy hell out

that bass

or waldo and his

brilliant bald head

shimmering behind the kit

I couldn't help but

feel a little better about

the whole situation

it was all pretty painless

and the crew was as cool

as you could ask for

adam odor and the guys

from bismeux were taking

care of the sound

hadn't seen adam

in a month of sundays

we both exchanged cd's

that we vowed never

to listen to

actually talked a little

about a tour with his band

11 bones in italy

I'm already ready to go back

as we left the shoot

I couldn't help but thinking

of skinner beaming into

countless living rooms across

the globe

that alone

was worth fighting
