Between me, and whoever is reading this. While I do want to return to research, and while I'd like the idea of it. There's something still preventing me from doing it.

Maybe it's because I used it as a distraction, so it's no longer my coping mechainsm. Maybe it's because I picked up more trauma while doing research. Maybe that's all just excuses and I'm just lazy.

I will say one thing, though. I was re-reading my little movie review about John's movie, The Pride of Jesse Hallum. I wrote: "It's a great movie, though, I probably have a biased opinion because I more or less think everything, John, Carl, Roy, and Jerry Lee do is great." Alibet, I had exceptions, but I sorta wish I still had the same enthusiam that I had back then.

Whatever love I had for them has definitely changed, from one of rose-tinted glasses to cynicism.

It's hard to write about people, in a favorable light, when you don't like them as people. If that makes sense.

A part of me wishes I could go in on them, but there's the other issue. Carl, John, Roy, and Jerry Lee, have some zealot fans, which I've met the ire of before. Threats. Hate and inappropriate mesages. I just don't know if it's worth risking my own safety or mental health, writing about four men I question why I liked in the first place.

So, there's that.

I just hate how big of hypocrits each one of them were, big old liars, and how they pretended not to be. It's one thing to admire someone's musical talents, but I'm not sure if people should admire their negative traits or pretend they didn't exist.

Like, I still admire John's activistism, I think he said some wise things, I took to heart. But there's also the things I dislike, that I feel should be challenged, like his 'Ragged Old Flag,' threatening to shoot someone with a gun "full of love," for burning the flag. Literally right after Kris Kristopherson sang "Johnny Lobo," a song about Native American activist John Trudell, who burned the flag.

Basically, what I'm getting at is, pointing out negative things a dead person did, a long time ago isn't "cancling" them. It's just a "the fuck, John."

I mean, Carl, John, Roy, and Jerry Lee lived their entire lives trying to get out of Elvis' shadow. None ever really achiving the level of super stardom Elvis had, maybe John, maybe Roy, but still. If Elvis isn't above the same critism or "the fuck, Elvis," type of examination. Then how on earth are Carl, John, Roy, and Jerry Lee above it?

But whatever, all thoughts into the void. Between me, and whoever is reading this.

Yesterday I had a fun skate session at the Big O with a couple of artist friends visiting from Hamilton @scottanddestroy n @burnttoastcreative . We also spray painted the pipe a lil bit so I dropped a #Galaktic dude and then skated over it.

“Yes” Roy said, “I suppose I have a feeling for the aristocratic way of life, and to have been in Berlin and Paris in the ‘20s would have been my cup of tea.”

So, like I was looking through my drafts and found this quote. I don’t know what I was doing “Oct 15th, 2015″ but I guess, I was planning on using this for a post and just didn’t. 🤣

From John’s first TV Christmas special, that aired Dec 25, 1970, on “The Johnny Cash Show.’ [Titled ’'The Johnny Cash Christmas Show,” EP13 - S2] / ABC Archives, Getty.

Featuring the famous three, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins & Johnny Cash.

Those three were pretty great friends, Roy was John’s neighbor, Carl traveled with John since 1965, Carl and Roy were always sweet to each other – And all three had the best facial expressions, as seen in the last picture.

After the “John Crachit” skit was over, the singing segment began, which was in a replica set of John’s Henderson home, circle living room. John explained, to those present for the special, of his and June’s tradition: “Welcome to our house, after supper at our house, everybody has to sing for their supper.” Imagine that, being invited to eat and having to sing for it, must’ve been fun, especially around Christmas.

Seems the special is in pieces on Youtube, but can still be found easily, perfect for Christmas, I recommend watching it.

Happy Valentines! • Song Valentines for 2019.

“1 thot, 2 thot, red thot, blue thot” – I love that edit thooo… Every year, I barely continue the self-imposed tradition of making these, this year came close to not happening. My anxiety’s been bad but I’ll be okay, I’m working through it, this time I have support and that makes a difference, also good people in my life – One, in particular, I’d like to send one of these too, but oh well, I’m not good with stuff like that.

Hope you had a great Valentines day!

Johnny Cash -- ‘I Walk The Line.’ Roy Orbison -- 'You’re My Baby.’ Carl Perkins -- ‘Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby.’ Jerry Lee Lewis -- ‘Crazy Arms.’
