| I once believed only free-thinkers at the top of the emotional pyramid could understand Newbury. My mistake. My arrogance. The truth is… only the meek buried beneath the full weight of the pyramids can get the man. |

"It's really hard trying to explain (Mickey's music). I can't call it 'explain,' but I'd tried to tell Jeanene about the sound of Mickey's voice and the guitar on a good night at the same time. It's hard; you can't do it. It's like from outer space. I've heard about people trying to explain a color to a blind person... there's no way to do it."
-Townes Van Zandt, No Depression magazine, March-April'97.

Love you, Joe. Looking forward to number 2.
PS: ...it's like from outer space...

Susie or Joe or "anyone" who knew him well.
Was there ever anyone that Mickey dreamed about singing with .. To just pull up a chair and "sing along with him" ..

Mickey loved the singing of Roy Orbison and Eva Cassidy. But if I were to guess about Mick "dreaming" of singing with another artist, my money would be on Stephen Foster.
Hey, Ro. Love you too.

I would agree with Joe.
Mickey saw no difference in time or place, the world was inter-changeable.

All because ...
Inquiring minds knead da dough, y'know! cuz ... 'the Future's Not' ... |

A shared commonality. Now is then, then is now. Not much different than Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five". Memory is the deciding factor.

Stories from the porous border. On the tiny Juliette balcony he pauses with his brush mid-air. Steps away from the canvas and the blue harbor fading in sunlight. Not all at once but in patches. God's Eyes and Guadalupe Virgins. Nodding in Mercado windows when a
trio of Mariachis stroll by. There's his half-mast eyes and lit cigarette. His granite-heavy hair. His gaze so grave. Her smile so free and brazen. Palm trees exploding above the Boulevard's neon pop and sizzle. A crowd of wings on the wire waiting for the light to turn green. |

| There's a sea scent that drifts through these rooms in the evening. A fragrant wind solo. A perfume the pillows hold onto. And the star-bright sheets they sleep on. Further down the coast the water slides out and slides in. |

| He wakes up with the sheets on fire. Adam. So reliably alive. Feeding the script through the shredder. Page by coffee-stained page. |

| There's the photograph where his eyes follow her around the room in another city with a landmark bridge and a luminous fog to step into. Another Embarcadero. |

| A season of Sunday weather. White adobe and blue dazzled walls. An open double Dutch door. A freshly painted aquamarine glider where they sit in the evenings overlooking the valley's misty irrigation. Shoulders touching in the starry dark. The friction of their answering hands. |
