Spider from Powerman 5000, well,  I, uh, um, insulted him to his face.

This is the song that was playing when I came back in.

So let me tell you a story aboutI’m, a Rockstar and a Táltos and why my mouth gets me into and out of trouble.

Pete Conrad was the author I was editing for after I read The Suicide Flowers.  By the way, last book I ever read to this day, more than 15 years ago.

We went to Hollywood,  me doing interviews as The Movie Whore, and Pete working at getting The Suicide Flowers made into a movie. He wrote the book at the same time he wrote the script.

Pete has cousins, Robert and Michael Cummings,  better known as Rob Zombie and Spider from Powerman 5000.

We had dinner at the Italian place next to the Trubadour.

I went out to have a smoke. Spider came outside.  I mentioned I’m from Chico.

Spider got animated. He had a story about the time he almost died in Chico.

I’m a telpath, I knew the punchline already and beat him to it. I was a dick and a half in 5 words.

Since I’ve apologized profusely.  However, the ego that is a Rockstar, hmmm, I don’t think he’ll ever forgive me.

Yeah, he doesn’t want to speak to me ever again.

Oh well.

If you know a Rockstar who wants to be a Khaos Shaman, you know where to send them.
