    “MY HEROES ARE ALL OFF IN THE GREAT BEYOND”
    –from Chesnutt’s 1992 song “Lucinda Williams,” on the record West of Rome

    Anyone who has heard “Seeing Black” live this late summer will pause a moment at this line.

    By the way, any nominees for Best Rhyming Couplet from West of Rome? I’m pretty partial toward “Pakistanis””greasy greasy Grannies,” but perhaps “paragonLouis Farrakhan” tops it.

    “HAL WILLNER HAS SAID THAT IT [WEST OF ROME]IS ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDING RECORDS EVER.”
    –from the liner notes to the 2004 reissue of West of Rome

    Love Vic.

    I love “Supernatural”. Have you heard “Cowboy Junkies” version?

    built a king on compliments
    charisma and advertisements
    still they see him shimmer ephemeral
    it ain’t supernatural
    or maybe

    out of body experience
    I flew around the little room once
    on intravenous Demerol
    it weren’t supernatural

    sudden smell..certain view
    sparks a whoppin’ case of the dejavu
    is it inexplicable
    it ain’t supernatural
    or maybe
