phat in Lincoln:

@Franco Twinkie you're telling me. I didn't know him well, but there was a big sort of thing for him on hipsters in the 90s, when I was in my 20s. The funny thing was, I had asked my mom, who loved biographies, what her favorite biographies was and she had said, My Dark Places. I regret never asking her what she enjoyed about it after I read it. My mom was not known for her fascination with that kind of strangeness.

Thanks Butterman! I have a house in a neighborhood full of fruit trees. And I, for the grace of god and supportive loving parents didn't wind up in the street.

RevRab: Ahbez started in the 1940s but was writing songs into the 1970s. His Eden's Island LP came out in 1960, and BW was definitely familiar with it.
