Ain't this America?
Can't we just get down
With the boys who come around?
You know they wanna mess around?
Ain't this America?
Got the vodka and the juice
We'll be rocking it till two
Send the boys up to our room, room, room.

"Mr. Hardy's Love Songs" (Album Outtake)
Heaven can wait till when I’m ready
Boys like me, well, they rock steady
Steady as it goes, easy does it now
But it’s not easy if time runs out
So here I am, again my friend
Rewriting the novel’s climatic end
And tearing out pages you know that I
Cannot and will not be satisfied
In the courtyards of my mind
Well, I see him there each night
His golden eyes, my bleeding pen
I’m standing at his door again
A barefoot gypsy with no remorse
For riding on this winged horse…
Write me a song, Mr. Hardy
Write me a song so sweet
You may not have the melody
But play me anything.
Write me a song, Mr. Hardy
Like you did the other men
The ones that you won’t discuss
Goodnight and Amen.
Well shame it is a wrinkled dance
You can dance around the chance
That you might find your north star
I found mine in the back of his car
So naive I was and I gave him
The tastes of all my southern whim
And from the apple blossoms he drank in
The useless memories that bleed my skin.
Riding on myth and old charade
I dance a summer promenade
To a scene not far away
Where an old tin roof holds the stars in place
And silence dances to the cadence cries
Of all my sad goodbyes
Write them a song, Mr. Hardy
Write them songs so nice
Lay the cards out on the table
And roll those fucking dice
Write them a song, Mr. Hardy
You sentimental guy
Your intent to fall in love,
Well its dashed, and it has died
All along the orchard row….
There is a fruit which does not grow.
It smells of need
And tastes of want…
It must be the fruit that god forgot.
And I am fruit so blistered sore
Blistered since I was born.
Broken and weary a window waits
For the empty window….
Is my soul mate….
Write me a song, Mr. Hardy
Write me a song brand new
One I’ve never heard before
And I will cherish you…
Write me a song, Mr. Hardy
Cos I’m the one you need
I’ve come to take you away at last
Giddy up, horse, god speed….
Heaven can wait till when I’m done
Tilting my arrow to the sun
Mistakes are made and are forgotten
The smell of you, now it is rotten
That shirt in my closet so stained with sin
Is the shirt that our, our love died in...

The Talk of the Town Mini-Reveal
So, this evening, I had Lindsey over and gave her a little preview of some of the tracks to be included for the upcoming Talk of the Town disc, and I was quite happy with her reaction. Between the visit she and I shared and the phone call I had with Liz this evening, I was pleased with their feedback and their excitement over the songs.
Listening intently as I played and sang along to "Peep Me," "From My Place on the Floor," "Soda Pop," and "Bare Feet," both of them commented that the songs were quite catchy and sounded as if they belonged on the radio!
I think we have a hit here! Stay tuned for more developments as they come to pass. I'm finishing up the last of the songs now, and we will begin recording, mixing, and layering the vocals! Can't wait! Love always, Frankie.

What Wine Won't Cure
So, I'm sitting here on the telephone, talking to yet another random boy, listening to him blah blah blah about what am I doing tonight, and without my trusty glass of wine in hand, I have to say being alert sucks more than losing a potato sack race to the eldest Brady children. Why, oh why, can't I be drunk and subdued? At least if I were tipsy I could fake compassion and humility. I wouldn't be sitting here listening to this guy remember things I never told him.It seems this is the case as of late. I'm not bored. I'm not at all depressed.
On the contrary, I'm actually quite relieved. You see, just before I totally snapped under the pressure of my needy friends, I stole away for a much-needed break to regroup and recenter. Thankfully, I did so only seconds before I pulled a Reba McEntire and blew them all to hell in a sailboat. In the last few months, I've been pulling away because people are starting to irritate me with their bitching, their complaining, and their refusal to adapt and grow from the tragedies and mishaps in their lives. My apathy is choking me. I used to care; I used to care deeply, but now I'm to the point where I feel like telling them all not to take the "Lean on Me," song so goddamn literally.
So between issues with the Apple Dumpling Gang, and the many boys who've swept in and out of my life, emptying their baggage on what's left of my innocence like a Hoover set to reverse, I'm just tired and bogged down. More exahausted than Cher during her bout with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I'm just a sleepy little fag. And although drinking is not the answer, I have to say, I heart sipping on my wine in the cool glow of the midnight hour and mutilating the shaft of my penis with my left hand. It saves me the trouble of having to show this generation's Bo Dukes and Fred Fllinstones how to give a proper blowjob. "Cup your hand around the head. Now take it between your lips slowly...." Fuck that shit.
A wise old crackwhore once told me, "No one can fuck me better than me...." Oh, wait.....maybe that was Liz. Oh well, same difference. Avoidance is the key to my success as of late. Avoidance and abstinence. Maybe it's selfish of me to steal away and take to the streets solo like Rodney King's bastard lovechild, but I can't help it. Everyone has time to do their own thing and no one questions. When I do it, all hell breaks lose.
I didn't realize that because I've alwayys been the first to give guidance and advice, I was being held to a different standard than everyone else I know. I don't like this, sir. Not one little bit. I feel like the fattest kid in the neighborhood, just a nickel short of an ice cream sandwich.
Sex Outdoors: Symptom or Cure?
For all you lame-asses that haven't taken the time to consider the possibilities, let me paint a picture for you. Imagine it. Sex outside the bedroom. Doing it somewhere other than the same old same. I honestly suggest you try it, for the benefits are truly orgasmic. Whether you're trying to add a little bit of spark into the ever-dwindling flame of your ten year romance, or you're attempting to lasso yourself a Sunday kind of man, the benefits of doing it outdoors are unavoidable.
I've done it on a swing, on top of a U-Haul, everywhere imaginable, and believe me, after 3 years with the same man, the environment becomes a key element in the spontaneity of your intimate life. Who wants to do it over and over again, their legs over the shoulders of the man who conquered them missionary style years ago. I don't know about you, but I'ma complex person. With my varied moods and all the facets of my personality, I'd like to think that I can be conquered in many ways.....in many places. In fact, I require it. I crave it. And just to show you I'm not some stupid fag that has no idea what he's talking about, let me show you the satisfied faces of those braves souls who have dared to go barein public, and obviously don't regret it. What do you think? Isn't it about time you grabbed the hubby and started freaking it behind the Taco Bell? Email me and let me know your spin on this subject.
