Just wanted to wish everyone who has helped me so much in the last year a very happy holiday season and THANK YOU!!!! Bless you for your kindness, and your continued help really helps. But more than that, just knowing you care makes me want to live. Which is the most important thing, ever. There really is much kindness in the world - it's just too bad most people are so blinded by their own greed and selfishness to see what a really wonderful world we live in. Again, thank you. And bless you all.

God Bless The Kids! Or as the Blanks 77 would say, "The Kids Go!". They are doing a benefit for me in Ohio on January 6th, and it's great!!! And I can really use the money. Seems things are never as good as you want them to be. Looks like I'm facing more complications, and possibly, arrrgh, more surgery. Bleech. Of course, I can't afford any of this, so all the HELP I can get is great! Anyway, Punk Rock, and you all fuckin' rule!

So, let me get this straight, 5 FUCKIN' YEARS after I've been screaming at the Village Voice and New York Press that we are going to have a cancer cluster, they finally listen? Riiiiight. I am so pissed at both papers for being "alternative" yet such fuckin' pussies. That's right, pussies. A few months after 9/11 I approached the New York Press who I WORKED for telling them that I did these tests and have PROOF that cancer causing agents are everywhere downtown. What do they do? Tell me I'm fuckin' nuts. So I approach The Village Voice. Same fuckin' deal. In total disbelief, I wonder what the fuck is going on. I mean, I could see The New York Times, Daily News, and The New York Post cover-up this shit, but the alternative rags? Bah! But guess what....they did. They had the information. So the question becomes why didn't they share it with their readers and save some future lives? 2 words. Real Estate. They both have Real Estate sections, and they knew if they pissed off the market, they'd lose income. Also, some people at at least the New York Press owned prime real estate downtown. They didn't want to take the personal hit. So everyone went into a convienent denial. No problem, no loss of ad sales. But when I talked to certain people in the advertising departments of both papers, they, off the record, told me this was exactly the case. They didn't want to lost income. So now The Village Voice has the balls to put this story on the cover. One they helped cover up. Fuck them. Yeah, I know there is a new owner, Mike Lacey, and I know him personally (I worked for him). Mike is a hard news kinda guy so maybe I gotta give the new owner the benefit of the doubt, but I also know Lacey can be sleazy at times. All in all this stinks to high hell. I'm really fuckin' sick and these assholes are "breaking stories". Five years ago on the COVER OF THE WASHINGTON POST I said there would be a cancer cluster. It only took this long for local papers to catch up. Excuse me, local "Altertnative" papers. Yeah, you're alternative. The Daily News with Juan Gonzalez has more balls then any rag that passess themself off as a paper of the people. So, in Al Goldstein tradition, FUCK YOU VILLAGE VOICE - but thanks for running the article, anyway.

Gobble Gobble Hey and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I have a lot to be thankful this year - but mostly I am thankful for my great friends and family who have helped me survive this very difficult last year. I thank you for your kind donations and time - which is something I've learned to value more than anything. Bless you!!!!!
November 14th, 2006
I did get to go to the Punk Magazine party, and saw lots of my old friends, and well as some new ones. It was wonderful. Everyone is so supportive! It did wipe me out for about a week, and I didn't even have one drink! But all that standing got me. But it was worth it. I really do love Jeff and Beth, Spag, Jimbo, Mickey, The Bullies, Evan, Lindsey (Kitty), Glenn, Trigger, and everyone else I forgot to mention. Bless you all and thank you for making a sick guy feel really good! Don't dream it, be it!
November 1, 2006
Hope everyone had a fun Halloween. Shari and I got to walk around the village and she took Scooter to the big parade! I hear it was so exciting he howled! Punk Rock! Anyway, looks like Punk Magazine is relaunching again, and my pal Jimbo from Creamyfist is the new editor! Yay!!! In other news, seeing more doctors and beginning to feel a bit better, so Yay!!!! Oh, and check THIS out.....very cool!
October 25, 2006
Well, CBGB closed its doors. It's the end of an era. I wasn't well enough to attend the final shows, but Scooter says he had a great time!!
October 12, 2006
Thanks to Dan for his benefit! And thanks to Monica and C.J. and Shari for helping! Lt. Bill Keegan rules! THIS just came out in the AP (Alternative Press). Not feeling so hot...so more to come soon.......
October 6, 2006
Just got THIS great article from Punk Rock Confidential! What a great magazine! Thanks Tripp! If you haven't seen this magazine, check it out. There is a priceless picture of Blag from The Dwarves reading to a kid! Yay!!!!
September 29, 2006
Right now I'm trying to get better from the side effects of the side effects of getting better. I hate this shit. What I don't hate is THIS. It is very cool. Dan and Monica are doing a swell job, and I am honored to be involved in this thing. Finally, some of the firefighters, cops, residents, workers and student's voices will be heard. Nevermind the EPA who is gonna come clean as well. Punk Rock, Indeed!
September 25, 2006
The above flier is from my pal Dan Schneider. Dan is a lawyer I have worked/played with over the last 15 years and a dear friend. When he heard I was sick, like Superman, he came to my rescue. Bless him. Check out his site, and again, I am so thankful and blessed. It is great to have long time friends who care so much.
September 23, 2006
Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a great one and may you all be blessed. Like me!!! And like Whole Hog, who recorded these for the upcomming compiliation!
September 15, 2006
Above L - R is: Andrew, Paul, Nickolus, George and Harrison. Oh, watching is Scooter down below. Photo by Shari. Everyone is playing the amazing game, Animal Crossing that I have written so much about for their Nintendo Duel Screen (DS) machines. Yay!!!! Right now I've got twenty coconuts growing every three days...it's all in how you plant them on the edge of the beach/land. Anyway, Paul and I recorded a version of Furious George's "Redrum" for an upcomming compilation. Hear it for yourself! We took the "Ramones" feel and made it "Dead Boys". Punk Fuckin' rock, and God Bless The Kids!!!!
September 12, 2006
Just got out of the hospital yet again. More on that later, when I'm able to even think about it. Right now, just wanna thank Vanessa, who did the benefit at CBGB's Art Gallery, and Jayne County and Evan, who helped so much. Also to my great friend, Bebe Buell, whose love is more than I could ever ask for. Bless you my friends. And thanks to Brenda, who did THIS.
August 31, 2006
Okay, so I’m getting ready to go to sleep. I’ve made all the bells I can for the day in Nintendo’s “Animal Crossing” for the DS.
It’s great, I’ve made them fishing, bug hunting, and fruit picking in this wonderful colorful world of cartoon animals where everyone is friendly and nice. And the air is so clean you can see the pixels.
Then, stupidly, I turn on the TV to see what’s on (wouldn’t want
to miss a good sex scene on HBO or something - it’s something I’ve
come to live for. That, and cartoon animals.)
Anyway, it’s PBS and on is Charlie Rose. Axel’s older brother? I
dunno.
So Charlie is interviewing some young guy in a suit and he’s all smiley faced and shit and he’s saying stuff like “this study will really help us understand all the effects, and maybe, someday, we can figure out how to help these people!”
And I’m thinkin that he can’t be talking about what I’m thinking.
But sure enough, the next line out of his mouth is “WTC” and how’s
he's on the New York Department Of Health about this thing, and how they want
to “help” New Yorkers by understanding this thing.
Understanding.
This “thing”.
And now it’s hours later and I still can’t sleep or even stay still,
although my lungs are begging for rest, as are my intestines.
“Understand?” “Do more testing and screening?” What
the fucking fuck!?!?!
Five years later they (the government) trot out some wet behind the ears kid
and tell him his job is to convince people that “help is on the way in
the distant future?”
Oh, that’s just great. When we’re all dead, and they have done their “study”. And guess what they are going to say, “Gee, the air was poison and very bad. Very bad”. And that will be it.
Neverfuckingmind that for the LAST FIVE YEARS I have been screaming at the top
of my lungs that the area was a death trap/cancer cluster, and the more people
moved now, the more lives saved.
But I guess that would have meant less occupancy in those apartments. Great, now they can rent them to corpses.
And all The Wall Street workers and people with everyday jobs. Told the air
was clean when the government clearly knew it was a lie. Look, if they needed
to keep Wall Street open, why not just give those who wish to stay “a
raise”. People will do anything for money. I know. I watch reality television.
Anyway, the guy on television is talking about the program at Mt. Sinai, where,
from what I’ve read and heard, they are UNDER REPORTING cancer rates and
telling people they are sick, but not really helping them. How sweet.
Then there’s the whole Mexican worker thing no one has talked about. YET.
See, when those vents needed cleaning in NYC in those buildings, they brought
in illegal aliens to clean them. From Mexico. Who really couldn’t speak
English, understand what was going on, just that they were making a ton of money
wiping vents with paper towels and Fantastic. No lie. Kinda like trying to beat
a video game boss with a twig. I witnessed this every day.
Of course, when and if these people ever complain, The Minutemen will say they
should have never been in the country in the first place, and aren’t due
for any health care. Nice how it’s gonna work out like that, huh?
And then there are the firefighters and cops. The REAL heroes of September the
11th. The ones, who if they speak out about what I’m saying, will have
their pensions destroyed and have their familes starve to death. It’s
all been done very smoothly.
And what should we do? Complain to Senator Clinton or Mayor Bloomburg? Clinton
says she knows “of the problem” but can’t really do anything.
Her hands are tied. Gee, she’ll make a great president. And the mayor?
It doesn’t exist. All is fine here. Nothing to see. Move along.
As I write this, I feel my heart beat at a thousand beats per second or something.
I am furious. Furious George. It seems the new plan in Washington now is to
recognize there is a problem, take NO responsibility for it, and commit no funds
to health care in wake of it. Sounds like everything else the Bush Administration
does.
You know, I really wished I stayed a bit longer in “Animal Crossing”,
trying to catch that elusive Black Bass or that Clown Fish. Or maybe picked
some more apples, peaches and coconuts. Or wrote a virtual letter to my pal,
Chief, or Tank. It’s so nice there.
Maybe, when this is all over for me, I will get a place next to Puddles and
perhaps Lobo. I’ll work in the sun everyday, and network with my animal
pals who are there for me 24/7. Everyday will be beautiful, and every evening,
restful.
I’m kinda looking forward to it.
August 30, 2006
Yo, Ali G-Fuzz here sayin' to check out my favorite homeboys, on September 9 in Great Neck. And check out their cool as hell video for it here. Peace. Of ass.
August 23, 2006
Again, thank you all. This past weekend there were several events held for me around the world, and from what I heard, everyone had a great time, and some money was raised, too! I couldn't even ask for anything better. Fun, in my name. That's what it's all about. Bless you all. And today special prayers go out to my brother the doctor and his lovely family, and my brother, Marc, from another mother! I love you all. And I'm still excepting donations! Yee Haw & Punk Rock!
August 22, 2006
It's a wonderful life. God bless each and every one of you!
August 20, 2006
I am the luckiest person in the world. As bad as my health is, I am so incredibly blessed, it is nothing short of a miracle. Count your blessings, I certainly do! Yay!!!
August 15, 2006
Well, it looks like my book is a hit down under with the large rodent population! Thanks again, Katpee! Also, Carbon 14, a most excellent magazine, did a nice article about me. They go!
August 14, 2006
Bless all of you, my friends, my family. Above are two ads for two benefits about to happen. The first one is at Continental on August 20th. The second, in Wales on August 19th. It's so wonderful. Thank you!!!! The money will really help. Also, I read this on the cover of the paper today (thanks Evan). Of course it will take a while for it to trickle down to me, like years, but the ball is rolling. And it's all because of us, as in you and me. We are changing the world slowly, and leaving it a better place then when we came into it. I still need a lot of help, so please continue to donate so I can see the right doctors and survive, and once again, bless you all.
August 13, 2006
Lots to report. Benefits around the world, more sickness, but even more blessings. But for today, here is a picture of my nephew Harrison, who along with his two brothers, Andrew and Nicholas, are the greatest! More soon! Thanks Shari for the great drawings!
July 28, 2006
I am truely flattered by the above offer that was left on my MySpace site, however, I am too old fashioned. Kids these days!. But it's very sweet. What is also sweet is the new Help George Tabb Dot Com Site by my pal Vexorg. What Vex is doing is a tribute album to, guess who? Me!!! I can't fucking believe it!!! Anyway go to the new site for details and please, if you want, join in. You can even sing "Gilligan" with many others. What I'm trying to say here is itis great to have so many people care. Like I said, my friends are my family, and bless you all!
July 24, 2006
Check this out. Oh, and thanks to everyone who did the CBGB thing. Wrote a lot about that on my myspace page. Bless you all. My friends. My family. One in the same.
July 16. 2006
If world leaders are gonna debate WW III on "Larry King Live"....well, it's gotten to this, folks!
July 13, 2006
Animal Crossing for the Nintendo DS rules. It's sort of a life simulation thingie with animals n' stuff. So far, after just one day, I've already got a nazi flag to represent my town, and my avitar wears and upside down cross t-shirt. Punk Rock. Plus, I'm trying to figure out a way to rob Tom Nook's store, that slimely racoon. This is more fun than real life. Speaking of, my stepfather, a few months back, said in so many words that I'd never grow up. If growing up is being like the way he is these days, I'm glad I'm am the way I am. Grown-up for real.. Oh, Robot Chicken is the BEST thing on TV these days. Finally, Doctor appointment tomorrow. Hope it goes well and they figure something out, but even if they don't, I have FAITH that everything will be fine. Yesterday, my step-father asked where I got all this faith. I told him it was simple. I have the best friends in the world and the best group of people on my side. A guy couldn't ask for anything more. Ever.
July 9, 2006
Found this cool picture of Bators and Jett taken in Joan Jett's bedroom! Punk Rock! Oh, those crazy kids!!! Anyway, check out my buddy Paul's band here. They rock and if anyone is the living reincarnation of that little crazy singer, who is by far, my favorite vocalist ever, it's Paul. Anyway, just relaxing and counting my blessings. A great thing to do for anyone! Shalom!
July 8, 2006
MySpace just posted a review of my book. Very cool! Not much new here, just resting and trying to get better. See an infectious disease specialist next week - thanks to everyone for letting me be able to do that!!!! Punk Rock! And You go!!!
July 3, 2006
Bless all my friends for this and everything else!!! Although I won't be there I want to thank everyone! Yay!!!!!!!

This Heaven Gives Me Migraine
Just got out of the hospital once again. Was taking a shower and actually in a really good mood. Singing along to my favorite songs on itunes. Sunddenly, felt like I was upside down and sideways then I puked and puked all the tea I had drank that morning. Next thing ya know, with the help of Shari, a dry towel, and a barking Yorkie, I'm in an ambulence on the way to the hospital. Eventually, to the right one. One thing I can tell you, Spinal Taps hurt. Anyway, need plenty of rest, blah blah blah, and one day maybe I'll get better. Or if I'm Gilligan, Kill Them! Oh,this song won't leave my head since this latest 9/11 fallout shit began:
The
problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
Ideal love a new purchase
A market of the senses
Dream of the perfect life
Economic circumstances
The body is good business
Sell out, maintain the interest
Remember lot?s wife
Renounce all sin and vice
Dream of the perfect life
This heaven gives me migraine
The problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
Coercion of the senses
We are not so gullible
Our great expectations
A future for the good
Fornication makes you happy
No escape from society
Natural is not in it
Your relations are of power
We all have good intentions
But all with strings attached
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
The problem of leisure
What to do
for pleasure
Ideal love a new purchase
A market of the senses
Dream of the perfect life
Economic circumstances
The body is good business
Sell outs [? out ? ] maintain the interest
Remember lot?s wife
Renounce all sin and vice
Dream of the perfect life
This heaven gives me migraine

It is a wonderful feeling to have great friends. The benefit above is being thrown together by Evan, Val, and some other very close people to my heart. Bless you and thank you. I'm hoping there are more benefits around the globe as these doctors and tests are way too much money. But I also count my blessings every morning, something my dear friend David reminded me of. So please keep the donations coming and go here to read about that. Thank you.
June 10, 2006
My friend, Katherine a/k/a "Katpee" is pictured above along with a section of an article that was done about her in a newspaper in Ireland. I can't even put into words how thankful I am to have friends like her, and many others, who are helping out in so many ways. While I hope I'm not dying, it's scary to see that in print. Thing is, I'm gonna fight this and LIVE. Thank you Katherine, and to everyone who is helping by out with finances, and by spreading the word. And your prayers, too. Bless you all!
June 9, 2006
Gotta love The New York Post. Probably the best cover they've run since "Headless Body Found In Topless Bar". Of course it's offensive, and is gonna piss off a lot of people. Hell, when I did the single "Bring Me The Head Of Jerry Garcia", people were sending me death threats. This? Yay!!!!! I'm glad to see the world can still make good sick jokes! Punk Rock!
June 3, 2006
I just got this banner from a friend on myspace. I like it. It's creative and shows that he really really cares. I've also got many nice letters and donations and just want to say it is starting to help and bless you all. With all of my heart. And hey, Check THIS out. My friend Katherine, in Ireland, raised money by playing the banjo. Now that is D.I.Y, punk rock, and lovely! I'm truely blessed to know people like her.
May 22, 2006
Had a great time at the dead guy's birthday bash! I sang "Somebody Put Something In My Drink" and "Warthog". Well, sorta. During "Drink", Richie Ramone's mic went dead so the band (Richie Stotts, Jean Beauvior, Richie Ramone and Evan Cohen) kinda got lost. Or I did. Whatever. Then, in Warthog, those weird counts fucked up things. Whatever, it was great to be introduced by Silvio as "members of Furious George and The Plasmatics and Ramones". Punk Fuckin' Rock. Of course, after the 2 songs, I found myself beat to shit and exhausted. Everyone said, "take it easy and do it easy". Yeah, right. I LOVE the fuckin' Ramones. How could I not give it everything I had. So, I'm worn out. What the fuck. It was worth every second. Now I just gotta keep working on the myspace helpgeorgetabb thing, and I will. Thanks to all those who came out, and Gabba Gabba Hey to my pal, Mike, who took the above photo! Also, I gotta say, it was wonderful to see Mickey, his mom, Monte, Bubbles (Mitch Keller), and some other old buddies. I'm glad everyone is still a happy family!
May 19, 2006
Happy Birthday to my dear ex-friend. I hope I'm well enough to sing for you tonight. Even if I'm not, I will. Cause us Ramonies are a happy family. Gabba Gabba Hey!
May 12, 2006
Man am I tired of these crutches. Ouch. Anyway, click on the banner above and it will take you to the new part of this site, and by extension, to the new Myspace site. I'm kinda really fucked here and wouldn't be doing this if I didn't have to. Anyway, I'm looking foward to singing with none other than RICHIE RAMONE next week at the Joey Ramone Benefit thing. It's gonna rock! Punk Rock!
May 5, 2006
Sorry to be outta touch. I knew something was wrong. Spent the last two days in the E.R. They're still not sure what's wrong with me...something to do with bad cells, infection, bacteria or something. Anyway, got to see a decontamination, old people dying, young girls barely dressed, and of couse, deaf nurses. Special thanks to Shari and Seth for all their help! Auntie Joan, too.
May 2, 2006
So I went back to my "natural" hair color, whatever that is! Oh, that's me and the lovely Shari! Yay!!! Anyway, I'm not feeling so hot - hope I'm not getting "sick" again. Arrrgh. Anyway, yesterday everyone was protesting for Illegal Aliens. I hate them bald headed fucks with those big black eyes and their damn anal probes. Plus, they aren't even tall enough to ride on the "adult" rides at Six Flags. Fuck them.
April 28, 2006
Those damn Lemmings. Great game for the PSP but driving me insane. Addictive like Tetris, crack and masturbation. Anyway, cool article about the new book HERE. Punk Rock and Yay!
April 23, 2006
Thanks to my pal Forrest for the above photo! You go, Forrest! Remember, you can get pictures of yourselves up on this site by just sending me photos of you and my books. Look here to see what I'm talking about. Anyway, congrats to Forrest for his upcomming marriage to the blonde (Lisa)on the left, and I'm sure they'll both be very happy. Oh that's Kate in the middle and Shelly Jay on the right. Forrest and Lisa are professional figure skaters - and I know Forrest from his punk rock days as a drummer from Strychnine & The Rat Traps from Leigh Valley, PA. Whatever you do, whether it's being a writer, figure skater, short order cook, or even rocket scientist, you can always be punk rock! Yay!!!!
April 22, 2006
Paul Ryder & The Riots rock. Check them out here. Great fucking band! They're gonna be huge. Mark my words. Anyway, just finished a new commercial for Surfing Armageddon. Check that out here. Then pass it on...
April 19, 2006
Lit a candle for my mom yesterday for her birthday and did the prayer thing. I can't believe it's been so long because time has been so short. I still can smell her. Life goes by too fast. I miss her but know one day I'll see her again. Right now I'm sure she's in Heaven laughing it up with Joey Ramone - and I hope they are having a great time!
April 13, 2006
Happy Passover to everyone. Last night I was fortunate enough to enjoy a sedar with actual survivors of the holocaust along with my girlfriend and her wonderful son. If they can find a reason to live, then why can't we all? If they can be happy, shouldn't we all be? For without them, their families would not even exist. We must all survive, and more importantly, keep telling the stories so we never forget. That the real monsters in this world are men. Speaking of such things, read this just now. Sound eerie - but all too familliar. I'm betting my health problems are more than a coincidence. First the dogs, then the firemen. We can all see where this is going. Fuck. But like all survivors, I ain't going down without kicking some ass and chewing bubble gum. And I'm all outta gum.
April 6, 2006
Been one of those trying times in life. Had to take some test to find out about myself. Bleech.
March 31, 2006
Some people have written me to complain about my mustache. My friend Astridur gave me a better look. Now I can join The New York Dolls! Woo Hoo! Oh, order Surfing Armageddon now, I hear the price is going back up!
March 29, 2006
Well, I guess that's it. I'm bankrupt. Chapter 7. Just found out through the mail. Whatever. Now those creditors, who, in reality, were ripped off by an evil scam....well, they won't be calling anymore. I feel bad for them...but what the fuck can I do? It's been a pretty yucky year and a half. Over 45 days in the hospital, went through an ugly divorce, had really painful surgery 3 times, and now, I'm unable to pay most of my medical bills. Punk Rock. But I'll be fine. I know it. My new book should help things along, but I know that even if it does, it's not gonna pay the bills I need to pay right away. Maybe in a year I'll see some book money. Which will be nice. But of course, even if I don't, just having Soft Skull publish them is such an Honor!!! In the meantime, I gotta figure out a way of paying my medical expenses so I can continue on the road to recovery and get the tests done I need. The fucking thing is I'm too weak to really work right now. I get exhausted walking Scooter around the block. But I'll get better. And hey, that machine that was hooked up to me did the trick. The hole in my stomach is almost closed. Thank God and my doctors for that! Yay!!!!! Anyway, sorry to sound whiney...it's just that seeing it in black and white makes it so real. I've lost the house, the car, and whatever survived 9/11. But on the good side, I've got Scooter, a great new person in my life, and her loving family. I'm thinking maybe I should do a benefit for myself, but it sounds very selfish. Then again...I've done benefits all my life for everyone. The homeless, Aids, rock against racism, cancer, you name it. Even CBGB. I've organized tons of events and really feel good about that. But now it looks like the tables have turned and I may need to ask for help. And for me, that's the hardest thing to do. But I'll figure something out. In the meanwhile, thank all of you who have stuck close to me during this very hard time. I appreiciate all your help and love. And I've also really learned who my friends are. I guess you gotta be at rock bottom to see that. I hope nobody else ever finds themselves where I've been dwelling lately. Not even my worst enemies. Anyway, La Chiam! And Punk Rock!
March 25, 2006
The lion goes "roar!"
March 23, 2006
Scooter's new pal, Daniel, says check this out!
March 22, 2006
I reread the article in NERVE and kinda like the edit. It's different than the book, and, well, punk rock! Soft Skull so rules for doing this! Anyway, last night I finally beat Half-Life 2. Yup, as Dr. Gordon Freeman I kicked the Combines ass. All I can say is, "what a fucking story!" Yay!!! Anyway, starting to putz around with Syphon Filter for the PSP and it's quite amazing. It's nice to have my brain almost back online...now if I could only get my body to follow....
March 21, 2006
Thanks to my pal Willow for Scooter's brand spankin' new handmade leather jacket! Yay! Also, in NERVE this week. Punk Rock!
March 18, 2005
$9.72 on amazon today. And it starts shipping Thursday. Sssssssh!
March 17, 2006
Just got the above photo via myspace. Now I'm sure it's a scam as the "girl" who sent it has a "webcam just for me". Right. Anyway, thought it was a nice St. Patty's Day gift, anyway. I love technology. Oh, Shalom Shabbot!
March 16, 2006
Ya know, sometimes I think no matter how hard you try and teach someone something, they just don't get it. Or refuse too. Or are blind to it on purpose. Or don't want to see things in another light because it may shine light upon something about themselves. And I feel sorry for them. But maybe I shouldn't. I dunno. I guess I'm just human. And humans have, um, boobies. Mmmm....boobies.
March 10, 2006
While
Nick was here he found my mom's high school diploma. Punk Rock! Yo Brooklyn!
"Brooklyn fuckin' born, Brooklyn fuckin' bred, live in fuckin' NYC until
I'm fuckin' dead!" Yo! Okay, so I took some
liberty and changed one Brooklyn to NYC. After all, it is Brooklyn.
Anyway, the only thing worse
than
a broken rib is two!! On each side! Punk Rock! Oh, and click
for Oy Oy Oy! Oh, and don't miss THIS.
Best thing on Saturday Night Live in 20 years.

Just got the above picture from my pal, Annette. It's the False Prophets, and up front is none other than Jello Biafra, and on stage is James White along with Stephan, my mustached and long fingernailed singer. Those were the days. Oh, Aunt Franne is in the audience as well. I'm glad they're over!

Now that there is cable again in the apartment, I forgot how much I hated the news. Everything is negative and fear mongering. I got a nice letter from my pal Vlad in Brooklyn today which read "Allow me to introduce you to Captain RUSTY. He is the newest member of the family. At 56 pounds this Shepherd/Husky mix is nothing but loving and adorable. We got him yesterday. Rusty came from the city pound where he was scheduled to meet his end. Seems nobody adopts 9 year old dogs, well maybe his nickname should be Lucky because this guy just won doggy Lotto by coming to our home where he will be loved unconditionally." Sometimes we get so lost in our own misery we forget about the true HEROES around us. Bless you, Vlad. All you other good folks, too. And to all of my good friends - The world is a better place because of you.

Ya ever have one of those months? I swear, some things in this country are turning third world, and NO ONE will take any responsibility. It never ceases to amaze me. No accountability. And we wonder why kids are growing up the way they do? Let's lead by example, or the whole world is gonna turn into the guy above. While it's fun for video games, I don't think it will cut it in reality. Nice interview about my book here!

One of those Dog Day Afternoons. Oh, meet the Wherewolf Of New York!
February 22, 2006
Just a short apology here to say I'm sorry not to be in touch with lots of people. Lately, some loved ones very close to me have really made me a bit nuts. Anyway, I thank everyone for their help doing whatever they can, and I guess I just need some more Prozac and bedrest like above. Shalom.
February 20, 2006
Ouchie! After 8 hours in the E.R, it's twue! 6 to 8 weeks of bedrest! Ha! Anyway, just heard from Soft Skull they are gonna make Surfing Armageddon bumper stickers! Yay!!!! Also, don't miss Paul Ryder & The Riots tomorrow night at The Continental. Wish I could be there. Right now playing Castlevania for the DS. Punk Rock! Thanks again to all my pals!

Hopefully this will be the first and last self-serving post to this here "news" section. Thing is, been getting a lot of letters lately asking me if I'm still in Arizona, or, for that matter, if I'm still in New York. I know it's confusing, believe me, 'cause I'm confused. So much happened over the last few years that the only way to know is to read through this here blog thing. Which is a drag, 'cause if you don't like cute pictures of my Yorkie, Scooter, you're gonna get bored real quick. And there is no boobies, so, that's that. In that spirit, I offer up my time line over the last five years. Condensed and only full the of bad stuff. The good stuff like my family,friends and band, Shari, Scooter, and faith in The Torah are not mentioned here - but everywhere else. As usual, I thank those close to me for all their help. It feels great to be loved, and I love you all back with all of my heart.

Yesterday a dear member of my family passed away. His name was Xander, and he was 12 years old. Loved by my Auntie Joan and everyone else, he, like many pets (including my Scooter), was so much more. A child in many ways. And it is horrible to outlive your kids. My heart and blessings go out to my Auntie Joan. Her pain must be unbearable and I love her so much. If you are into praying, please remember my Auntie Joan if you can. She is a person who gives until it hurts. She loved Xander and fixed him 3 meals a day (vegetarian - punk rock!) and also bathed him daily. He was a giant, with an even bigger heart. He will be missed dearly.

I get tons of letters that always read "I used to read your column in MRR (Maximumrocknroll)". That's kinda funny since I'm still writing them, so read 'em! And the books, of course! Also, just saw that my pal Monte(y) who was the Ramones manager and wrote a book about it got his own MySpace page at www.myspace.com/ontheroadwiththeramones - Yay!! You go, Monte! In other news, I'm still hooked up to the Robosuck 3000. Hal, open the pod bay doors! Other than that, it's nice to have Nick, Shari, Yetti, Zuzu and Scooter around. Much better than any fucking death factories they call hospitals. Oh, and it's nice to see Christine Todd Whitman and The EPA finally exposed. I hope their noses grow so long they can shove them up their own asses. How's that smell? Like Fox News? I thought so.
February 3, 2006
Out of the hospital once again. Knew I over did it. Just had more surgery. Something to do with that James Camerson movie that takes place underwater and persperation. I dunno. Who cares. Now I get to be hooked up to a machine that sucks. George Tabb; Borg. Sounds Jewish. Besides, resistence is futile. Thanks to everyone who is helping out and a special shout out to my family and Shari!
January 22, 2006
Thanks to Shari for the above picture! Yay!!!! Hey Ho, Let's Go!!!! Anyway, just recovering from the last couple of nights. I'm sure I've over-done it as I've got a fever, my stitches hurt, and my bp is out of control. I have to learn to do things SLOWLY. Schmuck! That's me!!!! Anyway, Evan has started Columbia and seems to be enjoying himself. I can't wait to go to frat rush parties with him. Also, am I the only one on the planet who thinks that show "Medium" with that Arquette chick is amazing? Yeah, yeah, I know it takes place in Phoenix, but I can forgive that. In other news, let's give Iran what they want, where they want it. And the rest of those fuckers as well. But let's first clear out all the animals and children.

Shabbot Shalom, a bit late. Had a great time playing with Furious George last night at Spunk Bubble. Got winded fast, though. Gettin' old. Anyway, it was great to see my band who are my best friends, as well as some old friends I haven't seen for quite a while! Hi Donna! Hi Ronnie Hi Ken! And yes, Hi Harris!!!

Da pain! Da pain! Actually, nothing new to report - "Surfing Armageddon" will be a bit delayed, and it's cold outside.
January 12, 2006
Furious George is playing next Friday night, January 20th, at a party called "Spunk Bubble". Print out this flier for a discount or whatever. We go on very late, so come drunk. If you can, if ya know what I mean. Baroompa-crash. Also, the night before, January 19th, I'm DJing at a club called Scenic on Avenue B, where I'll be spinning showtunes, punk, rock, and Freebird. Over and over again. It's free, starts at 10pm, and goes to whenever. So come out and support your neighborhood spider-monkey.

As Jeff from above would say, "This is Reeedickyouluss!" Found it on Punk Magazine's website. Looks like Beth would say the same thing!!!! Just got word from Soft Skull about the book and that it will be a bit late. Sorry. Nothing I can do. Ask Jeff - he'll tell ya, reedickyouluss!
January 6, 2006

Above is my Auntie Joan's green dog, Xander. He's dressed as Jesus, errr, I mean, Santa. Whatever. Same holiday. Anyway, she tells me the chicks dig him cause of his tongue. I always thought it had something to do with his tail. Oh well. Anyway, he only eats vegtables and likes to lobby on Captiol Hill for the rights to eat the brain dead. Punk Rock. Anyway, the new book is on the way soon I hope, as are lots of other fun things.
January 1, 2006
Happy New Year! I hope this year everyone's best dreams come true! And keep those tails wagging!
