I couldn't believe it! I went to see my parole officer today, and they had all my mail there. It caught up to me. I had like two bags of fuckin' mail.
I didn't think they had to forward it after I got out. But I walked in, and he says "I got something here for ya", and I... fuckin' two bags of mail. And he looked at me, he [laughs]. The fuckin' guy was freaking out today. He says, "I don't know", he says, "if I like what you're up to", he says. "You're hangin' out with all these crazy rock 'n' roll people." Man, if you only knew!
I think he went through some of my mail and saw some of the shit in there. And plus, I wеnt in today, I'd pierced my nose again, and I just wеnt in all fuckin'... the way I always look. He just looked at me, he says, "do you have a job yet?" Because I told him I got... I'd made 300 bucks from the last time I was in there, which is pretty good. You know, most people don't make a fuckin' hundred bucks.
I says, "nah"... well, I says "yeah", I says, "depending on what you consider a job." I said, "I got a band, I got a record deal." And he just looked at me, he said: "Do you have a job"? [laughs] I said, "well, in your eyes, probably not." And then he looks at my ticket, and I had to show him my plane ticket, and the ANTiSEEN poster that says "fuck the greedy bastards", and it's got... I didn't want him to read that side!
And he's reading the letter, he turns it around, and I said, "oh shit". He looks at it, he says, he says "God", he says, "I don't know if I like this!" He says, "it just doesn't look good." He says, "I'll be right back", and I'm thinking, "oh fuck, he's not gonna let me go". Then he comes back and throws the ticket at me and he says, "come back in on the 7th and I'll have a pass for you to go".
It's fuckin' cool, you know, I don't even have to see him again for three weeks. See, I think he knows, you know, what I'm doing. You know, I don't think he agrees with it, but he sees that I'm making money, and he sees that, you know, every time I go in there I seem to be doing a little bit better. So I don't think he's gonna give me too much of a problem. I don't know. I mean, it's still really, really premature to tell just what kind of an asshole this guy is, but so far he seems to, uh... you know, just the fact that he's letting me go to North Carolina. You know, he can't really possibly change his mind now. I mean, 'cause... you know, he's practically told me twice, "yeah, you can go".
My oil paintings are very crude. They're nothing at all like my drawings that I did in prison, because obviously, with a pen or a pencil, sketching is quick. My painting... you gotta realize, too, when I started oil painting, this is the first time I'd ever done it, and my... I only had two brushes, and I only had like six or seven paints. So it's very crude, but the idea of them is so cool, because... especially that I Love Nothing, where I sort of predicted the future. It's... I don't know. I think they're great paintings. I mean, any artist would look at them and say they were shit.
I like 'em. I think they're really cool. I don't know. I mean, you might not, and you might. I think you'll like just the idea of it, and the subject matter of it is kinda cool.
Someday I'll actually get my paintings back. Because generally I don't pay my bands that play on my albums, for the mere fact that, you know, I have a hard enough time getting fuckin' money out of these idiots.
I talked to Wes Beech tonight, too. And he's been talking to the drummer for the Plasmatics, the guy that was on Coup d'État. And the... I mean, that drummer's one of the best fuckin'... I mean, he's a great drummer. He wants to play with me on, like, a tour, and possibly record. So right now I've got two guys from the Plasmatics interested in playing with me.
I'm getting together with Wes this weekend. I'm still gonna do this album with ANTiSEEN, because, you know, it's slated to go, and it's done, and I'm ready. But I'm thinking about maybe doing a four-song EP with these guys. A twelve-inch, just as an American release.
But, uh... yeah, I got a couple other gigs tonight. I got a gig up in Portland, Maine for July 12th, with this band Big Meat Hammer, which is cool. And... oh, this is really fucked up, I may have a gig opening for Living Colour.
I couldn't believe it either. I told the guy, "you're fucking crazy". He says, "no", he says, "I'm serious". It's at a college. Bradenton College, in Maine, which, you know, I've heard of. And apparently this guy knows the person putting on the concert, and talked to them today. And they hadn't had a band, and they obviously even knew who I was, and said that they were interested, so...
Whether it would actually happen remains to be seen. But I wouldn't pass it up if it came about, for the main reason... as much as I don't really even care for their music or probably any of the people that would come see 'em, I think it would be a great outlet for me to get up there in front of probably a few thousand people and just piss 'em off.
