This would make a fantastic book. I like the safari poems.

Beautifully penned, LDF. Great write my friend. Appreciate you.

I remember that moment. And yeah, it is such a lose to the music industry with Eddie gone. It reminds me of something Doyle from the Misfits said. Something like the music industry is the only industry where people can’t get along to make millions of dollars.

Great ink

Great piece of writing Damian. Never enjoyed VH’s music. DLR or Sammy Hagar. It doesn’t matter to me. What does matter is this piece you wrote. Deep, intriguing and full of some fun facts. Backstage is one great idea my friend.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you liked the story my friend. Memories, are something I have in abundance. There will be more. Appreciate you.

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the story my friend. Loved “Me Wise Magic” and “Can’t Get This Stuff No More.” were both great songs. Mike was always the anchor on backing vocals. DLR, often referred to him as the, Art Garfunkel, of the band. lol. Ed, went through a rough time for sure with addiction. Like you said he did clean up though, and turned his life around. They were great with, Hagar. But I’ll always be a Roth guy. I loved them both as solo artists as well. Actually I sometimes prefer Sammy on his own. Appreciate you.

I’ve heard both incarnations of Van Halen. I’m a DLR era girl myself. Different energy. Oddly enough, I enjoyed Hagar solo better than in Van Halen. I could never quite reconcile that innocent boy face on Eddie with the incredible fucking skill he blasted out of his guitar. Damn. Those were good days & great tunes. Thank you for taking us back, my friend

This poem sent me back to medieval times and back through a projection of Se7en. A Well written poem!

Slipping through the shadows again with this one. I always have to give these a second read before I can find words

Fantastic work.

Brilliantly penned, Naaj. This is what I call bringing it my friend. The flow is effortless. Appreciate you.

Dammit! I wish I could get the bookmark to work for me! Consider this one well & truly bookmarked! The muse is a sly creature…never know which road she’s gonna lead you down. But she always seems to do right by you, my friend

Kind of feels like being married to a muse. A romance that sparks on pages. Great ink.

A lovely piece of writing Damian. Nice work.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. Glad you enjoyed the write my friend. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you like these stories my friend. It’s therapeutic for me, helps me understand where the wheels fell off at certain points in time. My first portrayals of Joey G, were always in a negative light. Guess I was still mad, still am sometimes. But as I dug deeper I realized I couldn’t tell an accurate story without showing some good times every now and then. Little glimpses where we got it right, even if only for a bit. Appreciate you.

Damian

Your stories are always intriguing and in depth. Nice description here about your past.
