To the mother who raised this obnoxious creature, who's will is turned by their treatment, the axe it struck and separates blood, brothers and sisters cant give too much, caught helping, helping them catch, but which one of you can tell of a crime or a deed of which responsibility could be proved, which one of you. Your head hurts, are they poisoning your intake, how much suspicion because of an earache. I write it brings me mixed feelings, on toward the end my thoughts are not through, which one of you wants my body back in a cage. Those of you who declare my doom, if leaving will satisfy, why not say leave, all i ask for is for fair play, not a stab from behind, perhaps not here but certainly not there, have your voices told you, have you tried, which one of you wants me to die
15.

He came back to Houston and put together, what I remember as, Houston’s first punk band. They were Legionaire’s Disease Band. They were chaos! Superb chaos. Just exactly what Houston needed...U-Ron of Really Red. ... more
