I have very few photos of the three mothers in my life but I did find this one from a few years ago which seems fitting – both as a day to celebrate and also because it captures how wild and crazy all these ladies are!

Music Monday – “So while you sit back and wonder why/I got this fucking thorn in my side/Oh my God, it’s a mirage/I’m tellin’ y’all, it’s a sabotage”

RIP Mick Burrs (Steven Michael Berzensky) 1940-2021

PICTURES OF THE DEAD (from “Dark Halo”) The dead leave us only images of themselves: souvenirs in washed out colours, dried petals pressed in family albums, shadows that stain our papered walls.
