I swear we are so much alike!! I am feeling bad today because some asshole decided to throw a big black trash bag across the street from my house!!! I live on a main road in Broketown(Brockton) and the people? around here are fucking pigs!!! I always think of how happy I will be when I sell my house and move!!! Hoping never to see peoples garbage again!! It drives me crazy!! How can people??? be so inconsiderate???? They should bring back hefty fines for the jerks that like to litter!!! My mom used to tell me how clean and pure our home country of Finland is. Why can’t Americans step it up and get together to put a stop to litterbugs??? That would make me happy and the world a much better world!!
Pop Tops.....I once played a benefit show for a fellow by the name of Pop Top Terp. He would collect pop tops and fashion chainmail looking clothing and groovy items like plant holders and lampshades (in other words a metallurgical version of macrame. He had fallen on hard times and we raised money by doing a gig in cool old Church basement (I am a sucker for a proper proscenium stage with curtains). On another note I solved the mystery regarding why people feel free to toss garbage on side walks out of moving vehicles or wherever they may find themselves. Very simply THEY WERE FINISHED WITH IT. (We are looking forward to our annual new years day Hudson River shoreline cleanup
so much plastic) Peace Love Service: Harley Fine(Ten Ton Truckers/ Tuff Darts/)
And bottle caps, which are still around far too often. Looking forward to seeing you again in 2023. Have fun at Benbow. One of my favorite romantic spots!
I came home from Xmas with a wine cork, a sheet of plastic film and some styrofoam packing. Ridwell picks it up here. And those plastic things from bread bags too. They're in the East Bay now...hope they get to SF.
Wow, great song. Also, you've put me in mind of Larry McMurtry novel Duane's Depressed. One of the things that really gets Duane down is roadside trash and, if I remember correctly, he spends a lot of the novel walking around picking it up. That might sound dull, but it's actually a very quick read!
Thanks Chuck, Truely great tune! So great to “not see them anymore” Hopefully we’re evolving. Bless the New Year Friend. Going up to Benbow for New Years to celebrate 38 years of wedded bliss. You don’t see that anymore!
Every time I get one of your newsletters it absolutely makes my day.As Greg Brown wrote in one of his songs,” It’s a fucked up world but I love it anyway “.Please come back to Sonoma County as often as you can✌️
Thank you!!! There cannot be too much outrage, discussion, or generally just harping on about this stuff. Eventually, hopefully, these killing plastics will go away like the pop top can. Until then, bravo! Let’s keep harping.
Happy New Year, Chuck!

Joke of the day: Now that they've outlawed plastic straws, I guess I'll have to drink this vanilla cappuccino through my semi-automatic rifle.
Great song!
