Friends, A few days ago I got a text from my old friend and bandmate Winston Watson. He was out playing drums with the MC5. Yes, you heard that right. The M! C! 5! They were in San Francisco. Playing at Bimbo’s. He said he’d put me on the guest list. Plus one. But nooooooo! I have stupid cancer, and I have to stay away from crowds. Color me immuno-motherf***ing-compromised.
Saw you and the band at the Ark in Ann Arbor the other night, Chuck. I was happy to see that you seem to have returned to full health. Great show and best of luck on the European tour.
Oh Chuck, this is what we were waiting to hear. We’ve been so worried about you and thinking about you all the time. Lisa is always asking me if I heard anything from you on The Land That Time forgot! We read your email this morning together and were so touched that you are still entertaining us with your humor and your anecdotes. It’s something that cancer can’t take away from you. You may not be out on the road but you’re still making us smile. By the way nice colors in your apartment, who is your interior decorator? We want to be in touch.
Appreciate you sharing this, Chuck - keen to know how it's going, but conscious of your privacy, too. Should have seen you in Newcastle, UK yesterday, but that'll just make the next time even more special. An Econoline load of positive vibes heading your way. Take care.
Chucker, sending super celestial healthy vibes your way from Pittsburgh. We were the two who sat in the back seat of "The Matrix" car at the Pittsburgh FIlm Festival. As soon as you and Stephie realized that we were in the back, you bolted. Good Times!!! Hope to see you soon. Deb & Steve
It was good to hear that you are making progress with the treatment and keeping positive about the situation in general. Like others here I hope that you will soon be able to make music again and tour the U.K. again, not just the good old U.S. of A.
Great to hear from you, Chuck! Thanks for keeping us posted, I know it can’t be easy. We wish you a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you on the road again soon.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by how honest, ballsy, soulful and unique this note was - since that’s how you bring it to your writing, playing, and shows. Thanks for sharing. Hope it’s a little cathartic. You’re doing all the right things to beat it, including the walks (maybe a little less Nixon, that sounds stressful, because it has to be done with a grimace!). Wishing you luck, and hoping you don’t need it!
Who doesn’t like to get fussed over?

Nice post, Chuck. Keep the head up and the heart full. We’ll keep praying for you.

Always great to hear from the World of Chuck.
Stay strong buddy....your Squier must be in shock!
