The local hospitol dedicated to Dwight Eisenhower was paid for by Bob Hope through the Bob Hope Classic.There was a big ceremony. Nixon,Ronald Reagen,Mimi Eisenhower,The Hopes to name a few.Kennedy used to have his rendezvous with Marlyn nearby in Palm Desert.Really a trip when I sit down and think about it.Hell I met Sonny Bono coming out of Sam's Club.You'd see Lucille Ball and Red Skelton frequently.My brother sold Red some Cow Bells that he put on a Christmas Wreath for the grill of his Rolls.Ford was one of the last.With his passing an era is also passing.Now days Eric Burden lives close by.Robert Plant will sit in at the local honky tonk.It's a new day but they're getting old.You hear stories of Brad Pitt and Angeline Joline getting gas for their Harley down at the corner market and here I sit a deadbeat hippie construction bum with no money hoping one of them will drop their fucking wallet.
come to coolidge, arizona, lay your weary head down on these raped boiled cotton fields. the earth has been through a lot here. it still keeps ticking, oddly, and yeilds, albeit with some resistance.
