Dear All,
I’m writing this to wish you, my friends and family a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday.
That’s right, if you’re the type of schmuck who can sit around drinking mulled wine and eating chocolate mints while our planet goes to hell, go right ahead but plan on celebrating without me this year. Really, what does anyone have to be happy about? Despite the best efforts of my own Walden Woods Project, Americans remain a bunch of greedy, self-obsessed assholes who are slowly flushing our planet down the toilet like the excreted remnants of a Taco Bell dinner. Way back in 1976 I wrote a little song called “Hotel California” about what a consumptive trap our culture is. Did anyone listen? Not a chance. All I’d ever hear is “wicked guitar solo, bro” or “is colitas weed, dude?”. I’ve spent my life throwing pearls to stoned-out swine. Maybe I’d do better if I wrote the message on a bong.
I don’t want to call myself a prophet, but maybe you remember “Dirty Laundry”? The only substantial thing on the radio in 1982? Way back then, who could have foreseen how obsessed with dirt our media would get ? I’ll tell you who….ME !!!! But did anyone heed my warning? No, they were too busy “Doin’ the Neutron Dance”. Well, now wallow in the filth you created, piggies. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Don’t even get me started on the music business. What a bunch of shit fills the airwaves these days. Where are the simple melodies, four part harmonies and easy country rhythms that are the mark of real music? Rap? I don’t get it… Grunge? Give me a fucking break. If any of those goatee sportin’ creeps want a lesson in music, I’ll give them one, and it’ll come in the form of a Gucci loafer in their ass.
Get it together, people. And happy holidays.
Best of my love,
Don
p.s. Mom: the locksmith is coming to change the locks on my Malibu place on Wednesday. I expect you to leave your keys in the mailbox and be gone by the time they get there. Merry Christmas, freeloading hag.
