Okay, yes, it was a very high-powered party. Bob Dylan was there. Aretha Franklin was there. Bruce Springsteen was there. The person who left the biggest impression on me, though, was Melissa Etheridge, who got to talking with me and Remo at one point, and then Remo got dragged away, and then it was just […]
We flew out of Newark at a halfway reasonable hour, but that still meant getting up too early for my liking to get our asses to the airport, and Barrett was all apologies that we were not in First Class, but as I kept telling him, I actually did not give a fuck about whether […]
Hello, my dearests, how have you been? ctan here, and what a wild three four years it has been. It’s almost hard to remember that I hit “post” on the final chapter-chapter (before the epilogue) at the end of January 2020, and then got on a plane to Italy. I knew there needed to be […]
It was a fifteen minute drive to the Pizza Hut. When I got there the pizzas were ready, and probably already getting somewhat cold, but I hurried over to the pay phone by the restroom to call Ziggy back.
Time both slows down and speeds up when you’re not doing a lot. When every day is the same, they seem to take forever, and yet because they leave little impression, thinking back on it you can’t tell how much time has gone by. Which is another way to say I don’t know how long […]
And here’s the final piece of art of Daron and Ziggy we have for the anniversary celebration! I can’t even remember how the idea of the strawberry came up. The artist was asking me about their relationship and talking about Daron coming out of his shell and somehow we got to Daron feeding Ziggy a […]
Today’s chapter is coming at the usual time (barring technical difficulties) but here’s today’s art for an early start! And don’t forget to join Daron for a chat from 8-9p and me tonight on YouTube at https://youtu.be/Xmew_g9ktp8 from 9p-10p eastern time! The ring’s effect on Ziggy has been profound, hasn’t it? I think he was […]
This is a really fun one, no? And I have some song lyrics for you today. Ziggy wrote this really raunchy one he called “Drugs, Sex, and Rock and Roll” while he was working with Jordan on his solo record, and in the end they cut it as too raunchy. But I thought you all […]
Funnily enough, when I gave artists the choice between drawing Ziggy or drawing Daron, they tended to choose Ziggy. Not that I (or Daron) mind that at all. Ziggy’s very pleasing to look at. 🙂 I have another really really old tidbit for you guys now. This is the first time I tried to write […]
Do you see a little angst in this image? Daron and Ziggy in Ziggy’s apartment in New York. It doesn’t match the description, but does match the emotion in this scene: The only light in the apartment came from the streetlights and the bluish glow of the numbers on the VCR. I could see no […]
