HOLD ON FOR ONE MORE DAY

THE GREAT OUTDOORS
THE LAST DAY OF OUR VACATION

Greetings music fans.

Isn’t the title of this post also the title of a Wilson Phillips song, you ask? Guilty. Truth be told, your Uncle Jon did a six week stint as their tour manager back in ‘92. I remember ’cause that was one of best summers of my life. Don’t get me wrong; it wasn’t ’cause of Wilson Phillips. The tour itself was a fucking bore. And Carnie would clean out the catering of all the mini-pizzas, ding-dongs and Coors Light before I could ever get any. But I did end up hooking up with Michelle Phillips. Seriously. I met her back stage at a gig when she was there to check out her daughter. And I will tell you this: even a slightly over-the-hill Michelle Phillips is still a sweeter piece of ass half the talent out there. And that’s what made it such a great summer. Plus she taught me to longboard. (Again, also a euphemism).

So yeah, the day before I go on a surfing holiday I always start the morning off singing that Wilson Phillips song. And then later I try to start a fight at the pub during lunch in order to make up for my earlier gayness.

Shine on you crazy diamonds.
