Chapter 62

EL GOBBLE – 10:30 A.M.

Ray is casually walking down the dock towards the boat. He hops over on the swim platform and climbs up the ladder. Dawn walks out just as Ray is getting on the deck; Dawn lets him have it. “Where in the fuck have you been? You’re an hour late, you dickhead!”

“Ah, man, I have just been digging on the morning!” Ray says. Ray pulls out a joint, fires it up, and the smoke billows up into the air. Jeff is just coming up the stairs. “Fuck! Where have you been? We gotta time table we gotta stay on, man!” Ray is not concerned. “Man, it’s fucking 9 o’clock in the morning! We got all day to get to Catalina, fuck!” Jeff is pissed. Ray continues pulling off of the pot cigarette. He offers Jeff a hit.

“Fuck man, we don’t have time for that shit right now!” says Jeff. Ray smiles and says, “Suit yourself, dude-man, I’m gonna get me some rays.” He strips off down to his Speedo. Dawn and Jeff have to laugh. It changes the mood. Nobody could look as fucking stupid as Ray in a Speedo. Ray looks around. “What?” says Ray, trying to figure out what’s up. Dawn kicks in, “You sure are some little dick boy, huh?” They laugh some more.

Ray is priceless. “Fuck you people!” He heads for the front deck. Jeff surveys everything. “It’s time to do it. All right, let’s light ‘em up!” Jeff goes to the bridge and turns the key. The engines start with almost a boom. They are gurgling diesels, sucking in the water, blowing it out the back. “Dawn, undo those lines like I showed you.” Dawn climbs off the boat. The engines are roaring in the quiet marina. The sound is bouncing off the other boats and buildings. It is a sound of power.eff guides Dawn. “Yeah, that’s it, honey. Be careful!” Dawn drops the last line and hops on the swim platform. The yacht starts making its way out of the marina. El Gobble makes the turn and heads out of the channel. Ray is laid out on the front. Dawn eases up beside Jeff and puts her arm around him. She loves the way that he smells. So clean. Ray gets up to walk back to the bridge. He sees Dawn and Jeff kissing. “Are you fucking kidding me?” is all Ray can come up with.

Excerpts from Hello Montana

Chapter 8

Willow’s Travel Court

Terry and Bridget are camped out in Weippe, Idaho on their way back to Montana. An older Chevy pick-up pulls up next to Terry, who is cleaning fish. This little hard man gets out of the truck and comes over to Terry. His face is tight and red and it seems like the skin on his face is stretched to the limit. “Where’d you git ‘em” he says? Terry looks around at points down the hill. “Down there in that little pond”. The little man looks down the hill and then back at Terry. He spits a load of dark brown juice-matter onto the earth. “There ain’t no fish down d’there!” Terry looks up from gutting the fish, “Well, then how’d I catch these?” The little man is taking it all in, it seems very important to him. “Guess you’re just magic, you know” and laughs”. Terry continues on.

The Pick-up man has a red ball cap on that says “CHEW” in capital letters. He reaches over and takes the knife out of Terry’s hand. Terry lets him have it. “Now fuck, looky here. You ain’t doin it right!” Well, just hold on. I’m-a gonna show you how to do it!” Bridget comes out of the tent. Looks over at the Pick-up man and then to Terry. She smiles and sits down on a bench pulled up next to the tent their living in.

The PU man continues the lesson for Terry. “See you hold ‘

‘em and slice like this”. He takes a downward angle the same way Terry was doing it. Terry agrees with him,” Yeah, that’s great man!” It just don’t matter. The little man gives Terry the knife back and takes a seat on the woodpile. He spits again and looks over at Terry. “You ever kill anybody?”

Terry looks at the man. Nothing fazes him anymore. There is a Zen-ness about him. It’s an easy reply from Terry,” Nope!” The pickup man squirms around a little and says, “You want to? Sure, if you do, man”. Pick-up man stands up and does a little dance and says, “All right, come on man!” They both head to the truck. PU man gets in on the drivers' side and Terry goes for the passenger side but is stopped. “Naw…..you sit in the back!” Bridgett comes back out of the tent and sees Terry in the bed of the pick-up. “Where you goin honey?” Terry reaches out his hand for hers and nonchalantly says. “Oh, we're gonna go and kill somebody?” Bridgett in all her Nordic beauty smiles. “Oh, OK! Be back before dinner, I love you!”

The truck takes off down the road. Terry looks down into the cab and sees a diet Pepsi and a shotgun. The truck turns onto another road. The truck continues to pick up speed. The truck slides around a curve and throws Terry over to one side and then another. The truck is flying. There is a 50 ft. drop-off to the right. The truck is plowing up dirt and rocks. The truck turns on a very sharp curve. It comes close to the edge. Terry just looks up at the sky and thinks about Montana.

The truck pulls into the Tanner General Store and he jumps out and runs inside and in about 2 minutes comes out with a six-pack. He throws one to Terry. “Sink your gut into that brother!” No thanks, man.” Terry throws it back to him. This confuses the little man. “What’s the fuckin’ problem? ”I don’t drink anymore,” he says. The PU man looks disgusted. He doesn’t really have a comeback for this. He goes down deep into his white-American-male side and spits out, “Well………..you queer or something?” Terry smiles ”No…………..I’m not queer”. PU Man kills the beer and throws the can in the bed and opens another one. Terry looks at the hard-edged little man.

The conversation ebbs and then. “You’re just crazy aren’t you”? The man says nothing but looks hard at Terry. It is like someone has finally seen him for the first time and is not afraid. He quietens down and softens. Terry’s words seem to bring comfort to the man. A laugh starts deep in his belly and rushes past his chest and out his mouth. “Pert’ much”, he says. The conversation ebbs again. “Yeah, I had a brother that was crazy. Always doin' things to hurt himself. You ever do shit like that, asks Terry? “Oh, all the time!” the little man says. “Well, you know I think that the people they call crazy are just really trying to find that place where they want to be. PU MAN takes another swig off the beer. “So they gotta act like that just to keep people away from ‘em cause all they’re really trying to do, is to get back home!. PU MAN sits the beer down. “That’s what I’m doing”, says Terry. The little man looks up, “Why you trying to get back home? “Well, so I can die.” The hard edge of the little man softens even more and he just sits and listens to Terry. “You know you gotta look for the good in people, cause whatever you're looking for, is what your gonna find.”

Tales from the Human Wasteland

Tabitha

East Chattanooga, Tn. 1983

Austin had barely made it out of the trailer with a kitchen knife embedded into his shoulder with the promise from his meth driven younger girlfriend Tabitha, “I’m gonna fuck you up!” Seems that Tabitha, also called “T” had found the telephone number of his ex-wife in his jean jacket. This really pissed her off. Austin had left his wife Rita two years ago

along with the 3 kids to hook up with her and she wasn’t gonna let him get away, even if she had to kill him. She loved her man.

Austin got in his truck and with fractured hope he prayed that the piece of shit would crank and it surprised him by hitting on the 1st try. He could see “T” coming out of the trailer dressed only in a soiled pair of panties. He gunned it, laughing and covered her with rocks and gravel. Austin went to the only bar in town, “The Get-Away”. He was hoping somebody could help him with the blade that was still stuck in his fucking shoulder.

He pulls up out front and gets out. He walks into the cosmic darkness with the sounds of 70’s country music blaring and that sickening stale beer smell that old fucked up bars have. He saw Kitty behind the bar and walked up. She looked at him with her mouth wide-open.

“What in the fuck, man”? Kitty says. “That fucking bitch stabbed me, she fucking stabbed me!” says Austin. Tommy the cook comes out from the back and helps Austin over to a chair. Kitty brings him a couple of shots of bourbon. “Well, what are you gonna do man” Tommy says? “Well for fucking Christ-sakes, I guess get this fucking blade out of me first!” They all kinda laughed.

About 30 minutes later Jimmy Douglas the local sheriff shows up at the bar. The blade is out of Austin’s shoulder but still bleeding pretty bad and Sherriff Jimmy looks at him with a sorryful look. “Well, I guess you mother-fuckers are gonna finally arrest that crazy bitch, right?” says Austin. The Sherriff is waiting for a good moment. “Well, we got a problem Austin”. They all three look at the sheriff. Jimmy starts off slow. “The problem is, Tabitha is dead!”

The rocks that he had spun-out with the truck hit T in the forehead; killed her instantly. Austin was arrested and charged with 2nd degree manslaughter. He’s doing 10 years to 25 years at the state prison. His ex-wife Rita visits him as often as she can and always brings the kids. Austin works in the prison library.

The Young Moderns

Me and Gina, my girlfriend had about $400 dollars between us. Not really enough to keep us high all weekend for our “Heroin Fantasy Retreat” or the code name “HFR” that we comically referred to it as. Our friends had been planning it and we would be going along. There would be lots of narcotics there this weekend. Derek always came with excess. He was good to invite even when his fat girlfriend would get too high on coke and end up on a crying binge because she thought she was so hideous looking.

Sometimes you just gotta suffer to get really good dope though and with the grade of stuff that Derek always carried you were gonna be getting high, I mean really fucking-high.

Pete was in charge of bringing the Naloxone kits. The inject-able heroin reversal antidote for overdoses. It was just considered another piece of gear for the weekend party pack. Much like bringing the beer. You have to have it just in case. A couple of times they had to use it but most people are cool with the narcotics. Is that even a coherent statement?

One weekend these crazy goof-ball mega-wealthy twins from Connecticut wanted to come to the party; do smack and ball some guys and girls. These were some serious trust-fund dope fiends my friend. Well they both passed out from smoking the shit and had to be revived and dam if as soon as they came out of the overdose phase they wanted to do some more. What a couple of whacked bitches. One of my friends heard that the Heidi twin had o’d and died in Paris and her sister Wendy decided to stop doing all drugs and become a Hindu and she moved to India to live in the filth and the disease. She said it was her way of giving back to the world. What the fuck?

I always loved taking the train to the “Dope Estate”. We would all meet at the station in mid-town Manhattan and get a large suite car and party all the way to Upper New York State. There was plenty of champagne, whiskey and weed to do but no serious fucking narcotics yet. It was about a 3-hour ride. On this trip there were 11 of us. One of the girl’s boyfriends didn’t want anything to do with a planned “Heroin Weekend Fantasy” in the Catskills. Who could blame him, the stupid fuck!

Phillip’s parents had a killer cabin, well it wasn’t exactly a cabin it was more like a 2000-acre estate but to us it was just “the cabin”. It was way up on the back side of this mountain and I mean there was nothing fucking there. It was really dark and private. The perfect place for some spoiled, misguided douche bag youth to “kick out the jams, motherfucker” and live an over the edge lifestyle for a few days. Kinda like the dope fiends back in New York but only with nicer surrounding and groovy clean people that just loved you. We referred to our club as “The Young Moderns”. It was such a cool inside joke for all of us trust fund junkies. I think it was Rusty that had some hats made up with that on the lid. It was pretty cool to wear them back in town and just let people ask you what it meant. I would always say something like” nothing you fuck head” unless I thought the guy might beat my ass or something then I just made something else up. I was a real cut-up, but I could afford to be. My life was set, all I had to do was not die and fuck it all up. It sounds easy, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not my brother. You just never know where you might get it. Be aware, oh kind soul.

As soon as we got in the cabin the base started. I mean grams of coke being fired up. Huge mounds of smoke coming in and out of our lungs. Man I was so fucked up I went outside with my buddy Lars and started chopping wood. I guess we cut a chord. It was a lot. Enough to keep the home fires burning for the weekend. Back in the house there was that putrid smell of melting crack. Oh what a great smell. Oh how I loved it, oh how I wanted it in my lungs. Oh, my!

The way the weekends were setup for the first several hours or so we just did base. There were 9 bedrooms in the place. So there was a lot of balling going on. We probably did about 3 ounces of coke those 1sts few hours and were totally crazy. The plan was to do coke until it just wasn’t fun anymore and we wanted to go the other way. You know, come down. Move into a purple glide from the mind-bending cocaine. Then the beauty drug would be brought out. The one we had all been craving. The most beautiful drug in the world. Heroin. Lots of heroin. We wanted to fuck and be fucked by the beautiful powder. It was an addiction yes but a really cool one because we all could afford it and anyway it was just for a couple of days. Not enough time to get a Jones or anything like that. I mean we were respectable. We all had a future. Not like some clown trying to make it out in the world. We were already there. On the inside. With the magic numbers, the secret handshake and the address of the swank city gothic hostel hosted by Jim Morrison, the lizard man. Get the behind me Satan.

It must have been about 4 am. I had started detaching my spirit from the coke and was settling into a beautiful, blissful heroin journey. Some of the others were lying on the floor. We were fucked up. The fire was burning low. Noland and this beautiful girl I had never seen before went outside to smoke a cigarette or something. I was obviously nodding out. The fire was crackling, and you could hear Chet Baker. Chet had been playing non-stop for 20 hours or so. The same CD over and over. I think it was called “Diane”. Definitely the best heroin dream music I had ever heard. It caught the essence of the feeling of opiate heaven.

Then !!

The most awful thing I had ever heard in my life. Was that a scream? It was so shocking that it made my head snap backwards. What the fuck? Then it happened again. I felt my chest cave in from the pressure of the scream. It stopped. Then it started again, only worse. What the fuck was going on?

Me and Lars and Charlie somehow made it to the front door and turned on the properties search lights. I mean it looked like a fucking football field out there or something. We walked out and everything was quiet. All of a sudden, we saw this huge mass of hair run into the light. We almost died standing there. It was a bear must have been 1200 pounds and half of the little chickie’s body was hanging out of its mouth. The bear stopped and looked at us, growled and lunged forward a bit. We ran back in the house. Everybody was freaking. The girls were screaming and crying. I noticed my teeth were even gnashing as we tried to explain what was happening. Meanwhile the bear continued to chow down on the little chick basically swallowing her whole from the knees down. Then the bear causally walked back over to the edge of the property and drags the guy back out. He was only missing his head. The bear, almost in a prideful way stood there and ate the rest of that body like he was at a fine French restaurant in Midtown and was waiting to see the desert list. After he had feasted, he looked over at the house and turned to leave and his one last act of “bear-ism” was to take a piss on some of the innards that were left over. Then he just disappeared into the woods.

A few weeks after the funerals to bury what was left of my two friends, I was trying to get to this art gallery to pick a painting my mother had bought. On the way over I happened to turn up Paley Street. I saw this girl walking towards me with a group of friends that were partying hard for it to be 4PM on Wednesday. They were singing a Boy George song “Do you really want to hurt me”. I noticed as they walked by this little chick was wearing a pink hat that looked familiar. On the front was stitched, “The Young Moderns”.

Where in the fuck did, she get that?

Welcome To Mouthfull

1st Season Treatment

Episode 1: Johnny and LouJean

The day starts off as most days do at JohnnyElvis’shack. LouJean on top yelling, “Fuck me Johnny, Fuck me Johnny”. As JohnnyElvis gets up to go to the bathroom he asks LouJean if “you think we got’er done this time”? LouJean says she’s sure of it because the “Sweet Baby Jesus” came to her in a dream last night and told her “her time was at hand”.

On out into the living area LouJean prepares breakfast with “America’s Most Wanted Fugitives“blaring on the TV. She serves up one of JohnnyElvis’s favorite meals. Vienni Sausages and eggs with all the water poured in.

JohnnyElvis is not happy when he finds out that the battery cables he needs have been borrowed by the “The Twins”. He’s out the door to fetch them and runs into Wendell Pardue in his old Ford. Wendell owns the local bait shop and is the town’s unofficial philosopher.

JohnnyElvis hates going over to “The Twin’s” house. They are very creepy in their cocktail dresses and dark shades. There has always been a question into the murder of their parents and their possible involvement. The Twins run a café known as “The Pickle Café”. Their specialty is “The Pickle Sickle”. Frozen dill pickle juice on a stick. The Twins are also rumored to be in a sexual relationship.

Some of the regulars come by Wendell’s bait shop. First in this morning are the Dell Brothers. Lou Dell, P. Dell and Bill Dell. Lou Dell had been nicked by a rattler in the barn and his head is swelled up like a watermelon. Little Jimmy No-Balls comes in to get some grubs to go fishing with. Jimmy’s nemesis is Papa Ray, a mean, large black dog who is always trolling the city for Jimmy. Two years ago Papa Ray ate off Jimmy’s nut sack one morning when he found him passed out in a ditch.

LouJean calls her Mama after Johnny leaves and tells her she is pregnant. This happens 3-4 times a week. Mama is happy. Her husband Ed just took delivery of two 6-ft plus Eastern Diamond Back Rattlers. Ed is in charge of the “snake handling” down at the “Mountain Free Will Church”. Ed is very proud of his vipers.

JohnnyElvis meets up with his band members down at Todd’s Recording Studio. They are running through a new song called “White Trash Girl”. Todd thinks it’s a hit and good enough to be on the radio. Todd wants to take it to this manager he knows “Cy Simon” down in Knoxville to hear. Johnny gives the go ahead and the band gets busy on the bong.

During the Wednesday night prayer service LouJean gets up in front of the church and asks for all the Faithfull to pray for Johnny’s sperm to get up inside of her to make a baby. Pastor Tabor and his wife are shaken.

Wendell has a wet dream at his house while watching “DEATH SLAM WRESTLING”. Ronnie and Connie cash talk about moving to the Everglades. The Dell Brothers invade the “Pickle” and cause a commotion with The Twins and Ma Pecker and her whores from “The Hit ‘n Go”.

JohnnyElvis gets a call from Todd saying that the manager, CY Simon wants to have a meeting with him possibly for a recording contract and management deal. JohnnyElvis meets CY and his secretary LuAnn. Who develops an immediate sexual attraction to LouJean!

JohnnyElvis signs the deal. His life is about to change in a big way.

Ma Pecker and her whores, Penny, Tina and Georgia are having a morning discussion about servicing some of the clients. Especially The Dell Brothers and their attraction to “light bondage”. Ma encourages the girls to keep the faith, provide the service for the community and try to fuck everything in Choctaw County. The whores feast on grits and eggs.

JohnnyElvis and LouJean go fishing down at the Caney Fork River. LouJean is impatient and keeps pulling up her line to look at it. This annoys Johnny. LouJean throws her pole down and heads for the car. Johnny’s hooks into a big fish and LouJean runs back down to the river bank to help. They end up in the car with LouJean screaming “Fuck me Johnny, Fuck Me Johnny”. They drive home naked and start singing “I’m going to Jackson” as the sun fades down.

The town council is meeting to discuss the annual July 7th “Coon Festival”. A yearly event that has gone on for the last 80 years. Sheriff Tripper and Wendell want JohnnyElvis to headline but Harvey wants a band called “The Devils Child” to play. Widow Jones is against that because they are a satanic band. Harvey tells the Widow Jones to “blow me”! The meeting adjourns with JohnnyElvis headlining for the 8th year.

JohnnyElvis is at the studio with Todd when a call comes in from CY Simon. CY tells JohnnyElvis that he has set up his 1st radio interview on the Lester Pettigrew morning show. JEC is very excited and Todd is happy too. The band guys hit the bong.

The interview at “The Lester Pettigrew Morning Show” on WJKV does not go very well. It seems Lester is afflicted with “Sleep Apnea” and passes out on the mic for several minutes before re-awakening. When Lester comes to they talk about the doins’ up in Mouthfull this weekend and “The Coon Festival”.

Aaron and Noble take some of the LSD they have brought with them up at Indian Falls. They stay up on the mountain all night. The next day they are still very psychedelic and come into town and find out about “The Coon Festival”. They are very thirsty and go by the food tent where they discover “Watermelon Punch”. After drinking several cups they lace the remaining 30 gallons of the punch with 200 hits of LSD so their friends in Mouthfull can experience the beauty.

After a couple of hours the crowd has ingested all of the punch. The effects of the LSD gets the whole town tripping. It turns into a sorta “Mini-Hillbilly Woodstock”. JEC and LouJean arrive and don’t know what to make of it. There are naked people everywhere, people having sex and poor LouJean even see’s her sweet mama on all fours doing the nasty. The National Guard has to be called in and Little Jimmy asks Wendell to be his Daddy.

Episode 3: Do Me In Vegas

The good Pastor Tabor likes to relax fiddling around with his CB Radio on the weekends. Just good clean Christian fun. He breaks in on a couple of guys talking about fishing. The Pastor starts to irritate them with his obscene remarks. Like “I got a hole you can have”! This is the Dick police boy! And “I’d like to cut into your ass! Pastor Tabor thinks this is very funny. The CB’ers just want to kill his ass. His wife, Doris is concerned about how much time he spends on the CB but he assures her it’s just “good clean Christian fun”.

The morning starts off as usual with LouJean screaming “Fuck me Johnny, Fuck me Johnny”! Later on LouJean is out on the porch washing some clothes and hanging them to dry. A phone call comes in from LuAnn looking for JEC. She talks with LouJean and feels her body start to squirm with the thoughts of her and LouJean and JohnnyElvis sexually. CY gets on the phone. He has had a call from Las Vegas and he has booked JohnnyElvisCash into one of off-the-main drag hotels. He will headline! JEC is shocked and deeply affected by the news. He walks out of the house out into the yard and falls down and starts moaning and crying and just acting crazy. LouJean jumps off the porch and runs to Johnny. “What’s the matter babe? What’s the matter babe? JohnnyElvis weakly responds with “I done been booked in Vegas” and starts blubbering again. They are going into Knoxville to meet with CY to get all the info and tickets they will need. LouJean is so excited she calls her Mama and of course Mama is over the top. JEC tells LouJean to go out and buy some Vegas type cloths. She goes to the only high fashion place in Mouthfull, “Monique’s House of Fashion”. LouJean spots a red, sequined over-the-top Dolly Parton style pantsuit and wants to try it on. Monique has to give LouJean a pair of panties because JohnnyElvis “don’t like her wearing drawers”. LouJean’s Mama warns her about being careful in “that city of sin”.

CY has JohnnyElvis come in for another meeting with LouJean and the bad news is delivered. LouJean cannot go because there is not enough money in the budget. She is heartbroken and crying her eyes out at the office.JEC does not know what to do, he is torn. CY reassures him that this will be better so he will not have any other responsibilities other than being a star. LuAnn tries to console LouJean. LouJean puts her head into Luann’s breast and hangs on so tight. She looks up at her and the moment strikes. She is so close; Luann leans down and puts her lips on LouJean’s. LouJean does not turn away. CY’s office door opens and she jumps up dazed but turned on. They decide that LouJean should stay at LuAnn’s while JEC is gone. LuAnn’s body twitches with excitement. LouJean is not very happy about her man going to Vegas without her.

The band is pissed off because they are not going. Todd tries to mediate. A decision is made that JEC needs someone to go with him to Vegas. Wendell is asked to go. They arrive in Vegas and are picked up with a Limo. The suite is gigantic and typical chrome and black Vegas with hot tub in the living room. JohnnyElvis goes to rehearsal and is told he will be using the 46 piece orchestra with the dancing girls. Wendell goes downstairs to the Casino and starts hitting 7’s at the craps table and attracts the attention of two hard core working girls. Wendell thinks they are models.

Wendell goes to another hotel and the party really starts. Wendell is doing blow and having sex with several people and is dressed completely in drag. It gets so out of hand that the police are called and Wendell is taken to jail.

Meanwhile the show that JohnnyElvisCash always wanted to do goes up in smoke. It is a disaster. JEC runs off the stage and out into the street and keeps running.

LouJean and LuAnn get into a bubble bath together and get to know each other better. LuAnn realizes that LouJean misses Johnny so much and decides to get LouJean a plane ticket to go to Vegas against the wishes of CY. LouJean is afraid to fly so she takes the bus instead.

JohnnyElvis gets back up at the suite and there is still no Wendell. He waits. Finally a call from Wendell, he tells JEC he is in jail and to come get him. He also tells Johnny to bring him some clothes. JEC says they are leaving this “shit-hole Vegas” tonight. Wendell agrees and finally breaks down and tells Johnny that he has “sinned, really sinned”. They decide that it all stays in Vegas.

LouJean finally arrives in Vegas after a two day bus trip to find that Johnny has left. On her way out she put a quarter in a slot and pulls the handle and hits the $50,000 grand prize. She walks out of the casino with $50K in cash. She sees a young Hispanic couple coming out of the “Little Angel Wedding Chapel”. They look so happy. LouJean stops the couple and hands them the cash. All of it! LouJean leaves Las Vegas happy.

Two days later JohnnyElvisCash meets LouJean at the bus and they rush to hug each other. They get in the car and start the drive back to Mouthfull. With the sun going down they start singing “I’m Going To Jackson”. Dog has his head hanging out the window biting at the breeze. All is good in their world.

Episode 4: Nashville Skyline Part 1

Johnny and LouJean decide to get a new TV but LouJean gets really mad at JohnnyElvis when he cusses and her and storms out of the room. This leads to another round of “Fuck me Johnny, Fuck me Johnny!

Since he got back from the Vegas fiasco JEC has gone back to playing gigs and writing and hanging around the house more with LouJean. Life feels good and LouJean is very happy but some new songs put the focus back on the music and he and CY get back together to try and figure what to do next. CY comes up with the formula.

CY sets up JohnnyElvis’s first trip to Nashville to write with some of the really big time hit songwriters. JEC has never co-written with anyone but is willing to give it a try. LouJean is not very excited at all until she finds out that she is going too.

They drive to Nashville at night and on the radio JohnnyElvis and LouJean hear Reba singing “Just a little love”. That turns the romance machine on and they end up hitting an exit and in the back of a truck stop you hear the immortal screams of LouJean. “Fuck Me Johnny, Fuck Me Johnny”!

Bubba Poindexter, the KING OF HILLBILLY PORN in East Tennessee is getting a dusting from his midget porn star “Little Fancy”. She also works the phones. Bubba’s discuses next week’s shooting schedule with his director, Rodney. The Japanese have a fascination seeing 2 bearded hillbilly types nailing a fat girl in a barn with some animals standing around. He makes huge money from their needs. Rodney is pushing for gay porn but Bubba tries to explain why girl on girl is OK and boy on boy ain’t! They can’t agree but Bubba is boss.

JEC and LouJean hit the city limits of Nashville, Music City. They exit at Murfreesboro Road and pull into the 1st motel they see. It’s called “The Music City Roadway Inn”. It is a dump but LouJean thinks it very nice because they got an ice machine and a pool. The motel manager books them in and asks if JEC is a songwriter.

Malcolm and the fat blonde run down to the car. Malcolm wades out in the water and pulls JohnnyElvis out of the car. He gets him to the bank. He is not breathing. He tries to blow air into his lungs.

Suddenly an angel of the Lord descends and appears at the river bank. The angel is radiant and as bright as the sun. He looks at Johnny and then back at Malcolm. When he looks at Shawna she is immediately struck down dead and falls to the ground. Malcolm is scared and in tears. The angel smiles at him.

EXT: HWY 15 – NIGHT

The Angel speaks to Malcolm.

"You will live but Shawna could not. She is unclean".

The Angel moves closer to Malcolm.

"Put out your hands"

Malcolm does as the Angel says. He is struck down by the power and falls hard to the ground. The Angel communicates with him thru the silence. He tells Malcolm, to arise and do wrong no more. Malcolm comes to and sees the Angel. In an instant the Angel ascends up and it is quiet again. Malcolm gets to his knees. His tears come down as blood on his face. He sees Shawna lying on the ground. There is no pain on her face. She is peaceful. She looks happy. Her sins are forgiven. Malcolm gets to his knees and looks at JohnnyElvisCash.

CUT TO:

EXT: HWY. 15 – NIGHT

A warm breeze rustles through the trees. It goes right thru Malcolm’s body. He continues to pray. Distant sirens can be heard rushing towards the scene where JohnnyElvis lifeless body lies.

TWANGSTAR RECORDING

American Pie

A Beautiful Day

Twist

Thank you Lord for this day

TWANGSTAR RECORDING was first put together in 1988. I started with a TASCAM Porta-Studio, a 4-track cassette setup. I got one of the 1st drum machines an Alesis HR 16 and I was off to the races. I love recording and for the last 33 years, everything I have recorded was at one of the incarnations of TWANGSTAR RECORDING. I recollect there have been (9) all together. When I moved to Nederland Colorado in 1991 that is when I really started looking for the right setup and I went thru everything. I took a 1-inch TASCAM recorder and a 32 Mackie to Colorado with me and that is where I recorded THE LIGHT PINK ALBUM on that setup. It wasn't long before I went crazy and bought an MCI 24 Track / 2 inch and also got a TAC Matchless 36 Chn. board. Three of the studios were installed on Yachts out in Marina Del Rey and one in Malibu, then back to Nashville. Left Nashville in 2017 and moved to a cabin in Kentucky. From there I relocated to where I am now,
