Dear JP Jack's son....in the summer of 2004 I CLIMBED UP ON THE ROOF OF MY MARGINAL DWELLING...an old shotgun house located on the Muses which begin the uptown swing from Lee Circle by the CBD........Clio...Calliope, Erato...Thalia...Melpomene, Terpsichore ...etcetera.... and pursuaded the then threatening hurricane IVAN roaring up the gulf to go hit Pensacola and Panama Beach which it did...oh,people evacuated New Orleans but not me...and not that one fat black lady gettin' fried chicken and beer to bring home from that one Vietnamese store that stayed open....then in 2005 Hurricane ARLENE opened the alphabet season of hurry! cana!...for I see all Hurricanes as a codified completing of Catholic idiology..the marriage feast at Cana..the turning of the water into wine is really the water ENTWINE...as words entwine...see..words. like water entwine...or better...water..like words entwine ....and after Fat Arlene in June 2005 we reach Aug.29 and what's her name....Ivan's sister, Katrina....see..I have been trying to unload my records in Russia but the slaves I mean Slavs are so-o-o-o backwards...they don't have the Internet...they have the InterNYET..they don't GOOGLE...they GOGOL....still...I would conquer her...and having vanquished her husband/son/lover/nephew IVAN..now she sends her daughter/niece KATRINA...I was up in Chicago at the time doing the ABBIEFEST...the Abbie Hoffman died for your sins festival so missed all the fun...the fried chicken...the beer...the fat black lady floating in the water....but the neighbor's roof blew off and into my yard so FEMA sent me a buncha bucks...so-o-o-o I took my frenz out for a mighty good time buying bootleg whiskey champagne and wine.....spent the year in OAKLAND...hung out at the Social Security place with all black people from New Orleans who recognized my rakish peanut hat..."You from Noo AW-linz...we kin tell..you got dat hat from Princess Diane's Funeral Parlor and Finery sto' on St. Charles Ave..." I couldn't deny it....the hat is a hit...except for two days ago when I got this part in a Brad Pitt movie shooting here in N.O. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button..."
The wardrobe exec stared at me..I was to be a peanut vendor in the movie...."That hat is too over the top..." she insisted...and they fitted me with a 1927 common peanut vendor's cap with visor....I muttered..."Yes..it's over the top of my head.." anyway...who knows...I set up all my frenz to charge the set while I'm selling Brad a Pitt-nut and then when my frenz ask for my autograph I can laugh and unload some records in Jackson Square along with Mother Russia.....so far I've gotten a song out of it...in F major...a simple folk song a hundred and thirty eight verses long...an inspired piece as you can already tell....

Marc Snegg President and CEO of newly formed Grass Roots Records (Grass Valley,Calif)... called to say, "There's been some changes". I paused. That usually means, "You've been edited out of the universe,Biff,...or at least for the record..." The record is the compilation disc Grass Roots is opening with and advertising in ARTHUR Dec 1st 2006.. a big bash is to be held in L.A. on Sun Dec 3rd to launch the label....Marc's voice last nite at six p.m. was being interrupted by a general mayhemp surrounding Hallowe'en as I prepared to hit Bourbon St. and paint faces...Lisa Lisa Thunderbolt wanted me to see Hap dressed like a Tiger..she painted white stripes on the black lab's body....they were cavorting around the living room....Juanita who speaks no or little english...Juanita my next door neighbor in this duplex..this old new orleans shotgun house....Juanita kept repeating, "Nowemvber twenty or twenty five...November twenty or twenty five.." That's when her Honduran friends are driving home to Tegucigalpa and will give me a ride to Mexico...Marc kept saying, "We decided to make it a "family" album...." and so being the ******** a president is supposed to be ...he cut off the balls of the album which is the 12 minute song...Biff Rose knows Bob Dylan's nose blows- the Second Christing of Come......"We'll put it on later...." meaning in the Springtime...I tried to pin Marc down to a Spring release of the 2nd Christing of Come...seems fittin'....plus he has to see what he's done and what he is setting in motion....his initial enthusiasm is dented out of fear someone may not like him...or his new label...he wants to take over the pop culture and with my guiding his hand he feels correct..and IS..in the new concepts as nuke-oncepts that blow the mind into a new and glowing understandings of what the POP of pop culture really means..it reduces Dylan to a has been businessman of such ordinary stature-ing and posturing....but it will take a generation to synch inn...Marc knows it's happening but because he hesitates in order to get his label launched on "nice" footing...I have to wait and set up the situation of Interpretive "control" or else people will be MIS-LED by Marc Snegg's use of the word "FAMILY".....he is "SNEGGregating Biff Rose from the family because Biff is perceived as "radical" or a RADNECK to Marc's sneggregationist tendencies.....Marc and his conception of "family" is included in Biff's far grander concept as ICON'cept these things won't be known till Spring when Marc releases the 2nd Christing of Come...should be on Good Friday so I can nail Marc...for now..I'll just pin him down...and cry on my German friends' shoulders who can not see what is happening between jew and christian or better put...more aptly put...SNEGGregationist and RADNECK....Marc's driving the bus and making me ride on top.....or under the wheels....my German friends don't quite "GET IT"...and as those who can not see are the "not sees' and can NOT seize these compu-photo opps-yo....they see KNOTS and seize knots but i can clear it up thru isolating Marc Snegg as the one who has SNEGGregated the great twelve minute song "Biff Rose knows Bob Dylan's nose blows" on which Marc plays bass....sneggregated it from the compilation album to be advertised in ARTHUR...and so....ve vait...und zee...and rapport accurately was ist....ahso..jemanden weiss....
