Richmonders (and those in Hampton Roads, VA): Support "Picasso Moon"

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

There's a cool store I went to today called "Picasso Moon" that's located in conservative Chesterfield County, VA. Apparently, there's one in the Hampton Roads area, too It's sorta a 'head shop' of sorts (Grateful Dead stuff, tie-dyed t-shirts, Beatles, Hendrix, for example, posters, incense, etc.). I'd been meaning to check it out for a while.

I immediately noticed a big "Kerry-Edwards" sign on the front door. The guy who worked there was really cool, and we struck up a conversation. I told him about DU and that I'd give a 'shout out' for his place. The coolest thing is he's giving out Kerry-Edwards stickers as well as others including (I'm reading the ones I took aside from the two K/E bumper stickers): "Bush Lies," "Republican or Democrat Vote for Change Do America Justice" (has the O with the diagnonal line through it and a drawing of W), "The World is Mad at the USA Vote for Change," and "America Take Your Country Back Vote for Change."

I bought a baja jacket, a top and a cool belt there (wanted to give the guy some business). Couldn't find a website for them.

1. "Picasso Moon" is a dead tune.

South of Market in the land of ruin
You get all manner of action
Tinsel tigers in The Metal Room
Stalking satisfaction.
They got 'em packaged up for love and money
Tattooed tots and chrome spike bunnies
Check my conscience at the DMZ
And roll on in, gonna roll in it, honey
But I get a feelin like when big things collide
Like the crack before the thunder, like I really ought to hide
And here comes Metal Angel, she looks ready to ride;
& What's that she's tryin' to show me..?
What's that you're tryin' to show me..?


Picasso Moon, shattered light
Diamond bullets ripping up the night
Picasso Moon, liberate me,
From the middle of eternity,
Something hooks her little finger at me,
An' it's bigger than a drive-in movie, ooooo-eeee.
Bigger than a drive-in movie, ooooo-eeee.

Hangin' ten out on space and time
Redefining distance.
The next skull on your necklace is mine:
Cheap for such assistance
I had a job trading bits for pieces
We'd make wrinkles, advertise them as creases
Please, find my resignation enclosed,
Roll with it, roll with it, we gonna roll in it, honey..,
Dark Angel, What's botherin' you?
So strange, you'll do me all that you do
Dark Angel, you're makin' me blue..,
I guess it doesn't matter..,
I guess it doesn't matter...


Picasso Moon, blinding ball,
Spinning fire, the lightning calls
Picasso Moon, fall into the sky
Rarin' out, I'm gonna testify
And stare a shout into that burning eye,
Bigger than a drive-in movie, oh my.
Bigger than a drive-in movie, oh my.

Strikes morning; the atomic dawn,
Scramble back to cover.
Quick, pop your mirrored sunglasses on,
My little leather-winged lover.
I see your face printed on my money,
Your blazin' ways really move me, honey..!
Heart of darkness, Yea-e-yea-e-e-hoo..,
Why'm I laughing? This ain't funny
Dark Angel, now just don't start..,
You'll break my spirit, wreck my heart
You must have a license for practisin' that art.
I don't presume to imagine.
I don't presume to imagine.


Picasso Moon, fractal flame
Blazing lace filling every frame
Picasso Moon, wheels within wheels
What's true when everything's real?
It's all new, I'm gonna scatter the seals
Bigger than a drive-in movie, for real.
Bigger than a drive-in movie, for real.

Picasso Moon, etc.

2. So I understand. It's a cool store (they even had a psychedelic VW

bus in there; some kids were playing inside it).

3. Huh, you don't say...

I get paid tomorrow, and I "work" (joke of a P/T job because Richmond Hates Me, I think) not too far away. I'll have to drop by.

4. I understand what you mean about Richmond Hates Me. Let me know how

you like the store. The only complaint is the store really smells strongly of incense. I like incense..don't get me wrong..but it's overpowering. I was hacking when I got out of there!? LOL!
