Exene's poetry..

[mnaz]

Went to see those '80s punk-o-billy LA rockers X recently on their reunion tour. Ears are still ringinginginginging... 'been lissenin' to their 'Wild Gift' album mostly ever since. Billy Zoom plays exquisite punk-o-billy riffs and John Doe and Exene Cervenka wrote most of the songs... Exene mostly, who does spoken word when the spirit moves. She now fronts a band called Original Sinners. She once had a band called 'Auntie Christ'. Outstanding.

A quick sample of Exene lyric-a...

"year one little babies
year one on their TVs
no AD BC AD
patriotic people sleep
like washington DC
waiting, waiting, waiting
they won't feel a thing
no dolls no debutantes
no desperate living class
no roman catholic mass
no magazines no TV
no RCA no GE
they're waiting for the son
for any son to come
year one you're 1 i'm 1
year 1 you're one i'm one"

[Dave The Dov]

They were here in Madison not too long ago.
