Getting back to normal. Tooth fixed, nose reset. Gonna wash the dishes and polish my boots in the morning Monkey Blue is cuddled up next to me. Oxycodone kicking in, sleep approaching rapidly.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

He makes beautiful music with it, but it pains me to look at Willie Nelson's guitar, Trigger. Below is a video of five facts about the guitar. I just learned he uses a guitar pick. That explains the hole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7IKXJ9UJVAKnox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

The man chased us in his car around the neighborhood for a half-an-hour. We were terrified and thrilled. Looking back, I think it must have been performative on his part. We never rang his doorbell to run away, again. Too scared.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

I feel that change is in the air.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

I went to a Starbucks this morning for a coffee. They were out of white sugar so I went to a hipster cafe nearby. All they had was "raw" sugar packets. That shit is not sweet and is absolutely not any healthier than refined white sugar. It's just tribal virtue signalling.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

That's right. These assholes were trying to rob my next door neighbor in the warehouse where I live. They didn't find anything. On their way out, they kicked down the between his space and mine and they saw me. They thought I could tell them where the money and weed was. I couldn't. I'm glad they didn't kill me. They sure threatened to.…

Kinda speaks to me at the moment. I didn't realize he died at 39. A drinker and a smoker and a philanderer, he died primarily of a lung infection.

In about three weeks, the old website is going to disappear. And in its place will rise a new pixels at an exhibition, with multiple contributors and curators, will appear. It’s still taking shape in my brain. Contributors are welcome. Get in touch! Stay tuned.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

I am laughing about J.D. Vances attack on Kamala Harris, and the Democrats, calling us a bunch of childless cat ladies. I am a cat lady and I have two sons and two grandchildren.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

I prefer this version to the one on the album, but both are great. I just love the more delicate sound that reflects the very vulnerable and fragile state he was in, having escaped the cocaine-feuled hellscape that almost killed him in Los Angeles.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

My friend Greg Jones wrote this beautiful ballad. It will be the only non-original song on my upcoming album. It's very rough and I will be bringing in a cellist to complete the arrangement.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

Hi, I'm looking for a new place for me and Monkey Blue, found a really cool one, but I have competition. Your thoughts and prayers appreciated.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

His killing was just the first step to undo all the progressive and civil rights legislation of the twentieth century as well as take back all the wealth from America's middle class. So far it's working pretty good. They are almost where they wanted to be all those years ago. VOTE. The illustration, "X Marks The Spot," for this episode was shot at …

Part two of "Cloud Stories" from my memoir, "The Gentlemanly Art of Spanking ~ The Rise and Fall of the HoneyBun Empire; Riding the Wild Bubble—Berkeley To Frisco To Hollywood To Vegas & Back; Intimations Of Immortality On The Technicolor Lam, Sober."Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

Porting over a few episodes from The True Hippie Chronicles Podcast. In this episode, a reading from my recently completed memoir, The Gentlemanly Art of Spanking, 'Cloud Stories, Part One.'Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

Every time I see a white butterfly, I take it to be a message from elsewhere that I am not alone and things are going to be okay. Is that crazy? Maybe. As John Lennon said, "Whatever gets through the night." And I guess I need help these days.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

The not-so-obvious, even to me, reason I let the True Hippie Chronicles podcast go.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

I love this song. Of course I need to rerecord the vocal and guitar part. I need a sax player for the instrumental break. And I think I should bring a drummer and a stand-up bass player into the studio.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

So far, I haven't come up with anything that seems right. I'm sure it will appear or manifest itself, as they say, one of these days. Nonetheless, I'm very happy with how the album is coming along.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

Leave The Beatles' music alone. Stop. Right. Now. Keep this no-talent wannabe nepo baby away from their music. All anybody needs is the MONO MIXES—They contain every bit of information and musicality the Beatles and George Martin wanted to share with us.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

Everything about this album smacks of trying to hard to be perceived as a bad boy. Good bad, not evil, as the girl said in "Leader of the Pack." Hipster rebellion signalling, forced, insincere, trying too damn hard. More appropriate for a guy fifty years younger.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

Thank you Black People for everything. Happy Juneteenth.Thank you, also, Willie Mays, my first real-life hero. You will never be forgotten.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

Inspired by the rules for living from the fake gangster of the YouTube channel Grim.Hustle, I thought I'd share some of my own rules. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy Grim.Hustle and agree with a lot of what he says. As I've always told my sons, any True Hippie can kick any OG butt any day of the week.

I witnessed a stranger's kindness to another stranger the other night in a Safeway parking lot. It was lovely to see.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

It's been over four years since I posted a version of this song. I listened to the album the other night for the first time in a year or more. Inasmuch that I don't like the sound most of my vocals—I paid a guy a lot of money to mix the album who did not know how to mix vocals (live and learn!)—the arrangements stand up. They are amazing, I don't m…

Definitely a number of essential songs on this list, but they missed a number of mind-bending classic psychedelic songs, just off the top of my head. Nonetheless, fun to think about.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble
