Morning Dew
Nov. 22, 1985
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

special delivery drums>space>dew deluxe, extra sauce. Phenomenal stuff from mickey and bralove/jerry/weir takes on spectacular lyrical beauty. The Dew is bombed out and demented, leans into the ravaged side of it. scrawling breakup poems by a demolition site, filthy industrial brine clogging your lifeways leading you to take solace in the abyss of an infinite unknown keeeping you at arm's length from love.

Phil has to conduct the devils to get them ready for this tsunami of nasty rippling autobahn eyes, pastry's cooked just in time for Tiger to finish the manuscript and the whole brew to write the human translation in real time. cosmic theatre.
