norse phelps mcdaniels was born under a full moon / / all the numbers in birthday
add up to one / january 11 1971 / / the only child of mary and james mcdaniels
mary could never carry a birth to term / with the exception of her third birth
of norse / black haired / full lung red face scream
norse was born / named after his great grand father norse of the mcdaniels clan
the birth was difficult / mary had been badly beaten
by norse's father / one drunken james phelps mcdaniels laid his vicious paws upon
mary / for being a whore no less / / mary didn't know any thing about whoring tho
james beat her since she was 15 years old / the time he took her from her father's house
'now you be looking after this girl of mine. don't be putting up with any mouth from her.
just make sure she gets to church on sundays. she likes to pray that girl. "
you know, and her father placed her into the hands of james / & james's bottle called
sweet sally /
norse dreams to be a rock star / he's a melancholy baby / once he wrote
a poem
lolly pops actually melt / they are milk
i'm sad in this big world / yet no bones fall down around me
his mother is dead by his tenth birthday. cancer. grief surrounds him.
his father's hands surround him. fists they say. don't talk to me. me & sally's on a date
james locks himself in the basement with sally, the phone number to U-Need-A-Bottle
the remote control. norse brings him the tv guide every friday morning from the mailbox
until the subscription runs out about six moths after his mother's death. james never talks
to norse. nor norse to james. every night norse takes a sandwich and / or a bowl of campbell's
tomato soup.
why do you always bring me this shit. i want some real food damnit. he throws the hot
soup at norse. blood blood / it looks like blood / his face burns his hands burn / he feels
his father's drunken fist / his rage / drive into the back of his head / he feels his face hit
the floor / red red / black out.
after that norse couldn't remember very good / like for example he told me / he couldn't
really remember when james died / and that he certainly didn't remember putting rat poison
in old sally's bottle when james was passed out / rockford files blaring in the back ground
james garner was always james' favourite actor / he doesn't remember calling the police
i don't know what's wrong with my dad. he won't wake up. he's been drinking with
old sally in the basement. who sally? no that's just what my dad calls his bottle.
he's been drinking cheap beer lately. they deliver it. no. i'm sure my dad is dead or something. can you send someone to look? a doctor or something
& the whirr whine of ambulances shoots up carmine street. a police car shows up first.
Sodium Fluoroacetate (1080) is a water soluble salt of very high mammalian toxicity which is used mainly as a rodenticide. It is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract but is not readily absorbed through the intact skin.
he's down here. my dad is down here. the 2 cops follow norse down the stairs.
james lays on the couch. there are 5 empty beer cans on the coffee table. four more on the floor.
"thirsty. i'm so thirsty. " james comes up stairs in the day time for the first time in months.
he stinks. he's red eyed. boy! get me something to drink. water. get me some fucking water.
i feel sick. "
with that james collapses to the floor holding his stomach. "oh my stomach. it must be cancer.
boy! where's that water. call me a doctor boy. make your self usefull for a change."
norse just stands there. he's not sure what else to do. (get him some water norse) so norse
gets him a glass of water. norse also pulls a bottle of old grouse from the cupboard. it was mary's. norse found it hidden in the kitchen after she died.
a teacup. she drank old grouse from a tea cup when she baked cookies or deep fried anything
like doughnuts. mary's mother's recipe. it's the only thing her mother ever showed her. 8th child from 14. on sundays. after church. mary baked. made sweets. sweets for my boys. norse's mouth water's thinking about those donuts with sugar sprinkle. just a bit of icing sugar. & theres some for your nose. norse was looking for sweets the day he found the bottle of whiskey. the same day norse found the poison in his father's workshop.
XXRAT-KILLERXX
do you have any books about poison. the librarian looks at norse cold eyed. as if she's never seen him before. or can't be bothered to talk to a child.
speak up son. books about what? poison. i want to read about poisons for a report for school
i'm thinking about poisoning my dad. oh dear child didn't your mother ever tell you it's not polite to poison people particularly your father. oh where is your mother child. my mother's dead. my father killed her. now i'm going to exact revenge for her death. for these black eyes and these black dreams that chase me like poison . .
the librarian looks at him incredously. what grade are you in child? poison. a report about poison. what poisons did you have in mind?
well, actually all the poisons. um well i just want to write a report about what is in poison
what it is they give to rats and other pests.
the librarian stands up from behind her desk. follow me. i think we have some books about poison in the science section. are you going to be a scientest when you grow up?
no i don't think so. not a scientist. may be a poet. maybe a bird. i'm not quite sure yet. something that is free, that flies. something that doesn't know how to make canned soup.
i'm not sure 'mam. i'm only in 7 grade this year. this year. yes 'mam, i'm 12. uhuh. my mama used to say that to me too. beautiful blue eyes. eyes like the ocean. a face to break a ladies heart.
she hands him a book. thin grey cover. the same colour as elephant hills in winter. it's grubby. worn. it's bound with plastic rings.

Sodium Fluoroacetate (1080) is rapidly absorbed fthrough the gastrointestinal tract, the oral route being the most important in cases of poisoning.
this poison must be handled with much caution by the poisoner
THERE IS NO ANTIDOTE TO 1080
ONLY THE TREATMENT OF THE SYMPTOMS
Symptoms and signs: begin to appear 30 minutes to two hours after ingestion. The first indication of poisoning is nausea and mental apprehension with facial twitching and numbness, generally followed by epileptiform convulsions. After a period of several hours pulsus alternans may exist followed by ventricular fibrillation and death. Children appear to be more subject to cardiac arrest than to ventricular fibrillation.

oh the smell of whiskey norse. never trust a man with the smell of whiskey on his breath. norse tips the bottle to his lips. feels the burn of alcohol against his red lips, against his gums, along his tongue. gasp. no ma, i'll never trust a man with whiskey on his breath. and oh come here you bastard. hey dad. hey james. here's a glass of water for you. and here's that bottle of old grouse i was telling you about.

distortion - about a song
ya so you see i wrote this song called distortion. i think it was after a bad dream i had. something about when my dad died. you know both my parents died when i was a kid. yeah i was pretty young. my mom died when i was 10. & my old man, i think he died when i was 11 or 12 or something like that. i can't really remember. see, i took this fall when i was a kid. knocked out a bunch of teeth. there is still numbness oh the side of my cheek bone. i remember my dad, his names was james, i remember coming to, he was holding me. wiping blood off my face with a big red cloth. his face looked so distorted.
open your eyes you little fucker. i'm gonna go to jail if you don't open your eyes. they are going to know i did this too you. clot. blood. black. ohhh it hurts. his head. his eyes. his face. dad?
i donno, i think he was freaked out. it was right after my mother died. i fell down the basement stairs, banged my head. ever since i just can't think right. not always mind you. mostly if i'm stressed or something. it's like. i blackout. can't see a god damn thing. can't remember a god damn thing oh it's too hard to describe. mostly i just write music. distortion is a great song. i wrote it after i woke up from a dream. night mare. hey boy. looks like you gonna be eating soup for a while. oh your poor mother, she'd be in tears if you she saw you with those teeth missing.
DISTORTION© lyrics by Norse Phelps Mcdaniels
you know you're not my father anyway
mary made plans, made her get away
and you just pound on her dear soul
you pound on my dead soul
oh oh oh oh yeahhhhhhh
your face is distortion
i know it by proportion
yeah distortion
yeah distortion
your face looks like an abortion
oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
distortion
what? the abortion? oh yeah the line in the song. well. it doesn't mean anything really. i just thought it sounded good. controversial or something. ya ya distortion rhymes with abortion.
you know boy i'm surprised you weren't an abortion too. your mother the holy slut. i caught her down there at the abortion clinic. dragged her ass back home. gave her the beating she deserved.
you want an abortion bitch. i'll give you an abortion. full blow to the belly.
the immature fetus is still relatively safe at ten weeks from the effects of blows to the body such as a fall down a staircase or even a traffic accident.
bam. bam. bam. one two three. joe boxer. so you want to kill the baby. like you killed all them other babies. bam bam bam. mary lays on the floor of the living room groaning. blood pours from her mouth. her lip. my lip. my lip is bleeding. puts her hand to her mouth. finger inside her mouth. tooth knocked out. front tooth. toothless bitch. toothless wonder. amazing how i can stand the sight of you. must be good for something. bam bam bam. on your knees bitch. let me show you a little prayer. his dirt stains her mouth. bitter. and he oh oh ohs. oh precious mary. he zips up his pants, goes into the kitchen and pours him self a drink.
our father who art in heaven
so yeah like abortion. well i don't really have any opinion about it. some people are for it. some people are against it. me i just like the way it sounds in a song. there used to be punk band called the abortions and i think it's a really cool name.
i don't know why my dad has been laying there like this. out side the red and blue. blue and red of sirens moaning and lights flashing. the cops are following him through the kitchen. who lives here? i live here with my dad. my mom? mom is dead. she died. cancer. a gun and a billy club on his belt. my dad is down here. a flashlight. wonder why he would need a flash light. he's not breathing he won't wake up. he's right down here. laying on the couch.
tv blares. orange curtains are drawn. gilligan visits the howells. oh lovey, would you pass that to gilligan please. i think he was drinking beer last night. no no. not this morning. i saw him last night. drinking beer. he said he had a stomach ache. holly wood laugh track fills the back ground. the cop doesn't touch james. just stands there. back and away. can you turn on the light down here son? some thing a bit stronger than the lamp in the corner. he pulls out a note book. what did you say your name was again son. norse? can you spell that for me. he talks into his cop radio. hey this 2949. is that ambulance on it's way yet? ginger runs her finger along gilligans t-shirt collar. the skipper mops his head. more laughter. the room smell stale. piss. beer. smoke. see you fucker. this room smells like you. this is what you will smell like to me. forever. dad. james. you are stale piss smoke beer anger. you are dead dad. and i am happy
do you think he's going to be okay. is my dad gonna start breathing soon. where is the ambulance. why aren't you helping my dad?
have you ever seen someone convulse. it's like really gross. it's like they shake and their eyes roll in the back of their heads. and they start choking too. sometime when people have convulsions they pee their pants. once i heard about this guy who pooped his pants too. really gross. well no. i've never actually seen someone have a convulsion. but there used to be this guy in my home room class who would have, like, epileptic seizures. and there was this girl who used to eat sugar, you know like, cause she said she was getting dizzy, blacking out. once she fell to the floor. i ran to the cooking room and grabbed sugar. i saved her life. i think i did. but no oo, i don't think i've actually seen someone convulse, like shit their pants or anything.
generally followed by epileptiform convulsions. After a period of several hours pulsus alternans may exist followed by ventricular fibrillation and death. Children appear to be more subject to cardiac arrest than to ventricular fibrillation.
he stands at the top of the stairs. norse listens to the grunt wheeze. oh my fucking god. his hand hits the table. empty beer cans. he gasping. oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck.
oh holy mary
full of grace
he sucks in his last suck of breath. norse sits down on the top stair. catches his breath.

well, you know, i wasn't always just a punk rocker, like you know, i've been a gay man too. lived the life style. i mean it wasn't always about being gay, sucking mens dicks and running around with limp wrists. it was more like, he flips his hands over shakes them out. i've dated a lot of women. i've been to hollywood. hung out with the stars. sure i've walked up sunset strip. Sepulveda Boulevard. hollywood boulevard. there's a lot of traffic in LA - city of angels - i love that name. i remember the first time i ever heard that expression. city of angels. you know and it just seemed like such a perfectly wicked oxymoron. i mean really i never met an angel i didn't like or an alcoholic i didn't love. lol. i mean - - oh my hands are sore again. i get that when the weather changes. my fingers ache. i'm not sure why. i'm not really that old. i'll be 50 next june. but that's just between you and me. lights a cigarette. menthol. i've smoked menthol for years baby. i think they suite me. i've always been a long and lean type of fellow. kinda like norse. he was beautiful. he was gay too. he'd never admit it tho. silly bugger. always had a woman oh his arm. but if he had his druthers. i mean if there was a hot man in a room and norse wanted him. well. wouldn't matter if the guy was standing there with his wife. norse could always get him. he told me.
bertram if there is one way to a mans pocket book. you can be sure it's through his cock. nothing beats a good blow job. now suck me you silly faggot. & i'll play a song for you. taking you shopping. oh norse he was so funny. he always made me laugh. he treated me well. it was kinda like i was the father he never had. you know his father died when he was quite young. very trumatic you know. appearantly norse found him. choked to death on his own puke. whispers. can you believe it? i mean what a terrible thing. can you imagine? oh yes oh yes. that's common knowledge. cancer. well. one can say cancer, but if you ask me, i think his mother died from a botched abortion. but don't ever repeat that. oh i shouldn't have even said that too you. cause the next thing you know, it's in the papers, all those gossip columns and then someones yelling lawsuite - - do you know how hard it is too get a job wiping asses of half dead silent film stars. i mean, it's not hard getting a job like that with all the experience i have, they almost can't pay you enough to wipe cary grant's shrivelled shitty asshole. believe me i've seen it all. but i'm not really at liberty to discuss this with you .
i think we should just stick to norse. talking about dear norse. oh i'd give my left nut to wrap my arms around that boy. so beautiful. the bluest eyes you ever saw. and smooth. but you know not very street wise. well street wise. yes he was street wise in that punk rock sort of way. but money and business, oh poor norse. he just could never figure it out. you know and especially after he went big. you know REALLY BIG. oh i remember. norse everywhere. magazines. you couldn't turn on the tv and NOT see norse. always smiling. such a rakish smile too. the cameras loved him. and norse he loved the camera too. there's nothing he wouldn't do for the camera. okay baby, just turn your face to the camera. oh such a sexy boy. here comes papa. okay be a good boy now.
well i should n't really tell you this and this is strickly off the record. but norse shot porn for a while. just before he made it big. actually that's where i first met him. i was caring for this old bastard, i won't say who. just some hollywood biggy who was really into boy porn . so much he made his own movies. like the old prick didn't have enough money. he made a killing. & of course it was just when
well i should n't really tell you this and this is strickly off the record. but norse shot porn for a while. just before he made it big. actually that's where i first met him. i was caring for this old bastard, i won't say who. just some hollywood biggy who was really into boy porn . so much he made his own movies. like the old prick didn't have enough money. he made a killing. & of course it was just when norse was first getting into the business. well, he wasn't really in the business, he was just hanging around with a bunch of punk rock junkies. but you know he was broke and well, you know - these things just happen sometimes- i mean i'm eternally gratefull for the fact that norse went into porn or i would have never met him - i mean norse was never hard cord - he never took it up the ass or anything - he was more like the pretty boy fluff that sat along the sidelines.
& see the different between norse and all those other boys is norse well he wasn't as wrapped into the junk as the rest of them. he didn't really like needles. he always told me needles give me the willies, i don't want to get high & lay around with all them bastards on the floor reminds me of my old man or something i want to go keep the day moving i want to feel the sun on my face
come on you guys get up. norse stands over pete and some chick with with skin that's a bit too white. hey pete come on, kneels down grabs pete by the shoulder. pete's fully dressed. leather jacket . jack boots. pete looks pale too much too pale against the black of his dyed hair. against the red of his lips. such red lips oh norse leans his face close in to pete's. hey pete, pety boy wake up me lovely. pete's eyes twitch behind his eye lids, a dream cuts off dilated irises. taste there is a taste. bitter. twinge of arm. blood shot. oh your lips are so red petie, i could just - leans in, brushes his lips against petes' lips. norse wets his lips, his tongue hungover dry, damps his lips leans in closer closer. oh pete rests his mouth on his. twinge flickers in his belly. petes eyes start to flutter. hey petey wake up brother. and pete can feel the heat of norse's breath on his face. open his eyes

*historic note
the Terminal @ 1421 Terminal avenue was originally built in 1924 by josef oreillo for his wife and nine children. it stayed in the family up until 1986 when josef died and his children put the house up for sale. bought by an off shore company based in hongkong the house became a rental unit.
hi patti - how are you?
i have a question for you. do you remember the terminal and randy taylor who used to live there - at one time randy would give the 2 bit tour of the terminal - it was a great sprawling house built in the 20's. it seems to me there were several halls and corridors and an assortment of odd rooms that had been added on one addition at a time. - i remember there was 2 staircases to upstairs and there was a boathouse in the back because someone built a boat in there once (before the punks) i was wondering if you or mark or any one else could give me a bit more history about that house - is it still standing?
you know norse the trick is to keep moving through it. yeah just keep moving i'm always moving. acknowledge you are high and the universe will be yours and only yours. sitting under the bridge the viaduct. shelter from the rain. give me shelter. hey you guys mind if we share your fire? fire in a barrel 50 gallons hey that don't look like no 50 gallons to me. laughter. naw man it's a 20 gallon drum man, we cut it down. ya did not. we found it like that. no no man we don't mind at all - you got anything to drink, anything to share. sure man i do have something, a little something. pulls a heel, golden heal from an inside pocket. it's a bit of whiskey or something, lid off, bottle to mouth. warm burn. norse hands the bottle to pete, pete takes a swig, gags, begins to retch, hey are you okay there petey boy? hey hand that bottle over here, man don't waste that shit, i won't gag, didn't your momma teach you how to swallow? where did you learn to drink man. and pete is still retching, heaving, hand over the bottle man and the guy, the rubby, hey fuck man take it easy. here take it norse says, we don't need any more of that shit right now, too sick, hey pete you okay, rubs pete's back. pete can't stop heaving dry heaves, oh my guts norse, i feel like shit, like i'm gonna die, like that chick that chick back there.
hey man you ain't gonna die. we got too much to do, yeah but i'm older than you are norse, i've lived way more and harder than you have. fuck that pete, you're only 5 years older than me not even - you're only 22 - you're just feeling like shit man, it's been a rough night. that chick. that dead chick. & the other one the other girl who od'ed at the show last night. fuck man everybody is dying. it's too much death pete. we gotta get out of this scene. what do you mean man? done? we've barely just started, he looks at norse with a smile. oh that beautiful smile i love that smile. pete i love you. i mean, i really love you man. and pete turns and heaves hard ribs crushing pointed pain through the chest almost feels like a heart attack but it's not, only a body playing this is enough.
now i can't remember exactly when norse shot his first movie, i think he was only ever in 3 movies, willie preferred to keep norse arounde as eye candy. oh gotta have something sweet on the eye, something to cheer my sorry old spirit. that's what he'd say about norse. norse cheered him up. he didn't want to see any thing nasty happen to norse. and i mean for a closet case fag who loved to see nasty things willie couldn't be that way with norse. norse became his friend, ate supper at willies table, was introduced to willies straight friends. i believe norse even slept with willies wife. well there wasn't much will could do for her now, could he. silly old fag that he was. you and the funniest thing was willy ran with the big boys, the law makers and the politicians, all the big corporate dudes. you know, willie was an industrialist himself, i'm sure he had millions, hundreds of millions. plastics that's what he said. he made his money in plastics and serrated edges. you know those metal edges on plasic wrap, well his company made those, they still do. big money in serrated edges.
but you know, rumour has it, willies company built devices for nuclear weapons. that's really how he made his fortune and his connections

norse and pete walk away, stumble away from the fire, the rubbies, through broken glass garbage. graffiti covers the wall hey pete this is where we should paint the cover of our album. you know spray paint our names and take a bunch of picture. it would be so cool. we gotta get practicing more man. maybe we should get roger and morrison to move in with us. just have a band house. set up in the living room - fuck the neighbours. we gotta write a few more songs. you know last night i went for a walk during the party, i met that marilyn girl walked her home. did you fuck her. no no i didn't fuck her, she kissed me though. she's hot. a nice girl. she's staying over at the crash on francis street. she told me they got a band room in the basement of that house. mattresses on the floors and walls, sound proofed man. maybe we can start practicing there
well dora what do you think? that boy he seems so odd. well he's bound to be odd, look at what the child has been through. first mary and then james. i knew i should have stopped in more often after mary died, but well you know how it is. i get so busy. plus the church takes up so much of my time. i suppose i should have dragged the child to church with me, but you know james was such a bastard, i hated to stop over. right after mary died i stopped by. but james was so drunk and terrible
what do you want you nosey bitch, there's nothing here for you any more. you're looking for more of mary's things aren't you. you think i didn't see you rifling through mary's handbag when she was on her death bed. she'd hardly drawn her last breath and you dumping out that damn purse on the table. taking mary's last precious dollars you were.
no no james it wasn't like that my dear. i was looking for her birthcertificate. i've told you that before. i didn't need mary's last change. besides there wasn't anything in there anyways. i suppose you took every last cent she had before she ever made it too her death bed you bastard. living on the hard work of a frail woman. she worked hard every day of her life for you james mcdaniels. scrubbing floors that woman kept house for the rich folk so you could have your drink and your temper
don't you talk that way to me woman. it nothing to you that i fell on hard times with the mill, you know that. who the fuck are you to tell me about working you whore, you fucking bitch. now get the hell out of here.
i want to see the boy. where is norse.
norse ain't here. he's at a friends house.
how is the poor boy. have you been looking after him
what damn business is it of your's. get the hell out of here. before i call the cops.
and you know it was the strangest thing, i felt scared. but not for myself. suddenly all i could think of was that boy. poor little norse. he has the most beautiful eyes, that child. blue as the ocean on a sunny day. bright blue and a smile to make a woman cry. poor little dear. - i left of course. turned away from the door. he slammed it behind me
and don't come back you old bitch. mary never liked you anyways!
when i got to the gate i turned and looked back at the house, and in the upstairs window there stood little norse. he was waving at me smiling. a sad little smile. his face looked bruised, almost distorted, swollen. like he'd been beat up. but he just kept waving and smiling and he blew me a kiss.
she crosses her self, turns and lets herself out the gate.
when i got to my car i looked again. but norse was gone from the window. i was going to call after that, but i just never got around to it. you have no idea how relieved i was when i heard james had a heart attack. i thought. well then. there's some redemption after all isn't there.
what do you think? should i take the boy in. really he has no where else to go to. i think that child needs some love.
hey aunti, it's me norse, just say yes, accept the collect call it's me norse.
oh yes i'll accept the charges.
just say yes dora. well yes then i accept the charges, oh norse where are you child, i haven't heard from you in weeks. are you okay. what are you doing. where are you? have you been eating?
aunti settle down. i'm okay. i'm better than okay. i've got a job. yeah a real job. doing make up in the movies. i met this guy. he got me a job. well like it was sorta a modeling job but i only did that a couple of times and the guy who's house it's at. oh my god, the house, the house it's the most amazing big house. this guy is so rich. he wants me to be his valet. it's so cool he knows all these other rich people and famous people. i've seen famous people at his house like really big movie stars. he throws these giant parties. he lives in holly wood aunti. i'm calling you from holly wood. can you believe it? i made across the continent aunt dora. i'm gonna be famous. who? the guy? well his name is will williams. he owns factories in kansas.
i hate it when i sit and get high. i mean i was standing when i got high, but suddenly i realize: i'm alone. there is only me.
clouds sock into the mountians
suck in to mountain every thing
white grey blue
real blue sad blue
last night the fog so thick
it swallowed the sky
stars & all / even the northern lights
star crossed swirls pulse lines across night
norse hears a knock at the door. knock knock bang bang. hey norse. let me in. hurry up i gotta talk to you. i'ts important man. norse gets up from the tv steps over the coffee table. walks to the door. bang bang . norse open up the door. alright alright i'm coming i'm coming. opens the door to petes pinned eyes. flushed lips. there's a couple of girls with him. hookers, waitresses something. not sure. hey pete how are ya brother. hugs him tights kisses petes cold ear. ruffles his hair. come on in. come in and sit down. he looks the girls up and down. shoe models. says pete. they work over at the number 5 orange. cute huh. makeup. look at all the good damn make up. nice shoes. hey welcome girls come in. throws open his arm to the room. what's your names? julie and debbie. nice. come in sit down. what's up pete? whatcha been doing?
hey norse i talked to rob. you know rob rankin. he's the guy at the gig the other night. he's a rep for 'little records'. he wants to cut a couple of our songs. can you believe that. he wants to bring us into their studios. record some songs. like five songs he said. we rock. he loved our energy he said. they haven't had a punk band with any promise for a long time. he thinks if we cut a few songs and got them distributed through the college music scene, he said it could open a whole world for us. what do you think norse? is that fucking cool or what.
norse stands there his hand on his stomach. where did you run into him man? oh in the number 5. he was sitting there with some guys on their lunch break. he came over to me - he introduced me to julie and debbie. he is very cool. he wants to meet you all of us. you me, tony and grit.
norse stands there finger in his ear. when are we suppose to meet him. feels a bit of wax a ball of wax on the tip of his finger. shakes his finger shakes his ear. wax looses. hang on man. i gotta get a Q-tip. clean my ear. i think theres a beer in the fridge. he walks out of the room. shaken . shake shake. oh my fucking god my legs are shaking. stomach feels hard. tense. like puking. norse goes to the toilet. opens the lid kneels. sticks his fingers down his throat. rush of coffee and toast sprays from his belly. norse heaves again. again. finally stands up and looks to the mirror. turn on the tap water. splash. wet the face. drink. he drinks from his hands. swallows the burn. rinses out his mouth. curdled. his tongue.
norse phelps mcdaniels. you are going to be famous. oh mary you would be so proud of your son right now. mama. i'm going to make. you'll see. going to leave this trash behind.
see the thing about norse is, every one who ever met him loved him. irrefutable charm. it's one of those things you can only have if you are born to it. not everyone has it. not every one gets it. norse used to make me a bit jealous, you know, i just wished i could walze into a room like he did and have every one in the room want to sleep with you. there wasn't a person in the world who would n't smile when they looked at norse.
that's why things never worked out for him in the adult film industry. he was just too beautiful. too beautiful to take advantage of him. although there were a few times i thought how much i'd love to take advange of him. laughs. i mean there were definitely times i slept with norse but you know, he wasn't like that, he wasn't really in to me like i was into him. we cuddled. that's one thing i can say about norse, no one could hold you or me for that matter like norse could. it was like he had magic eminated from his body. almost a presence of - oh it so hard to say these things with out sounding flaky but you know it was almost a religious experience touching norse. like pheromones or something. i really believe in that sort of thing. now pierre my secretary, he's always telling me not to talk about stuff like that, especially about norse, because he says people will think you are crazy patsy. well my name is patrick, and i go by pat , but you know how it is with old friends. it's a sign of endearment. Patsy. and then you know he pats my bottom. pierre is such a gay old ham. i tell him that.
what? well of course pierre knew norse. pierre has been with me for years. i my self have never thot of pierre in any other way than employer. but of course there is this definite love we share. i mean, he has sat beside me many times over the years and held my hand and encouraged me. pierre has been my rock. you know especially through the times with norse. it wasn't always easy. norse wasn't well, i don't know how to say this. for all his beauty and charm, he was, well, socially inept. he didn't have too many close close friends. he didn't ever like to let people get to close to him. but he had his reasons. i always assumed he had many many friends. which he did, but you know, when he lived with me, there weren't many people that he brought around. he preferred to be alone. he liked to have a few drinks. he liked to drink and sit alone. play his guitar and sing.
some times the drinking would get bad, well you know how it is with alcohol, it just creeps up on you. one day your having a few social drinks the next day you are being a complete bastard
your a complete bastard norse. why do you have to get this way, especially with me. i give you every thing norse. even when you have everything i still give you everything. i love you norse.
ah you don't understand patsy. you give me nothing you fat little faggot. you need to believe in yourself. why don't you believe in yourself? you have to do that first. and then you can believe in me. you're a nice man and everything, you've helped me out when i was down, got me away from willie and all that. but sometimes i think this relationship is going no-where. i feel like i don't even know you pat. like you are a complete stranger to me. it's like i'm ultra famous, and you're nothing. why do you hang on to me like this. i could call you a pile of shit and you would still come back for more. lapping it up. i'm not gonna fuck you patsy. not now not ever.
what are you talking about norse. good god, how many times do we need to have this conversation? it's the booze. it makes you so ugly norse. i'm going down stairs. we can talk tomorrow. you know and if you really feel that way about me and pierre, maybe it's time for you to be moving out. he closed the bedroom door. leaves norse standing there holding a bottle oh sweet sally how i love you dear when everyone has fucked me over i can still hold you near
norse swallows hard, whiskey bites the back of his throat, warms all the way down to his belly. oh hot geezus christ face hot. oh my face. catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror. the mirror beckons his own eyes call him toward the mirror. smiles the face smiles at him. come here you beautiful boy, come closer so we can look into each others eyes. oh you are so beautiful. like baby jesus, but more, son of god. yes, yes you are the son of god, cut out in his perfection, you are the one. norse the one. there is a reason you are so famous. these people just don't know it yet. but soon, soon you must show the world who you really are. son of god. norse takes another drink from the bottle. steps closer to the mirror. he sees. mary? mama? is that you. i'm certain i can see your eyes. your eyes are my eyes mama. can you see everything that i see? look at all this before us - this is our gift our jewel. this is for you mama, well and aunt dora, who incidently is a fat cow, but has always been good to me. but mostly mama, this is all for you. her eyes fade in and out of norse's eyes. norse i love you norse. so sure he can hear her voice. can you remember your mother's voice. i pray for you mama mary. i pray to mary mother of jesus for you mama i'm praying for you and for me. god has answered so many of my prayers but you know there is so much work still to be done.
norse closes one eye, the mirror away from him. gone. gone. where is she gone. come back come back!
i'm sorry my father beat you so badly
i'm sorry he killed you dead
i'm sorry you made him my father but
what else is there left to say
i'm sorry so sorry
you'll never know how sorry i really am
cause i'd kill him if i had the chance to
i'm sorry for what goes around
oh yeah oh yeah
so like are those the lyrics norse. well yeah. something like that. i haven't got them sorted out yet. just yet. i saw my dead mother in the mirror last night. well you were pretty drunk norse. being drunk has nothing to do with it. i'm sure i would have seen here whether or not i was drinking the booze has nothing to do with anything. i know what i saw. okay so you saw you mother. were you frightened. no not at all. she told me what i had to do. you know i realize now. i'm special. not just famous. not just rich. i'm the son of god patsy.
well you know it was after that, things were never the same. evertime he would drink, he would lay this son of god stuff on me or who ever was around.
norse and the boys stumble into the waiting room of little records. norse opens close opens his hands clench clench clench. hey pete lets go out side for a smoke, how long is the going to be. & pete says hang on a minute i'll ask the receptionist, the girl behind the desk, she picks up the phone punches three numbers, hi rob, these boys what did you say your name was again death needle, oh, uh cool, yeah it's death needle rob. she looks the boys up and down they are kinda cute she thinks, nice black hair she says to pete, i dig mohawks and pete smiles at her and she smiles back and then looks at norse.
her stomach jumps, literally jumps like fear but something else. she is vaguely aware of moisture forming between her legs hot tingle urge to pee. oh blue eyes, such blue eyes, but there is something odd about him, his jaw looks crooked, mouth mouth crooked mouth. hi my name is denise but she can't say it. norse looks at her doesn't smile stares hard into her eyes and it's almost like she can hear him inside here head. it's like he's talking to her. can you hear me, but she knows she's imagining it. starts to laugh and petes laughs looks over his shoulder and says hey norse say hi to the pretty girl and norse nods, says hi, how are you and she says hi my name is denise my name is norse. a door off the waiting room opens and out steps rob rankin
hey boys it's so good to see you. i'm so glad you make time to come down. come in come in. the boys file in. rob closes the door behind them, hey fellows make your selves comfortable there's a couch over there. pull up a chair. does any one feel like a drink. there's the bar. hard stuff, beer, wine if you like. help your selves you might as well enjoy yourselves because i think you have reason to celebrate. i've talked to my partners and they've agreed you know i think it's so cool and i told them that - the way you guys just get the house hopping with all those tunes. it's so good just to hear some good old fashioned punk rock. you know the movement is almost 15 years old now, but you guys have what it takes. you are the epitamy of punk. you live breath play punk. and that carries through to your music, your sound i have to tell you when that naked girl got up on stage i just started pumping the air with my fist even harder. man norse you rock man - that chick was in love with you - every one in that theatre was in love with you. thats's what we want as a record company, we want bands whose fans love them
laugher goes around the room. norse goes over to the mini bar hey norse beer, beer i'll have beer, okay a round of beer for the boys. he opens the door of the fridge. oh yeah beer for everyone - he tosses them beers. crack crack crack foaming beers, laughter, oh yeah every one all the boys are happy, pete in grinning shit eating grin roger and morrison both grinning happy too laughing really funny, holy fuck we got a deal, oh yeah man we got a deal.
and you know, norse doessn't say much, it's all too much, oh my stomach fuck. the room seems sideways somehow. off kilter, on kilter, hey man do you mind if i take a shot of this whiskey here. no not at all no i don't mind at all go right ahead my friend. drink drink. we have tomorrow.
in 1988 norse's band went into the studio with rob rankin. this was the opportunity of a life time. they recorded five songs including the college radio hit single why i'm a punk. the boys thought this would be their leap in to fame and it was a very local level. every one in the local punk scene and any one who listened to college radio recognized the name Death Needle. why i'm a punk became the theme song for generation of punks.
you know this story is going nowhere. norse is a loser. he's a murderer. people die around him all the time people drop dead. like pete for example. he dies in a punk rock flop house. surrounded by people so fucked up they don't notice he's dead for at least 12 hours, until his girlfriend comes screaming out of the bedroom, no she doesn't even come screaming, she staggers out of another bedroom where she gone to hang out. she leaves pete on the bed after a big whack. she goes to the bathroom for gets to come back. the house is so big you could get lost in it for a week. when she discovers pete isn't breathing any more, she wanders back to the room where's she been high all night, does another hit and forgets to tell everyone else petes kinda cold on the bed. she doesn't want the hassle. so much easier to pretend he's still sleeping. although the "oh fuck" feeling does go through her stomach, but after a hit or two the feeling eventually fades into - she remembers her purse her bag her life is in the other room with pete - she's forgotten pete is dead tho because well she does - but now it is morning late morning early afternoon she ventures to think and the sun is full bore. all the curtains are drawn but it doesn't stop the sun from shining through the cracks seeping into the house at various points.
her purse in on the bed. pete is on the bed - hey pete move over you're laying on the strap to my purse, hey move pete and she shakes him. again. remembers. oh fuck - and the "oh fuck" feeling goes through her stomach again. like last night when she first realized that something oh fuck some thing is wrong. hey pete wake up. i'm sorry about last night i didn't mean to leave you here for get about you i just went to the other room to get a bit more high i didn't realize - didn't realize - you needed me. oh fuck i'm so sorry man and she starts to cry shook up she's all shook up uh huh and it hits her. her tear tap turns on her stomach starts to heave shake my hands my hands are shaking oh pete and she cries louder un til the cry becomes an urgent call. a complete breakdown this is all i can do right now and she runs out of the bedroom screaming. screaming who the fuck is screaming and she stands out side the door in the hallway with a dozen closed doors. pete she screams his name over over pete pete until eventually even the most stoned the most passed out professional punk rocker is roused from their sleep their highs their beings.
rubbing their eyes, scratching their bodys, what the fuck what the fuck. they all want to know what the fuck and they all think the girl is breaking down what the fuck is wrong with that girl who let that stupid girl in here who gave her the shit to get her - fuck is she ever wasted somebody shut that bitch off. someone finally asks her hey what the fuck what's wrong and she sobs. pete pete falls to the floor dramatically to her knees pounding the floor her whole body shaking with guilt high body deprived normalization. she is fucked up. pete's not breathing man. they scramble in to the room stand in a semi circle around pete the room gets fuller pushing from the back there must be ten people in this closet of a room hey no pushing let me see are you sure he's not breathing and it doesn't look good. his lips are dark blue face white. quiet pete is quiet the room is quiet only the sound of breathing nervous quiet breathing. pete is dead.
what to do with a dead punk. they all file back out of the room into another bedroom, a meeting a meeting what to do about pete. fuck don't call the cops no cops no body has a car we can't even drop him off at the hospital call an ambulance - no fuck no don't do that don't call an ambulance. lets just leave it for now. everybody go back to sleep. a couple of the fellows appoint thems selves in charge. we'll decide what to do we'll get it figured out. just don't tell anyone he's dead he died. the screaming girl is calmed by this point goes does another whack forgets her problems for a while longer -some go back to sleep - some wander off in search of food drink money - no one says any thing about pete nobody mentions pete - the bedroom door is closed. stays closed.
sometime after dark they roll pete up in a sheet and carry him out of the house. they go through the alleys only a couple of blocks. pete is left next to a dumpster behind a hottub fabrication building. they unwrap him, keep the blanket man don't leave it around him or they will figure out he was moved. pete lays on a blanket of fibre glass trimmings bits of itch. it covers his pants crunches under him. someone finds him a few hours later. call the cops the ambulance. another dead junkie. probably dumped from that house around the corner. christ almighty they drop like flies in that house. probably the best thing that could happen to garbage like this. i hate to say it but a what a drain on society. punks like this are better off dead. less strain on society in the long run and they tie pete's thin body to the stretcher load him into the ambulance down to the morgue
roger and morrison what about them ? you know it's the funniest thing no one ever mentions roger and morrison. in my opinion those two boys never got the mention they deserve. i'd say they are the two most obsure bass and drums combo in the entire punk movement & yet they are responsible for all the music written by death needle. of course norse wrote most of the lyrics.
morrison gigged as a butcher. roger was a waiter. they both died young. morrison fell into a meat grinder at his father's store and roger burned in a house fire . neither one of them could get out. of course this was long after pete died. and norse had made it famous. celebrity extrordinare'.
no no that's not true. morrison didn't fall into a meat grinder he only got his hand caught in it. right up to the elbow which would have been fine if he was a drummer but he wasn't . he was a bass player and everybody knows you gotta have two hands to play bass. the really sad thing is he hardly got any money from workers compensation. may be 50 000 dollars. which is not alot. when you lose your hand and arm up to your elbow. needless to say, this is beginning to sound like a very bad novel. first the missing hand and partial arm , then his mind. it made him crazy depressed. morrison drank. started hanging with the punks big time. he was never really in the punk scene but he knew roger from high school. morrison always had some apartment somewhere with a stocked fridge. because even if you hang with punks you don't have to eat like one, you know what i mean norse. i believe that a guy can have fun, but you don't have to be down and dirty all the time to have fun. like these old women where i work, they all come in and buy 4 strips of bacon or a half a pound of ground beef. may be a few sausages. they always say what a lovely boy i am. because i am norse that's for starters . the second thing is i can change my skin when i want. punk boy in a band on the weekends and clean cut butcher during the week. women like that. women like men that make money have money get money. women need men with money and women like men who are bad boys and women like guys in bands . i've got the best of both worlds norseman.
yeah until his hand ends up in the grinder.
what do you do then. hang with punks. spend your 50 grand on a few big whacks / a few big wanks. end up on the floor of the terminal shitting your pants - you have been so high now for so long and when morrison comes down and the money is gone and the cramps set in - - well - its' something death would wish for. his parents give up hope - - send him a few grocery gift cards. these cards suck. fuck can't even buy a pack of smokes with them. after a while most people don't really like morrison but he's an icon. he used to play with norse in a band, he was cool back then , back when his hand was still attached. at night morrison dreams about his hand playing bass and oh those fans screaming fans = they love him - - but the dream always always goes bad. the hum of the meat grinder - all the bits of cuttings bits of meat trimmings to go into the grinder. he dreams his own scream. screetch of the blades against the stump of his arm his scream wakes him.
heroin is not enough to kill the dream. his hand where his had used to be - he still feels the strings beneath his fingers wrapped around the frets up and down , music music i play music in a band.
he od's on his 27 birthday. fitting. just like hendrix and janis and kurt. kidney failure. failure to work. there will be no more cleaning.
roger died in a house fire. they suspect a cigarette in the couch.
roger died in a house fire. they suspect a cigarette in the couch. of course one can never be too sure about these things. the thing of it is, it was a known party house - like not a hard core party house but the folks that lived there weren't opposed to a bit too much wine with dinner on a friday night. they'd lived together for years in various formations. various mixes of girls and boys couples and singles a mellow group of friends past the bullshit everybody worked everyone contributed meals were communal chairs were shared beds girlfriends / lovers / the punk hippies with the long hair and pant skirt combinations. we are musicians man. i paint murals and walls and halls. i work in the movies. catering. lights i'm an electrician man. in the front hall are a couple of skate boards a few leather jackets, the walls are covered in graffiti, posters, oddities , game boards and photographs - i'm a photographer black and white i'm really into black and white it captures the true essence of the eye . . this is the grass smoking one step away soy milk replacement did you buy any avocadoes man, fruit i need to eat fruit bananas apples always a big bag of onions on the floor crowd and they are peaceful and they are cool
the house is kitsch / warm wood wild colors / heart the house if full of heart
until one night after a gathering some 25 people or so. somebodies birthday. wine the counter is full of wine and food bowl and plates and pots full of food - the warm smell of garlic baked red peppers, gastronomical vegetarian delight mmmm such good food and music all night music plays dance music music to talk to sing to dance to and more wine and joints and some one is passing a bottle of old grouse and joints the bong is fired up hash and someone made hash brownies oh those are good and would you like to do some shrooms they are good funny fuck they make me laugh make everything seem a little bit brighter and the evening progresses with much love laughter and light.
around 3 am pretty much everyone has cleared out - gone home time to sleep shit i've gotta work tomorrow i'm gonna be beat - hey take it easy drive carefully - the front door shut and locked. by 4 am everyone is passed out alone in the arms of their boyfriends girl friends. someones on the couch - its quiet in the house still - somewhere in the kitchen smokes rises from a garbage bag - it's next to the over due recycling - suddenly a small orange flame appears floosh crackle the bag goes up - someone dropped a hot cigarette when they dumped an ashtray - a long butt hardly smoked - it's burns quietly for a long time before a flame forms on the edge of the pasta box - it was good spagetti - organic - from pananchies up on hastings street - sure it costs a bit more - but it's worth it - made from spelt - good for wheat allergies - i like the taste better - there's a burning bag of garbage in the kitchen so far it's contained but not for long - this fire has no smoke - it's just clear flame burning hotter brighter - a thirsty flame - paper cardboard egg cartons, newspapers - the wall begins to burn - flames shoots up over the fridge - the five hundred and thirty seven plastic yogart containers begin a fat burn. the flames move along the ceiling down the curtains to the table - the flowered table cloth browns and then rises in ash - the table burns each layer of paint down to the wood - it's not an antique any more - fire wood - flames keep moving searches for oxygen - finds the pile of clothes in green garbage bags by the kitchen door waiting to go to sally anne maybe we should just burn all this stuff - in the back yard - no one would know - no no that's wrong - we'll borrow a car - we'll get roger to drive it -
plastic melts contents of the bags falls to the floor - smoke now there is smoke - thick black smoke billowing smoke - polyester cotton blend smoke - flames move onto the back porch - through the broken window bam bam crash - 100 year old panes of glass - burst - flame is now on the outside of the house - happy licking the cedar shake siding put on in the 60's oh it crackles - it takes no time at all for the back of the house to become now it is engulfed orange the back of the house is orange - and no one has noticed it yet - not the neighbours or early morning walkers - still there is not much smoke - fire fire buring bright
upstairs someone wakes up - a girl friend - she wakes up to take a pee wonders why the room seems so bright like the sun shining in so yellow & she realizes holy fuck the house is burning - hey wake up wake up the house is burning - - and her boyfriend wakes up suddenly sits up - another "holy fuck" he jumps up starts looking around - things to grab - what to take fuck it where are my pants and the flames begin to shoot into their bedroom - run run get the fuck out he yells at her and she opens the bedroom door - the hall is full of smoke - bang bang hey wake up in there - one fire fire - every body wake up there's a fire in the house - one bedroom door opens and they both go in - open the window quick fuck the house is burning - open the window and lets get the fuck out - - luckly there is a stoop outside the window a terrible old wooden ladder nailed to the side of the house - one two three four five of them come down the ladder smoke trails out behind them oh my god who's in the house - run around the front run to the front of the house - - can any one else get out - who else should be here - where 's roger? who was sleeping on the couch? fuck who's still inside - they run through the neighbours yard to the front street - - an early morning crowd gathers - fire fire everywhere - - sirens in the distance sirens - - the sky is pale blue early morning - pure pre dawn - when the city sleeps after a long night - - much panic ensues
every one accounted for / even the guy on the couch except for roger. roger doesn't make it out. they find him at the bottom of the stairs. not burned. crumpled as if he tumbled to the bottom of the stairs in a panic to leave. he almost made it. he could've grabbed his leather on his way out. but he died in stead he musta banged his head / the smoke the smoke all the fucking smoked killed him. the top of the house and the back of the house are gone / black burnt wood / the front porch / door bottom of the stairs on the mainfloor / posters were fine there were still coats hanging on the pegs in the front hall / boots everyones boots still lined up /
poster for a gig taped to the front door / "death needle" live at the commodore ballroom sept 28
okay so the truth is this. death needle never made it. and it's not because they died , cause the band died long before they did - - norse fucked off - he just plain disappeared one day - he saw an opportunity for something more than hanging in the punk scene in vancouver. tired of the punks and the junk and the death and the dirt and fuck i'd like to wear some armani for a change and eat a fat steak.
okay so the truth is death needle had a run a go at things. they rode the cusp of pysuedo fame for a year almost two. they recorded ten songs
father why
eat junk & die
bashing (uh huh uh huh)
pixie dust
west coast punk funk
death needle (signature song)
i'd rather wear armani
wish i was in compton
distortion
why i'm a punk (number one on college radio - 28 weeks in a row)
they released "death needle" alive but not well in 1988. turns out the boys sold a few albums 6 723 to be exact. but it was the advent of compact disc. well out of the pocket book of the average punk. little records and rob rankin chose tapes and records to carry the message. 2345 copies of the album were sold on tapes. 50 promos were sent out as well - - the promos were extended play 12 inch records played at 45 speed. they were printed on red vinyl. a large black cross with death needle written in scratch font was on the lable. they were very cool. destined to become collectables.
you know and they played a lot of gigs but some how they could never quite break out of the b bar scene. every once in a while they would pull an A bar gig you know the commordore ballroom or something, but you see it turns out the record rep good old rob rankin, well turns out he was a bit of a fish. cold eyed cold blooded and slimy.
the boys never received any monies from little records. rob promised a big payout - the boys were each fronted 250 bucks right after the recording. norse put 150 bucks in the bank and spent the rest on a party. morrison paid his rent. roger took a gram of blow and some blond he met at a party up to whistler for the weekend to see the moody blues. and pete, of course, put his up his arm, save a few bucks he spent on a bowl of chicken congee down in china town. really, the money didn't make much difference to the overall life or life styles of the boys, -
norse waited. he wanted something to happen. he could taste it. he knew it was waiting for him. something big. he'd had a dream. mary came to him. held his hand. his mother held his hand, you know and norse began to cry. giant tears rolling in slow motion down his cheeks, down his shirt. big round balls of salt water and when they hit the floor they burst into musical notes. mary said take these tears and sing. meet me when you pass through to the other side. norse woke up shaking, sure his mother was still in the room with him. it was only the sun cutting through the window, past the curtain. one white dust filled ray. oh mary mother mary.
i have to make it i have to
sometimes i wonder why this journey is so hard
i want to get there faster faster - i want to find
some one to love who will really just dig me for who i am
who believes god gives me these gifts - if only he would talk to me
help me break through this
god is a private issue for norse. he doesn't tell anyone he believes. he knows how stupid it would sound to these people. it's too serious to even discuss with them on any level. norse often enters the doors of the chapel of the immaculate mother. the doors are open during the day. inside the spacious chapel immediately cuts off the noise of down town. norse walks to front of the church and lights a candle for his mother. he lights two more for his father - - you need all the light you can get old man. crosses his chest kneels for a moment and then makes his way to the back of the chapel the magnificant chapel between the arches holding up the balcony. somehow it is a place of refuge between the two arches. norse knees and prays holds his hands up in front of his face.
tall dressed in black long blond hair. norse looks like he just stepped out of gothica - - the priests father bob and father bill are used to him. norse takes confession once in a while sometimes he receives an offering, communion - sacrament of the eucharist
i give thee the blood of christ
i give thee the body of christ
drink from me
eat from me
red wine
host
hold the host on your tongue don't talk don't take it out it will melt on your tongue
what is it aunti it's the body of christ. don't drink the wine child just take it too your lips. the priest holds the large silver chalice about his head, crosses the air with it. his robes hang from his armw. the priest reminds norris of angel. norse liked going to church as a child, the women would always fuss, pinch his cheek and sneak him cookies. after mary and james died and he went to live with aunti - church became an obsession. he made her go to the evening service - it was only a half hour service, but norse liked the outting. church was warm with the glow of candles - norse would stand in front of the candles, searching staring ' i'm praying aunti' that's what i do when i stare at the candles i'm praying to my mother, i miss her sometimes i miss her so much. he falls into his aunti's arms - her chest gets heavy with sadness such a burden for such a young child, well you are safe here with me dear norse - i will always look after you - the good lord willing - oh yes the good lord willing aunti -
norse found the quiet of the church a good place to think. it was also a good place to meet people. people who could help you out. women mostly, some men. norse mostly went after women - it would start with a smile - a bit of conversation. women were alway taken back by the sincerity of his charm.
. His sweet look, his lovely voice. A voice to melt chocolate. He usually went after women ten to twenty years older. He refused to fuck them, but instead you know I think you just need somebody to tell you how beautiful you are. You are a beautiful women, some one should kiss you. I think you deserve something special in this life. Words of this caliber were good for meals, clothing and shelter. Some times it was just a night, sometimes it lasted for weeks, on a couple of occasions it lasted months. Usually the women had lovers, some husbands, most of them money. Money is key. If you want to get anywhere in life you need money and a good pair of shoes. What I’d really like is a bit of whiskey you got any whiskey and he’s off to the races. It’s the whiskey that generally ends most of the love, the giving,
the sharing. the roof over his head. norse learns to travel light. finds room mates that aren't too demanding. and when he really wants something he just takes it. finds a way a means. norse is determined. he likes rich women. and he likes fags too. and the funny things is - he get's blow jobs all the time. because that doesn't count as sex. norse - receiver, taker. norse with nothing to give but a good line
but i sound biased. mean. perhaps contempt. well i always believe what comes around goes around. norse went full circle. he took and he took until he could take no more. i gave and i gave until i could give no more. and what did i get in return? nothing norse gave me nothing but this story. well, he gave me heart break - he really hurt my heart - - all those times i stood behind him - all those times i told him he really was the chosen lest he should freak out and go into a rage. once i told him i didn't believe in god, you know, and he like cursed me, told me 'god has a plan for you' even if i didn't have a plan that is. i walked around for a week looking over my shoulder, thinking something bad was going to happen to me, honestly i thought a demon or something was going to come at me, rip me limb from limp tear out my heart or something - some horrible death - something more horrific than i could ever imagine. that was the power of norse. you know, he could have a hitler, or mao se tung, or even david koresh - he fancied himself the prophet and felt that if only he could a few people to follow, to be his desciples then his job would be done. then nothing else would matter. he could sit back and get drunk drink more whiskey, smoke a couple cigarettes, may be find a nice girl
eat some good meals - norse didn't want to have to work too hard tho -
okay back to sleazy rob rankin - norse hangs at robs place for a few weeks. norse holds it together - turns on the charms be's a good boy a good norse - old rob sees the charm well some of the charm turns on a bit of his own. after all he is at least ten years old than norse here - i should know somthing about some thing about this god damn business. hey norse are you with me or against - they share a bottle of whiskey. start making out. norse sucks rob off - rob gives him a hand job - they kiss and it feels good. okay norse if you can carry your self with any amount of decency i will take you los angels and intoduce you to this friend of mine - he makes porn - you could be in porn make a shit load of money. this this guy i know - he's rich and the guy he works for - well don't get me started - but man oh man norse knowing you - you could get into that guys pocket book - just make the old fag fall in love with you and i guarantee you won't have suck anybody off in front of a camera - - and even if you do have suck someone off - man the money enough to make you go gargle and say hey that's an easy 500 bucks , come on norse man - i'll buy you a ticket
and norse is thinking your lips are not nearly as red as petes lips, but he does like something about black mopped haired rob in his suites . well dressed man - hey rob you got some clothes i could borrow or have. i'v just got so run down hangingwith those punks man any thing good i had they took those chicks are the worst you know - i lost boots, my leather jacket. all kinds of shit. i'm a the point i look like a tramp - well norse if its any consolation you look like a well healed tramp - you've got cordoroy on - you look pretty buff - let's go shopping for you - once we get ther you are going to have so much money i can feel it in my bones i'll loan you the money. + you kknow i kinda fucked up last year with the money and now i'm not with those guys at little records and they won't uphold the contract. i think if we go to la, we re going to make lots of money in movie industry and what's more important 0 if you want to be discovered we have to get you out of this dump
norse decides to let pete know the sudden shift in plans - i gotta go over to the terminal and say good bye to pete man - you know and he gets there and asks for pete and the dumb chick on the couch pinned eyes says yeah - he's up stairs with natalie
he finds his way up there. pete is so fucked up hey man gravel voice 0 he smiles holds his arm up blood streaks dried to the back of his arms 0 hey norseman 0 whens our next gig - did rot rankin get un another gig - it's been pretty slow lately man we need to jam gig it's been a couple of months fuck man how long has it been since i've seen you - three months - comeon three month? he starts to laugh no fucking way - where you been for three months norse man - how come you never come to visit me - hey that's not true i've been by a few times you're always on the nod . like right now are you even gonna remember i was here with you and your lady friend - hey lady friend natalie you gotta skoot for a couple of minutes me and norse we gots lots to talk about. don't we norse don't we norse . hey norse you got any cigarettes, oh yeah i got a couple of smokes, you got a line man 00 i'd buy a gram of junk off you if you have it. and pete raises his eye brow where the fuck did you get enough money for a gram - oh it's not for me it's for some one else - but hey well i'm here for old times sake - you gott any clean needles - yeah i got one i rinsed out 0 he gets up stumbles for it - it's on the table maybe in side the drawer
and there is is . a ten cc needle - come on pete let's cook up a good batch a fat hit - i'm leaving town tomorrow - i gotta chance to be in the movies in la - porn movies - i mean i'm not gonna lie - what's the point in lying - yeah hopefully i'll be boning beauful chicks - i wish i could just be boning you - and pete laughs - i know i known - hey come here closer i want to tell you somethin and norse leans into petes face. pete grabs and pulls him close close until his mouth is crushed gainst norses. norse opens his mouth and receives pete pressing moving tongue. neither one notices natalie comeing in to the room and turning and leaving - i mean how can you complete with two fags / two boys kissing for the last time / and this was to be the last kiss
norse gets high with pete / pete gets' one ready for norse. each time the needle packing a better punch - norse stays all night, all the next day and night - he's done - i gotta go man i gotta get the fuck outta here - i'm gonna call you when i get to la - i'm gonna let you know how cool it is - then maybe we could bring the band down there.
here you might as well do the rest of this = give some to natalie - - he throughs his arms around pete touches thoughs red red lips one last time - i love you man - don't forget about me
norse leaves the room, follows the upstaircase to the downstair hall - by the time he has reached the front door pete is shooting up natalie - by the time norse is at the front gate pete is shooting up the biggest whack of his life - the one that kills him
norse never knew what happened to petey. maybe years later someone gave him a round about the band that died/ that also help turn things into icons , at least in my opinion. i mean once you are dead you might as well be famous, if i recall correctly when given the news about pete, morrison and finally roger in the house fire, he didn't seem surprised. well of course they died. they never listen to the laws of the universe. do you know those men never prayed. imagine one prayer could have saved their lives. which always brings me to my own big question
do i turn left or do i turn right - naw i think i'll keep going straight ahead. ah yes
life is good
and so rob rankin takes norse phelps mcdaniels to la. the take the red eye from vancouver - it get's in around 5 in the am - the city of angels is a long white bright night sight / alls aglow like a million white pearls of light all connected
the jet is spacious, the drinks delisious, the stewardess hot. oh my god - i'd fuck her - i though you were faggot / well i am a faggot but it doesn't mean i can't jump on an occassion chick once in while . . i like to kiss girls too - plus i might have to kiss some girls on this set
from the airport they take a cab over to venice beach. there is a tiny beach cottage rented just for them
from the airport they take a cab over to venice beach. there is a tiny beach cottage rented just for them. ah Los Angeles - city of what ever you want norse they said we can have what ever we want. Norse wants whiskey rob wants coke. i'm glad we came a few days early get out yahyahs out. tomorrow i've gotta call daaveed he'll tell us where to go - tonight i want to relax what do you say norse - a drink a drink i need a drink to calm my nerves there's so much weird energy in this city - i know i've got to grab a vibe and hang on to it but i gotta find where the energy is coming from. i need to find a church rob. find me a church. just somewhere quiet where i can go for a moment you understand - church was a big part of my upbringing - it makes me feel - well you should understand rob you went to church when you were a kid - yeah but i hated church - it was something i had to do - some thing about being a johovah's wittness - makes life hard to enjoy all i wanted was easter and christmas - instead i had to read the bible - i ran away by the time i was 16 years old - - norse looks at rob - you sure talk alot - it always seems to end up being about you doesn't it - rob is silenced silence okay lets find you a church dear norse and let's find a liquor store on the way - -
later
you know you should believe don't you -
you should believe in me - you should believe what i tell you
i'm going to be famous rob - and if you want to love me that's fine
but i'm gonna leave you behind if you don't
forgive me father for i have sinned - i've had sexual relations with an unmarried person
and the father says - five hail marys and a prayer of contrition & norse's conscious is cleared cleaned out for a while - - i think there is a back log for sin - i think i can gather it for a long time - and not really have to worry about it - - besides - what are the real sins - sins of the flesh
my flesh my flesh and he thinks about rob and he thinks about pete and the hot stewardess on the plane & the girl at the desk down at little studios
