Hey, Baby!

Young Adam turned three today! Adam's a great kid, a happy kid. Laughs at the drop of a hat.
Whatever happened, I apologize
So dry your tears and baby, walk outside
It's the Fourth of July

On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
The Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July
—Dave Alvin

Hi Chunk. I know Dave Alvin wrote it, but it was all about X playing it. Although that was tha lbhum that Tony Gilkerson played guitar, as Billy Zoom was "on hiatus".

You gotta love John and Exene...

You're a handsome devil, Chunk. But, get a haircut. Those rascals sure do love their Uncle Chunk. No doubt Mom and Dad are grateful you are willing to give monkey rides and wrestle with abandon. Nice photos B.

Yes, X. Love 'em. But I've seen Alvin in concert, and he deserves all the credit I can give him.

Haircut? Yep. Guilty as charged.

Dave Alvin opened for X when we saw them at the House of Blues about three years ago. It was the first time we heard "Boneyard" and were blown away.

Nice job Chunk. It's nice to see your musical tastes are not too obscure, but that you also don't wallow in the mundane crap from the brain-dead 70's that too much of our generation considers music.

Do the kids a big favor, Chunk. Buy them this book and tell them the truth about their world.
