Suddenly Andy Goldman appeared out of nowhere -
standing in the showroom of my place, PhonesUSA, in the heart of West L.A.... Slowly,
slowly it all came back to me... the Stockbridge I loved so much... the Stockbridge I had
forgotton... Learning how to drive... Garbage trucks... Making out at the dump... what's
that... a tongue in my mouth??? Red dust... KP... plastic plates... Hans peering into our
windows at night... the lake in winter... the lake in spring... Toshi... Mike... Jackie
Jr., bless his soul. Mollie Sun... no Mollie Moon. Steve. Morning music... the Cuban
Missel Crisis... The long, quiet walk when Kenny was blown away... it blew us away didn't
it... Pau, France... Canada... fumbling around on the basketball courts. All of it. All of
you... It all started coming back... and when I got home that day, this night... I got to
see so much of it... Thank you all who put the Stockbridge sites together - for the work
you did - Thank you for the smiles. Let's all go out to Friendly's - the AWFUL AWFUL's are on me. Best of life to you all. Anthony Loder.(Tony Lee) |
