michele was the first gemini
girl
i ever went out with. she loved U2, we saw the unforgettable fire
and the joshua tree concerts at the sports arena. she was way into
the cure. her parents were so amazingly nice to me. Her mom would
always make food for me but michele pretty much ran the house and
turned her awesome brothers and mom and dad into vegetarians so all
they ever had that i would eat was super natural peanut butter and
seven grain wheat bread. Her brother looked and played like a young
jimi page. Her dad was as soft spoken and gentle as could be. michele
always was fighting some cause and i was always making fun. once we
drove up the coast and pulled over near Monterey and she saw a whale
and nearly cried telling me about how pollution would kill it in a
matter of years. or some shit. im not saying she was wrong. i just
thought it was awesome. and funny. meanwhile she gave me shit for
being into bruce springsteen and ac/dc. these pictures make her look
all serious but she was totally fun and we loved each other lots.
She broke up with me three times in three years and it wasnt till
i read this astrology book that i realized it had nothing to do with
me. geminis, it said, just lose interest. for a year i lived in Inglewood
right by the forum and i worked in west la so sometimes i would drop
her off after a long night at her pad in malibu and instead of driving
all the way home, id park behind my work, sleep in my cadillac and
work in the morning. ah, youth.
not that i fight much, but once we faught outside of the malibu cantina
while eddie van halen played a surprise gig at Trancas and the whole
fight i said, can we just continue you this in about an hour? needless
to say, i didnt make it into the club. we could hear eddie rock while
we faught in the car and i kept asking is that erruption? truly an
LA fight. what was it about? beats me.
