Suspended's Poetry Apprenticeship

Do you listen to Bob Ashley? I posted some of his lyrics higher in this thread. He's real great.

Please don't call him Bob

the transcript available muddies what’s spoken in the track, so better to gleam your own ideas of its word flow, has a lick of I Am Sitting in a Room acoustics as the vocals distort further, quite short too but effective tripping sounds for the uninitiated

Oh yes, been trying to figure out what his interest in UFOs is, actually. There were some sightings near Ann Arbor I believe. And he compared women to aliens in an interview. Something about communing with the other side, like Marcel's Bachelors & Bride, separated by glass.

Visited Ann Arbor (his hometown) last week. Got to see the childhood home (now a frathouse, shoelaced sneakers from the phone wires) and the Zal Gaz Grotto Club (a mason's offshoot, of which his father, Ward, was an early member—and Gerald Ford, some decades later).

Why not? That's what his friends and family called him.

Can't believe he went along with it!
it's just a pet peeve - but I guess maybe it's better than Bert
