Normally I try to shave at least once every couple days.
Once in a while I go out with some stubble or a sloppy beard.
Its very interesting to me to see the difference in the reactions
I get from people as I do whatever errands or whatever I am doing
as compared to when I am clean-shaven, its completely different man.
For example, the teller at the bank, the cashier at the store, they all
give me the cold shoulder, condescending attitude, stinkeye... when
I'm not clean-shaved because they think I'm a bum, but when I'm shaved,
people are friendly and polite.
I think this is very fucking interesting man, very fucking interesting and
reveals a lot of leads about the whole social dynamics and society and shit...
there is some definitive evidence here.
I mean, basically, the general public hates bums, am i wrong?
Your not rolling out naked, are ya?
No, I've got my robe on. ;)

If you were one of those rich assholes in Metallica, though, you'd have people fawning all over you, stubble and all.
The General Public loves and reveres those who have wealth, whatever their appearance.

You should move to the Northwest. It's full of bikers, Vietnam vets, three generations of hippies, and in my town, college students. If someone has a problem with longhaired, bearded guys, THEY can get the fuck out.

Nice quiet beach community you got there, completely unspoiled. Any topless chicks on trampolines?

I lived in the Northwest for a short time, I liked it there, the fucking redwoods man, unbelievable, a tree that feels like a grandfather, thats the only way i can describe them, fucking majestic. When I went into the grocery store for the first time and they were playing Grateful Dead as background music, I knew this place was the shit. But I just cant handle the winters man, thats the only thing.
I dig your style...and these rich fucks think they can get away with... while my buddies died face down in the muck.. and Dude, "BUM" is not the preferred nomenclature, "economically challenged" , if you will, and Dude, "nam" was the shits, ANYWHERE else, "this place is the tits."
It's Brandt at Mr. Lewbowski's, and I assure you we are not upset about the what have you.
Yeah, the winters suck here, but that's why you make sure you're stocked up on Kahlua...

Yeah, there are gonna be more and more "economically challenged" people as a result of the newly emerging high-tech corporate feudalism clutching the world.
Dudes of the world unite...the only thing we have to lose is...well, most of us ain't got nuthin'

coming up
our father who art in a penthouse
sits in his 37th floor suite
and swivels to gaze down
at the city he made me in
he allows me to stand and
solicit graffiti until
he needs the land i stand on
in my darkened threshold
am pawing through my pockets
the receipts, the bus schedules
the matchbook phone numbers
the urgent napkin poems
all of which laundering has rendered
pulpy and strange
loose change and a key
ask me
go ahead, ask me if i care
i got the answer here
i wrote it down somewhere
i just gotta find it
i just gotta find it
somebody and their spray paint got too close
somebody came on too heavy
now look at me made ugly
by the drooling letters
i was better off alone
ain't that the way it is
they don't know the first thing
but you don't know that
until they take the first swing
my fingers are red and swollen from the cold
i'm getting bold in my old age
so go ahead, try the door
it doesn't matter anymore
i know the weak hearted are strong willed
and we are being kept alive
until we're killed
he's up there the ice
is clinking in his glass
he sends me little pieces of paper
i don't ask
i just empty my pockets and wait
it's not fate
it's just circumstance
i don't fool myself with romance
i just live
phone number to phone number
dusting them against my thighs
in the warmth of my pockets
which whisper history incessantly
asking me
where were you
i lower my eyes
wishing i could cry more
and care less,
yes it's true,
i was trying to love someone again,
i was caught caring,
bearing weight
but i love this city, this state
this country is too large
and whoever's in charge up there
had better take the elevator down
and put more than change in our cup
or else we
are coming
up

That little strumpet! This whole thing, those rich fucks!
no man the public does not hate bums for being bums, but some some bums are disliked by some people for the person that they are and not because they are a bum.....see where i am coming from?
