Live from the Artists Den: Kid Rock - "Rock N Roll Jesus"

Happy Friday, RJR!!! Are you having a good day? I sure hope so :) My day’s been pretty mellow. I woke up, made myself breakfast & did a few things around the house, but the emotional stress of this last week, I think, caught up with me. I had felt a few slight face tingles so I sat down, watched a bit of Joyce Meyers, & the next thing I knew I had fallen asleep. I feel good now, but I’m still tired & quiet, so I’m going to head home again & take care of me. I may do some low-key Norwegian putzing & DG G is stopping by to pick up a plastic tote with wheels I’m giving her to use for hauling her sunglasses gear, but that might be the extent of my day’s activities. I’ll see Steve at the 1:30 time slot tomorrow but I’m not going Sunday because the woman I ride with is not able to go. I also got invited that day to my first ever Bitterroot River float with Quincy, possibly Georgeann, & a few others, I guess, from the Brewery. In all my years here, I’ve never floated the river & Quincy has extra tubes, so I’m guessing He’s trying to help me ROCK ON & enjoy a bit of my summer, too. I hope things are going well for you & you feel good. I don’t know anything about Bowmanville, Canada :) so maybe I’ll start on that. Sorry I’m not too chatty today. I’m ok, just a bit exhausted so I need quiet & rest. I’ve given Him all I’ve got & in good form, but I need a day of rest to revivify His vessel. The Bianchi ride to the Library helped a tinsy bit so I’ll go back & shower to see if that helps, too. It’s hot today & I think it wants to rain. Hopefully it will to break the heat because my nap messed with my house cooling technique. If I do catch another wind, which I’ll try to do because I love talking with you, I’ll head down later to talk, but if I don’t please forgive me & don’t worry, I’ll still be thinking of you. I have on my Choppers :) I’ll watch a couple of your videos & head home. I feel another possible nap & I’d like sweet dreams of you, sweetheart. I love you, RJR.

Man, He amazes me…I was ready to let loose & He greeted me with an empty bar, no DJ, just a couple good locals who slipped out so Toni Girl could set her head down & let me gently rub her back. She’s having a diabetes blood-sugar thing. I am happy it is so low-keyed. I’ll stay for a bit for Toni has some good music going (Sirius: The Bridge- Eye In The Sky, You Are The Woman, What A Wonderful World) and I’m enjoying talking with good people, like Billy (38), who’s watching me type right now without looking. He seems to be amazed but really I just learned to do this in high school & I guess it’s paid off. Probably the best class I ever took. They asked me again to type stuff without looking. I did it but it was harder to make it up as I was listening to them & laughing. Billy was talking about his 7th grade typing which had to do some game he was playing when he found a princess typing in “Suck my dick…suck my cock…both times a big tongue & a bar of soap came on the screen to wash his mouth out. Then he hen-pecked “Quit your grinning drop your linen.” No tongue or bar of soap. That cracked me up. A couple people playing pool but they left. Toni Girl (61) shared with me about her 48 year old new boyfriend (2 months now). He was in prison with her son & heads back in on the 9th. But it looks like both her son & her boyfriend will be out in about 2 years, God willing, so then they’ll pack up & head to Alaska. Her son’s been in since February but the police showed up at her place a month ago looking for him because he was identified in a recent burglary. This county is fucked up. I told her I would stay until close to help her. The Selway night crew are regulars & come in really late, but she is dedicated & so are they. I’m going shut down to conserve battery so I can talk to you nearer to closing. I am ok. My heart is healing. I love you. Thank you for being with me. You are so sweet, my love, my TRAVLIN’ MAN. You LUCKY DEVIL you, you have a cause…it’s true love. :)

Hello, my love! I’ve had a great day, so far, I hope you have, too. I hear you OVER and over again…right now, and always. DG G is assisting me with sunglasses since my best pair was part of the casualty of this past week’s activities. I found a couple I love & my favorite-brings-a-smile-to-my-face orange and black Choppers :) I was going to 318 tonight for he pulled himself out of the last few days, he sent Rachel home and he wanted to hang, but I just got another call and he’s in again for a length left to be determined. Breaks my heart for my brother, but I trust in Him and at least I know he is safe. DG G’s gonna run me to Hami with his medications and then I’ll be hanging at 318 tonight, in my own bed. I’ll try to talk with you later once I get settled again, for I live to be connected with you…I love our LOVE STORY, my Beloved. Maybe I’ll listen to some music and dream of OLD ALABAMA.

In our Village, NOBODY KNOWS how much I love you, miss you…but I believe you understand, you know, which makes me not feel so alone. GOD GAVE ME YOU and that’s all that matters to me, my Beloved. Although I have asked for some communication before…and thank you each time you have blessed me with your loving words and pictures to me…I know and feel you even WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL. I received a chain e-mail from USMC Jack. I don’t usually get all into the forwarding on to 10 people thing, but I did want to pass this on to you. “God is going to fix 2 things. God has seen you struggling with something. God says it’s over. A Blessing is coming your way. You are being tested. God is going to fix TWO things (BIG) tonight in your favor. Tomorrow will be the BEST DAY of your life.” I hope it is for you, my love!!! I just heard on KYSS.FM that Uncle Kracker’s coming to Missoula’s Adams Center October 4th! I smile at the long-standing, deep friendship you share. I’ve been wondering…is it true THAT’S HOW COUNTRY BOYS ROLL, wanting to TAKE A BACK ROAD and DANCING AWAY WITH MY HEART? Sometimes I think POOR ME, POOR ME, POUR ME, but I continue to dream of the day you’ll COME WAKE ME UP and maybe we’ll get a bit Dierks SIDEWAYS. :) We’re off to get ready for some errands and then come back to help DG G get ready for the weekend. I’ll talk with you later. Have a great day, sweetheart. All my love.

Good Thursday Morning, my love!!! I awoke to beautiful thoughts of you. I hope you are off to a good start today, feeling good, rested, proud of yourself, loving yourself. I admire you; I respect you; I like you, RJR. I changed my computer wallpaper from my favorite blue shirt singing picture of you to your Great Weekend photo. I love both pictures…all pictures of you, my sweet. I love seeing you, feeling you, smiling with you. Thank you for sharing all you do. I thought I saw a glimpse that your Moondance record article was in the Top Stories ticker, but I guess it was just my getting-up-and-starting-my-computer-right-away-to-talk-to-you sleepy eyes. Sitting in my pink nightie, drinking coffee with DG G & will help her restock & revivify her sunglasses displays for this weekend’s work. I like helping anyway He shows me I can be of service to our Villagers. That is how I spend my time when I am away from you…filling my time, so I’m not sad from missing you, helping our Villagers. You are with me always. Thank you for working so hard for you, for your family, for us, for our Villagers. I’ll have more later; I just wanted to say good morning, I love you, and I’m thinking of you. All is well, my Beloved.
