POETRY IN MOTION

Speaking of nice presents, I found this awesome book in good condition lying on top of a garbage can in the subway today - I think it is a gift from GOD:

"HE WRITES LIKE HE TALKS, AND IT READS LIKE POETRY IN MOTION...  CRAZY FROM THE HEAT ISN'T ABOUT TABLOID CONTROVERSY, IT'S ABOUT STORYTELLING IN ITS PUREST SENSE.  IF YOU WANT TABLOID SCHLOCK, THE BACK ISSUES OF GUITAR PLAYER ARE FILLED WITH IT.  IF YOU WANT DIAMOND DAVE, GLITTERING LIKE A FAR OFF GALAXY, GRAB A PAIR OF SHADES, YOUR FAVORITE BOTTLE OF WINE, AND START READING.  THE ONLY THING THAT COULD BE ANY BETTER IS HAVING HIM THERE READING IT TO YOU.  THE MAGIC IS, BY PAGE TWO HE'S SITTING RIGHT THERE ON YOUR SHOULDER."

- Paul Gargano

(this quote is from the back cover, it is below a picture of Mr. Lee Roth, viewed from behind, walking in a parking garage along with two midget dudes on either side of him in purple shorts and baseball caps and flashlights on their belts, Dave is wearing jeans underneath assless chaps and one of the midgets has his arm around Dave's waist, actually the top of his butt, as helpfully highlighted by the assless chaps, Dave's  arms are held weirdly/triumphantly in the air several feet above the midgets' heads, one hand holds a beer)

(did you know Diamond Dave is an NYC EMT now??  IT'S TRUE!)
