just ask, I'll pull it right out of my pants













Wow. This is a picture of Caroline Peyton, taken in Bloomington, maybe. Those EYES. Caroline used2do an impression of her mother that went like this: "Ya'll like mah lil featha-dusta hairdo?" real Tennesse Williams like. And, when a date would come to the house, her mother would yell up the stairs: "Carahline, you have a GENTLEMAN cawllah."

Thank u to HoosierMama for the photo!

One thing i always remembered about Caroline in Bloomington, she would hitch-hike in a tiny string bikini, Candies, and a big bottle of vodka.

And oh yeah, the other crazy thing i remember about her: she was hanging out with Yannis Xenakis for a time, and she told us that he kept his artificial eye in a drinking glass by the bed. So u know, she'd be in bed with him, and there would be his other eye on the bedside table. Ha ha.

So, no tour or shows or anything..2busy putting off various things.

the photo of Caroline Peyton was taken April '76 in Charleston, W.V., by William Tiernan.

reissues of Caroline's two Bloomington LPs ("Mock Up" and "Intuition") out next week from Asterisk--extra tracks, mastered from the tapes (unlike the bootlegged Fallout edition of "Intuition" that appeared last year), and liner notes in real English.

you're so misty, tell me what I wanna hear.
