2017 .. (Ryley !) - if there’s an ‘afterlife - however wild & wooly .. one hopes he’s up to his ass creatively in ‘the proverbial alligators.. .. i read yer ode in truly high hopes .. as I found his endeavours & ‘tude just resonating ‘TimberTom you & this outlaw should touch base .. as i’s th guy with somethin to say with him.. talk sum turkey.. & the way of the ‘indie artist - one hand wavin free.. His ‘perspective deserves a ‘fair jousting .. vis a vis The Book & The Film .. but wait ! There’s more !

It’s why i coined ‘mediatribe - along with Richard Cortes - which was & remains - ‘just an idea.. (which of course was ‘annexed - but McLuhan’s & his Co-Author Derrick de Kerckhove & The McLuhan Centre of Culture & Technology anticipated ‘generalists & Artist/Business Persons - ‘manning the outposts of culture & technology

It’s my belief he’d have had some fun with some sly & shifty dialogue - i don’t dare to even try

as it deserves ‘true talent .. even ‘found talent.. ! & What’s the fun as Director if one doesn’t ’push talent to take ‘performance somewhere I might only dream of .. It ain’t in ‘the Book or my Script.. like something they hatch & conspire over with late cocktails with my steadicam operator..

Great Story .. & it Hurt too..

I’ve lived a life of wild ass Happenstance (what you & Riley had goin on & Serendipity on another shoulder .. plus repeat whacks of Synchronicity ..
