Tommy was born to a piano teacher mother. He mimed and recited Shakespeare
in community theater.
He studied much too hard in school.
He bottled, brooded, wrote and drew.
Then one day he lost his mind.
He walked out of his job
Left his studies behind.
He only plays music now,
Melodic, honest, and brazen.
He lives for the piano
Thus he'll die a vagrant.
ADDENDUM:
Tommy met Krista at his work. He met Beau at his other work (the one he walked out of). Krista is a classically/soul-trained singer whose transcendent voice will kick any other singer's ass. Beau is a seasoned heavy-metal drummer from Oklahoma who has seen the world and turned it upside down, but is now pretty old and tired so he's settling down with Tommy.
The end.

Laurie Anderson Laurie Anderson is indescribably delicious. She's hitting McFarlin tonight with her new show, Homeland, and you can bet it will contain intellectual stimulation and pure unadulterated weirdness in equal measure. An album will follow the Homeland tour in 2009. More info
