please deliver to Miss Rickie Lee Jones


Hi Rickie … 

I’m spending this new years eve day listening to you and thought … lets google how to contact RLJ … and alas and lo and behold … Emily … hope this gets to you. 


Besides almost a half century of taking in your gift  … I kinda have two connections to you … my old pal Jim Baggett interviewed you for some mag way way back in the day and gave me the enclosed fab pic of the two of you … all young and alive and pretty and glad to be where you were with wide eyes and hearts. 


And I worked for a time at Saturday Nite Live and was lucky enough to witness you becoming an over week star sensation ... maybe on the cover of Time Mag ... if I recall correctly.  leaning on your parking meter. 


Just want to thank you for your work. I am a writer and have always been more  inspired/influenced/impressed by stellar music artists ... zimmerman/joni/Laura/van/you ... than plain old scribes with just words at the ready.    


Have a splendid, sensational, surprisingly happy, healthy, peaceful, fun ’25 and again …

Abundant adoration, admiration and gratitude.

  My old apartment is completely empty ex for an almost empty bottle of Windex. It’s been less than a week since I left it and now it’s unlocked. I like to go down and visit.  There’s something strange and special about an empty apartment. Besides the echo - it evokes a number of things for me. The past, the future, quietude, melancholy, loss, Last Tango in Paris - where Brando and the young French sexpot both check out a beautiful empty apartment and I think Brando rents it and they meet there and have wild sex and he makes her promise to never say or tell him her name and vice versa and it's such a wild fantasy, two nameless people flooring it again and again for good or bad underneath a night skyway in the City of Lights.

  Have been indulging in all things mid century Roman lately - reading about the beginnings of neo-realism, Pucci fashion papparazzi. Watched A Special Day last night on Youtube - a very special movie. Sophia and Marcello are skyrocket superb. The script is, too. At one point while she’s making coffee, prettying up for him in front of the bathroom mirror and dealing with an old nosey neighbor - he looks at an album of Mussolini fotos he assumes is one of her six childrens. It's hers - a scrapbook of her savior and sex symbol. Brilliant.   Watch a ’77 Cavett interview with SL and MM on the Tube. It affirms you don’t have to be skinny and blond and twenty to emit  heart stopping sex appeal.
