Percy S. cooled down. Dusa gave up, broke up her band, went home, got stoned. Kim Era (nee Kimmy Cameron from the Fable Farms complex), however, is still a problem. She’s been turning up at the Bullfinch for his kiss-and-make-up duties still breathing fire (girl’s got a 5-cent hotball habit) and scratching growling hissing at anyone who comes near her. Defensive posture or performance art, her days are numbered. Whatever the case, she’s down to do a set at the Bullfinch tonight. The ever-eager Billy Phonics has been told (but mysterious Bullfinch “assistant manager” Joe Bates) to do an opening set. At first it seemed Billy had no idea what he was in for. Then he turned up with a horse bridle, a dog leash, a skateboard and a new song, “Harry Beaver”:

Squishy thighs

Gallons of harm

Underground mercury rising

Vaults on Easy Street

As if an angel dropped down from the clouds

Turn in the wind, horse’s ass

Which world which world witch world

…or something like that. Somehow, a spell was cast. Billy, whom we never knew had this in him, blew off the stage, left the bar, went home and crashed. Kim seemed stunned. She sang a bunch of folk covers, sobbing a little while she did it.

Tonight: Polly Idus solo acoustic at the Bullfinch… Fancied Monsters at Hamilton’s… Pie and Reenie oldies revue at D’Ollaire’s…
