On the local scene.

Tragedy struck last night in Malibu Canyon

when 19 year old Tina Moore lost control of her car

and ran off a cliff.

Death was apparently instantaneous

as the car burst into flames upon impact.

The red haired Miss. Moore.

Hello

About last night

I'm afraid I was slightly inebriated

I said a lot of things that I shouldn't have

It's really not like me to act so childish

I didn't mean those things that I said about my father

Like I said, I was drunk

I hope you don't think

I was actually

Intending to seduce you

Actually I wasn't myself

Next time you're stoned lady

and you don't actually know what you're doing

and you don't actually know that you're horny

and you aren't actually yourself

why don t you just hop into a God damn cold shower

I hear you strumming that guitar all the time

all the time

but I've never actually heard you play

an entire song on it

You say you write songs

Why don t you play me one ?

Because you can't

and that thing that you hold so close to you

like a woman

you can't even play it

Hello ?

Hello ?

Don't spit it's expensive

Terry

I know how you must feel

Hey how do I feel ?

Well

Bitter ?

Confused

Confused ?

Then how come you keep saying it ?

Because everything was stacked against you

I tried Terry I really tried

but the judge was tough

How can a lady judge be tough, I mean...

women are supposed to be soft and cuddly

and they smell so sweet and pretty don't they ?

She was really sweet that one

I mean the way she banged her gavel

and the nice way she said

she was putting me away for two years

Look Terry if it's money you need why...

I can help you out

Why don't you just um

Not unless you wanna look like Mr. America or something

Right

See did you hear it ?

You didn't believe me did you

You know, when I lived in Tucson with my aunt

we had this bathroom

And it was right next to my bedroom

and in the bathroom there was this toilet

and all night long it would be drip drip drip

So you know what I did ?

I got myself a radio

and kept it on this all night music station

they played good music all night long

and listened to music

all night long

because I couldn't stand the constant drip drip drip

Boy that's enough to drive somebody crazy

Don't you think ?

Look at you you're all sweaty

We've got to get her out of here tonight

Tonight when it's dark

Terry...

Give me a kiss

Hey mom ?

You called me mom

What do you know

Can we go to the beach tomorrow ?

If it's not raining

I like the rain

It shuts everything out

You always said that ever since you were a little boy

It was raining when you were born

4:45 am

a son

A son I had a son

That meant strength and protection

something I'd always needed

You had your first haircut when you were two

Long blonde, blonde curls

I cried when they cut them

and cried when you wore your first long pants

and cried when you went off to summer camp

And then when they took you to the hospital with pneumonia I cried

But when they took you off to jail

that was the saddest moment of my life

All alone

two whole years

I missed you so much

You sleep baby

Just sleep

Sleep

Nothing is going to hurt you now

Just sleep

Baby
