LYRICS:
The Long Tail
I got a long tail!
I got a long tail!
I’m a survivor in the do-it-yourself trench wars going back to old punk rock.
I’ll even show you how, when I’m not too distracted
disseminating art in 100 directions at once.
While simultaneously focused as a laser where need be.
From DC to Frisko, to Berlin,…stuck standing in line at many post offices,
every day, for decades, sending out my merch.
My art.
Music, words, movies, more.
T-shirts. Stickers. Buttons.
It’s how we live in your life just a little.
Even wrote books in line. And proofed books.
No one proofs, they all just wanna write.
Everyone in your favorite café
is writing a screenplay.
But they’re never editing a screenplay.
That’s why their work is never made.
Also, they’re waiting for permission.
We just did it.
From WJWK, to
the one-stop sheep shop in my bedroom,
to BipTunia.
To Intergalactic Prairie Studio, and Purple Monkey Studio
I got a long tail!
I got a long tail!
It’s a long luxurious tail, the twinkling little part of the
new economic charts,
the far right part of the X axis, that goes on forever.
Where all the millions of us who each sell a few, outsell the dozens who sell millions.
It’s where we live.
And now just give it away too.
I got a long tail!
I got a long tail!
It reaches to Alpha-Centauri. And to the future.
And to dino rider past.
(DynaWriter past)
Touch it, bolt in, come along for the ride.

Two questions (1) what’s this film about and (2) did you actually write and/or edit its screen play?
It’s an imaginary movie.
I have directed / written some films though:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1543780/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
but films are so much more crazy-making than music.
Are you the maths guy? If so, I know a cool thing about maths and screenplays.
Wait … you know about me? Yeah I’m the guy who coined more than 15,000 new words for large numbers. (I’m not being hyperbolic)
I googled you.
Josh from Blair Witch Project told me his friend said that “screenwriting is poetry over math. And if it’s done right, you don’t see the math.”
