It's only a paper moon hanging over a cardboard sea.

A little project I worked on with

Kevin and Becky Tucker at Collide Creative.

This compact disk project benefits the people of Haiti.

The art is cardboard construction with pastels used for color.

Photographed and designed by Collide Creative.

"I've always thought Richard Cook hung the moon,

so I couldn't resist the chance to work with him on this

project so he could literally do just that." - Kevin Tucker

The US government broke all treaties with the American Indian. They viewed the Indian as poor, simple savages and therefore thought it was fine to not honor the treaties. Surely, the ones who negotiated the treaties probably felt they would be honored. It was a case where the US government felt superior and untouchable and they wanted the land and minerals , so they took them.

Davy Crockett

2010-11-06T07:51:00.000-07:00

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee

Greenest state in the Land of the Free

Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree

Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three.

Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier!

Pioneer Chicken Logo

Well, I pawned my Smith Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer chicken stand
- Warren Zevon

Linda Ronstadt recorded a slightly altered version of the song on her 1977 album, Simple Dreams. Rondstadt's version includes an alternate lyric that has Ronstadt pawning her "Smith & Wesson" as opposed to Zevon's "Smith Corona" thus re-casting our hero from writer to outlaw. In a demo version released on Preludes - Rare and Unreleased Recordings, Zevon also sings about pawning a Smith & Wesson.

Another cover version of the song was released in 1992 by Tejano music legend Flaco Jimenez and country singer Dwight Yoakam on the album Partners.

Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman
ooh-well babe, in my distress

I'm a rolling stone, all alone and lost,
For a life of sin, I have paid the cost. 
When I pass by, all the people say
"Just another guy on the lost highway."

Hey, I got an idea, let's burn books!

2010-09-10T13:07:00.000-07:00

"Books cannot be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can take from the world the books that embody man's eternal fight against tyranny.

In this war, we know, books are weapons. - Franklin Delano Roosevelt
