DJ Loves You

“When we were young we were Diamond Sinatras like something I saw in a dream.”

The Gaslight Anthem

This is the evolution of a modern myth and quantum post-modern scavenger hunt in progress inspired by music, life, art and synchronicity.

Post-modern/metamodern, meta-fiction and evolving modern myth mixed with creative memoir/auto-mythology

Art heals. Music saves.

A note about how lyrics are used:

I scribble lyrics on paintings when they feel like part of the story. They are largely painted over and become part of the bones of the painting.
I use lyrics to give a blank canvas a direction, an intention, or a wish. It's intuitive and whatever feels right at the time.
When I use a direct line of lyric in an entry, it is often referencing a song or speaking to a connection between the song a painting or the story. Sometimes a lyric line is a part of monologue or a dialogue between characters.

Jackson and Mae will say "I wanna see you tonight." and "Would you come for a drive?" They are speaking to each other.

I use italics and color contrast to indicate when the way I or they chose to say something came from a song.
Lyrics are the original source of clues and they are referenced in that way.
Paintings are almost all named for lyrics that seemed to belong to them.
This entire story and these characters emerged from lyrics. However, to my knowledge I am not infringing on copyright to use them in this way.

I am happy to alter or remove anything that infringes on copyright.

This project is not endorsed by The Gaslight Anthem or any of the musicians and artists listed. ... yet ; )

I will love you back to life.

There is a textured painting of Cape Breton Island on the underpainting of this face.

His nose looks like an 8th note that merges with a J. He looks like he's taken a beating but the music gives me hope.
