Mystics from on high have received clear images
of Melissa Bech writing to Captain Rock:

I'm afraid that my intent wasn't quite as altruistic as that.  I
meant that I play music, and whomever walks in, my job is to be as
entertaining as possible.
MB>    I really DID do PR for a living.  I really did get TMJ.

Excuse me... TMJ?

I've made two albums to date with two different groups, but I really
wouldn't recommend buying them... I think they both suck, and in fact,
no song from either of them ever became a hit.  Please wait a few
months, until I can release my latest efforts (the album and movie
I mentioned before).  They'll be worth it, and widely available
because I intend to release them on a "sort-of" shareware principle,
meaning that I don't mind copies, although anyone who wants 1st
generation copies will naturally have to come to me.  I'll be sending
tapes of the movie to PBS's all over the USA along with permission to
wear them out in any way they see fit, and the CD's and tapes will be
sold with the same lack of conditions on their use.
That probably sounds crazy and/or stupid to some people, but I have a
feeling that with the fame I should get for this, greater opportunities
will present themselves.
MB>   I'm on a budget!
Tell me about it!

    There is a book called "It Works: How and Why" put out by Narcotics
    Anonymous in which some of the "god" words have been changed to
    reflect more open-minded spirituality.  I don't have their address,
    but usually there is a phone number for them in the phone book or
    you could call directory assistance and get the number for the NA
    world service office in Van Nuys, Calif.  This particular book discusses
    the 12 steps and 12  traditions (which are similar in a lot of other
    12 step type programs).  Let me know if you have problems getting
    the info, and I'll call my friends and get the address or something.
... Catch the Blue Wave!
