about

Back to Andy’s mother, the artist: Julia Warhola cut soup cans into flowers, reusing, recycling, redeeming the world about her. This was pop. This is pop. Like a remix. Like something broken that then you fix.

Twenty-one, young mother, her infant daughter dies in her arms. In Slovakia. See the two of them? The Pieta.

Ru, my partner, who conceived the sounds of these song worlds, almost died giving birth to our daughter.

I wrote this for her, and them, and Warhol’s mother, and Andy, and you. It’s the voice of pop, maybe, all I can give. It says, “Live.”

lyrics

My daughter
born in October
deserves a better man than I could be for her

My daughter
born in October
deserves a better song than Cat Stevens writes for her

My daughter
born in October
deserves a better name than I could hang on her


Louise
Suzanne
Georgia

Your name
Is a love song
Sung by a broken man


And this is all I give
my love
And this is all I can give
my love
