October 3rd Tuesday
Got up, had a wash (which is unusual for me nowadays), fed the dog(which is unusual for me nowadays), made a pot of coffee and packed my bags. I got picked up from my house at 10am by the Atlantic girl Lynn Bond. I said Goodbye to my dog Colin and began the long journey to Boston. If anyone out there pays any attention to astrology then you would know that Mercury is in retrograde which basically means that life sucks. There is a feeling of heaviness and restlessness that you just cant seem to overcome but the good news is it will be over in a few weeks. Anyway, I got to Boston done a radio interview, met the Boxing Ghandis who are a wonderful bunch of people although they all look like they are carrying guns. I done the gig which was at mama kins in Boston. The gig sucked and I got a bit low and then went to bed. A bit of a weird day to say the least.

October 4th Wednesday
Got up with the feeling of doom again but decided to something about it. We had a bit of breakfast and then set off to Syracuse which is another horrible drive. I was in the car feeling very lonely and I realized that loneliness is a form of self pity. Let me explain... If the ego is "the feeling of conscious separation from," or in other words if I feel different from my audience or different from my waitress or the bum on the street etc., etc. then I'm consciously separate! If I go into a club and think "I'm Francis Dunnery Maaaan and there's the rest of them," then I'm consciously separate and that's my ego. Whenever we feel separate from anything then that's the ego. So basically the ego is the only block between ourselves and god (whatever god is to you). So I'm sitting in the car feeling lonely and I realized that I'm not alone but my ego has cut me off from god (whatever that is ) so when I realized that I got to feel a contact which made me feel good. Anyway arrived at the gig. It was a Jewish holiday so everyone was at home and the gig was pretty empty. I went on stage and played a good show and actually managed to have a great time. The Boxing Ghandis went on after me and they were fantastic. We all got up on stage at he end and had a jam which was cool cos I've been playing solo with an acoustic for a few years now so it was nice to play with a band again. I forgot to mention that I went to an AA meeting for a spirit refill!!!!!!!! I'll go now because I'm beginning to sound like Buddha again!!!!

October 5th Thursday
Another long depressing drive. I actually feel pretty good today and I'm writing this on route to New Haven. Its raining and my mobile phone has a low battery so I cant even bore the shit out of anyone. I don't feel lonely. I'll write again later bye x x x The gig went really well and it was basically a good day. I drove back too NYC after the show so I could sleep in my own bed.

October 6th Friday
Got up late, did some phone interviews and then went uptown to do a photo shoot for Playboy. Took Colin with me and all went well. Went downtown to do the gig at Tramps and all went well. Had a great gig and went to bed.

October 7th Saturday
Went downtown to the new Reebok store where a stage had been set up for me. I sang a few songs and then went shopping for a new bag for Colin because he has grown out of his old one. I paid all my bills and went to bed.

October 8th Sunday Packed my bags and caught a plane to Austin, Texas. Colin is with me so I have to keep taking him for walks which is sometimes a pain in the ass. I arrived at the hotel and went straight to bed cos I have a TV show at 5.30am. God,the things we do for fame!!!!!!!!!!!

October 9th Monday
Got up at 4.45am.for the Austin breakfast show, then went back to bed. I'm about to send this to my web site so I'll write about the show tomorrow. I'm doing the Stephanie Miller show all next week so I have been taking loads of calls about that. bye x x x x x
