So Kosick was supposed to shoot this episode of My Awesome Crap with Hisao, but he got super busy so Schwarz stepped up and did the job. I think Schwarz gets a little tired of doing whatever he does for us. What he does, I believe, is he posts the bits onto jackassworld once they are edited. Well, he does that and works on Loomis’s iPod. He has a film degree from somewhere, so I guess he knows what he is doing. At least I think so from watching what he shot and edited with Hisao. Anyway, Schwarz, you did a damn fine job, damn fine.

Now about Hisao’s “crap.” I think it’s safe to say that a hat from Waylon Jennings, a hat AND a guitar from Townes Zan Zandt, and a 500-year-old Japanese mask don’t qualify as crap. These goddamn things could be in the Smithsonian. (Sadly, as some of you remember, the guitar Townes gave Hisao was destroyed when a fruit crate was dropped onto it after he performed at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market shortly after filming.) Hisao is a special soul, an artist through and through, and I sit in awe of him, his music, and the troubadour’s life he has led. Many miles and many stories along the way. The recollection about talking to country songwriting legend Guy Clark the day Townes Van Zandt died left me with tears in my eyes. I think it goes without saying that’s a first for My Awesome Crap. Anyway, enough of my blabber. Sit back and enjoy a very special installment of—um, I’m not going to repeat the title of the show again because I kinda said it in the previous sentence. Okay then, hit play my friends.

Sincerely,

Knoxville
