52 NOW . . .
by Bradford Middleton
I
sit here now,
52
down & looking
forward
to what
this
future may
have
in store
for
me.
There
will be more
of
this, a lifetime
of
words still to
come
along & there
will
be more of the
smoking,
not so much
of
the drinking but
never
forgetting those
moments
of downright
insanity
which
somehow
always make
me
feel better &
who
knows by the end
of
it there may
be
something someone
feels
worth remembering!

Jack Garrett was an artist, actor, writer, and musician
extraordinaire. He played keyboards and guitar for several rock bands well
known in the downtown NYC area during the 1970s and ‘80s and opened for the
Ramones as well as for U2 with his band the Nitecaps during U2’s 1980s European
tour. He leaves a treasure trove of art, music, and writing. Mr. Garrett had
been put on warning at more than one job for doodling at his desk. He passed on September 28, 2011.
