Jon Nelson, an elder statesman of the bohemian and odd and Bay Area bus shepard par excellence dropped a line noting his recent foray into the world of blogging.

I first heard of Jon from my late pal Steve Millen, who saw fit to run some of Jon’s material in his celebrated (by me) zine Tussin Up back in the eighties. Since that material is the sort of thing that routinely gets folks fired these days, you’ll have to figure out what Jon contributed on your own.

Jon first got in touch with me about a year ago, as a consequence of reflecting on Steve’s death and having come across my archive of the zine (See link above; no, really, you should check it out – the zine’s hilarious).

Since then I have looked forward to receiving his occasional ruminations, and the very idea that Jon is now in the building makes me all quivery.

Ladies and gentlemen – Jon Nelson!
