I will break the snow man melt in my arms the bodies blood burns and then cools touching the screen has broken us down now the space between the media res the static cling the stool softener I will melt your icy ways age your hot face un-melt the glue un-melt the glue

the frayed arms of a broken dancer shadow play on the wall a red glow floods the chamber ah a tight wire heals a shattered horizon facing every way the haunter's ghost guards it's grace with longing

You can't start over We've burnt out and can never return The fall of everything leaves nothing behind No one stops the harmful when they're speaking loud and clear Saving things in landfill Nothing to celebrate Nothing to kill A vegan prison of entitled slaves one man's home is the other's cage

about

Yes Sir, a new kinda CCR... a lateral one. Just being silly. We all love John Fogerty and company... in fact he is kinda a hero for me, umm, err, maybe best stated as anti-hero... anyway, we ain't Creedence Clearwater Revival, we is Assertion and nothing but. JAWBREAD is our ninth album from our 20+ years of existence: work, rest and play.

Why JAWBREAD? What the devil does JAWBREAD mean? It is a made up word, but when you think about it all words are... are made up. Anyway, I just like the sound of JAW and BREAD brought together... like to gather becomes brought together. The jaw is a mechanical apparatus of the organic body and in the Christian prayer- said so many times in the/our so-called 'west' or western lands- we say/pray 'give us this day our daily bread'... does not bread mean 'food' in this situation? I think so. And so 'food' can be reduced to 'bread'. Okay. JAWBREAD.

This ninth Assertion album contains songs, improvisations, recitation of poetry and production/recording experiments. In addition to audio JAWBREAD contains a different photograph for each song/track.

The JAWBREAD drawing was drawn by C. MacQuarrie and seems to suggest a kinda/sorta child at a candy store thang/motif where the candy is represented as two dimensional symmetrical shapes which the child samples by licking but not with a tongue but rather with a kinda/sorta inner arm/fifth limb thing which rises from the child's throat/insides. Agh!... sounds crazy... well maybe it is suppose to... suppose to sound crazy in order to achieve a sorta/kinda crazy quality to fit in for our collective kinda/sorta crazy time(s)... I don't know, but if I did I'd guess that'd mean that I was even crazier... crazier than I all ready am!

Anyway, JAWBREAD is a truly wonderful piece of work. 'Enjoy'... just like that say at Coke-a-Cola company.
