Publisher's Synopsis
LINE SEGMENT PLUS GRAVITY is a collection of lyrics and anecdotes written by Los Angeles musician Jon Wahl, whose career has careened through the eighties punk days to grunge and indie rock of the nineties and onward into the new millennium. Through these pages, Jon has tied a sinuous line between emotions and geography, economics, music scenes, death, love and (of all things) pigeons. Here are fifty-two songs spread out in twelve chapters told in narrative about the journey of someone looking for love and kindness, though it seems he really didn't know he was looking for anything. As the frontman for the twisted punk/blues band Claw Hammer and his own project The Amadans, Jon's lyrics were written through a filter of e.e. cummings, Don Van Vliet and Mina Loy, washed down with a few bottles of wine and generated through a jillion footsteps.
