grevious angel



Gram Parson's trip to the afterlife was twisted. Rest easy GP. Morphine & tequilla is a hell of a way to go out. The spot where he was set ablaze must be marked. I'm not sure I'm ready for a night in the room he died in.

Joshua Tree Inn


"Room 8 still offers a quintessential "Cosmic American Experience" to fans of the father of country alternative rock. On the peach colored wall hangs the same mirror and picture that hung in the room back in 1973." The mirror comment is intriquing; did Gram do drugs on the mirror?

"Today, a Guest Journal is kept on a bedside table for the scores of Gram's fans who have come to pay homage to the 'Georgia Peach'." (Just creepy)

They sell Gram Parson's t-shirts. Disturbing, but I'll probably take the field trip.

"Gram Parsons Room 8, Includes King bed with private bath, fridge, microwave, cable tv, private outdoor patio. This is where the father of "Cosmic American Music" went from rock-star to rock-legend...the room is haunted...bring your guitar and write songs... :-)"

It's $95/night, including a deluxe continental breakfast. Damage to your soul will not be refunded.

I believe I'll have just one more beer . . .
