While I'm not a CPA, I could play one on TV. For that matter I could put on a dress a play a tv one on the telly (for you Kev).  While the drugs do contribute greatly to your viability as an artist, be advised that you shouldn't include them on your expense reports. I repeat, do not leave a paper trail! They are one of those things, kind of like the 50% of you meal expense, that are not deductible as a legitimate business expense.

hee ha, krav, now that's some must-see tv i'd watch. i'll take your hard-earned wisdom about deductions into account *wink nudge*

luckily (sometimes..), i'm surrounded by a family of lawyers and judges to help, um, guide my way, although my personal attorney Lazlo advises me to take this...(*gulp*)   :+)

And what do you mean you tour more than DB? The USS Wisconsin gets pulled out of mothballs and goes on a 16" Guns Tour of the World as frequently as David gets out!

verily his is a mighty ship indeed, but in these dark days of spending cuts and the even darker headlong flight towards military and musical 'modernization', archaic battleships like the USS Baerwald are threatened to be but mothballed museum pieces of a bygone songwriting era. we must start a foundation to keep hope alive! i'll put $200 towards DB's tour expenses were he to come out SF way again...
