Jeffrey Lee Pierce (June 27, 1958 – March 31, 1996)

Taken from the 1984 album, The Las Vegas Story and made to mark 25 years since the loss of the mystical singer poet that was Jeffrey Lee Pierce. The video features paintings from that other poet who tried to unite the the eternal and the carnal, William Blake.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour

William Blake

Painting of Gun Club's Jeffrey Lee Pierce (now with graffitti) done by the uber-talented local artist Angee Jackson. Look for this on the door to the men's bathroom inside the Double Down Saloon in Las Vegas.

*UPDATE* sadly this wonderful mural has been painted over with a cartoon of a skinhead throwing up in a toilet.

Shadows fall

where you fell

time flashes on

and it's time that tells

clouded less than sweet

against your dreams

violence always sits

just underneath.

yeah, it's the mean and tender poet of gun club. he's tragic, too. too tragic and too beautifull in his verses, i would say.
