There a lot of references to the interview, like here, but the actual interview seems to have disappeared from any searchable internet database. This article has a broken link to the original interview...

Hey, when you can get to ABT is just fine. I mean, I'm 7/9ths did with it, so you still have more to read. 😄 Plans hold I'm out sometime during week 2 of January.

Charlie "Old Crow" Irons @ironchuck.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

Whatever you celebrate this week... even if it's just the end of the season and the year... I hope it's the most festive you can get!

1st Sunday since latest heart attack/infections to go for Sunday #breakfast at #EasyStreet #records & #cafe and this was waiting for me from the staff when I got there. Yes, I cried as I got hugs. Suddenly not feeling quite so alone...

Oh, you've missed all the excitement of heart attacks, strokes, and all the fun of dying... not to mention all the stuff about being an author and illustrator...

Know thy enemy know thyself. I learned who my enemies were, and that helped me keep them in check. Of course, I still had to choose to fight for myself, and I paid a price for waiting. But when I committed to the battle it turned everything around.

Getting ready to face my 1st day back in the world when a memory hits me: I once took a #Jewish kid and a #Muslim kid - already friends - into a #Catholic bar to teach them how to drink a proper #Scotch. Yeah; really need to #write that #book...

Weekly check in; while in the hospital for GI infections and heart attacks tragedy struck everywhere, it seems. 3 days coughing up blood not nearly as bad as the murder of #RobReiner. And #Australia?! AND #BUCKROGERS?!?!? #Book 6 out to readers, thinking maybe finding more? Soon going all #Linux.

Make sure you understand I could still use a whole lot more you in whatever is left of my dimming world, please...

I pop in here once a week to look around and check in. Today is one such day. Can't tell you how exciting it's gonna be to delete this account at the end of the year; once I get a few things done. I suppose that as The Universe reveals more in my dying I want for people less. 🤔

"Kissing a Fool" was my favorite song of his. I've even done it at a karaoke night once.

Charlie "Old Crow" Irons @ironchuck.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

I also have #Tumblr and #Pinterest accounts that'll probably get more active again, as well as - of course - No Genre Needed on @mixcloud.bsky.social.

Charlie "Old Crow" Irons @ironchuck.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Welp, it's that time of year again; where we see how long it takes for Wham! to tell us their tale of a broken Yule heart. That's right, it's #Whamegeddon. Except this year I'm already in #Whahalla thanks to a SoCal friend at 0323 PST on day 1. 🤦‍♂️ Remember this is just for fun, so go have some.

You may be the only one, but I do try to be thoughtful, just in case. More than likely I'm going to resurrect my old webpage and now dedicate it to creating my book series and tracking the end of my days; along with sharing funnies and music, of course: drawcharliedraw.com

I'll be shutting down my #Bluesky account at the end of the year. After joining at the beginning of 2025, dimensioning returns on the amount of effort put in, as well as all the adult content I can't filter, and other issues here just aren't worth it. December is my transition out; more to come.

14 casualties with - so far - 4 of them fatalities, and 2 of those children at a birthday party in Stockton, Ca. overnight. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I have maybe 16 months left to live and I am sick of reading about #MassShootings when I wake up. Sensible #gun control #laws NOW!

Charlie "Old Crow" Irons @ironchuck.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

It's been a year full of amazing #music; especially as I build the dream soundtracks to my #book series. And right now I'm really enjoying the new release by @hauntedlikehuman.bsky.social; which I proudly backed. (HLH has a song on the A Bedtime Tale OST for book 7.) Don't pass on this. Trust me.

Also; I rolled in Oakland a number of years, too.

I have a couple old neighborhoods up here, too.

Charlie "Old Crow" Irons @ironchuck.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

I don't think I like waking up, after being ill the past few days, to find out there were shootings in my old neighborhoods during the holiday, let alone a drunk 90 year old plowing their car into a coffee shop at nearly 75 mph on a residential street.

I keep a picture log of BP/pulse readings in my camera roll for my docs. This is literally the 6th pic in the roll right now. It was an... interesting adventure that day.

And having the honor of being on both my list of closest, dearest friends AND the list of things that have almost killed me, that would qualify you as an expert. Great story of friendship and honor, though; even if a little uncomfortable. (One of my personal favorites.)

Charlie "Old Crow" Irons @ironchuck.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

You just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you. I... I don't like this game.

"Friends and family, we've gathered today to pay out final respects to Charlie Irons. But first, if you'll get out your death-pool copies..."

Charlie "Old Crow" Irons @ironchuck.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

16 months. My care team says I should make it to my next birthday in March, but there's most likely not another in me after that. That may sound grim and morbid to you, but it's kind of a relief to finally have some kind of number to measure off. Of course, I should've died years ago, so...

#Youtube has been pushing a lot of #RobZombie on me the last few days, and today I found out why; a new #album is on the way this February. The first single, Heathen Days, is not his usual word salad, either. I had wondered what had gotten up with the man all these years on, now.

Post stroke, mainly. Dark places otherwise, I'm afraid. But new music has fallen into my lap that's got ABT rolling again; making OST for each episode, plus book 7 should be did next week. Soon I can start design work for book 1...

Got a couple of PMs and an email checking in since I've been radio silent this past week. I live; just under the weather and dealing with stuff, but thanks to those who asked. Here's a concept #sketch for the opening page for my #book series I'm #writing to show I'm still working...

Between the lack of engaging content on @bsky.app , my inability to get any engagement on this platform, and all the kink/adult stuff that still manages to get rammed into my eyes despite my attempts to the contrary, it's looking like it's time to go. #Tumblr or bring back my old site? 🤔

Charlie "Old Crow" Irons @ironchuck.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

So, still recovering from a mass of trauma when... SURPRISE... new #music by #Robyn! What? Hey, I know I don't look the part, but I really dig her stuff. And if you've heard my @mixcloud.bsky.social station, No Genre Needed, you'd know I'm all about music. ALL MUSIC. Try it; you may like it...
