The Donn Shaw Letter: This is my world, I maybe came from nothing, but I am Fucking Art Man… No one to coach me along in life… No one to say, “Hey Donn, you really kick ass on drums…” no one… not fucking family, except brother Dan… no Mom… no Pop… Anymore… Fucking nothing… But here I am and I am happy… Why??? … Because I have Brothers around me… Maybe they don’t view life as I… But they will, for they are family… My World… the world I created in the name of God = Man… that’s why there is love in the name of Brotherhood… In which I’ve created my world… My World… Fuck it. Sex is free, pornography is legal, and everyone is getting busted… in my world, we swing swords, love women, and relish treasure and thank God… My World, the world of Dungeons & Dragons… swim in it and feel good for this is My Fucking Art Man World – Donn Shaw (something created from nothing...)
