elvis and britney and john and ringo and bruce and...

i don't like when people bust on singers or artists out there. is britney spears as talented as john lennon? no, but she's not saying she is. she's an entertainer. when the beatles were new the parents said "it sounds like noise". lotsa people think elvis is a joke. they called the beatles mop tops and nothing more. ringo can't drum. really? no? he's not that good? hmmm....he was good enough for john lennon and paul mccartney! yeah, i guess you're right, he sucked. lol. YOU try it!

bruce can't sing? bob dylan can't sing? really? listen to lay lady lay. listen to tangled up in blue.
"music today sucks". they say that sentence every generation.

i love all of the folks above. i love dylan, i like some of those britney songs. she didn't write'm folks, they're written by some great writers. i like yoko ono. john loved her. if you hate her, then how much did u really love john?

i hate hate. i really do. ya better love this life buddy, it's all we got.
"bruce sucks". no he doesn't. you suck for sitting around saying this sucks and that sucks.

tom petty looks older.
so do you! so do i!

love this life, happy christmas.

i am opposed to SAME SEX marriage!

I think couples should have all kinds of sex! switch it up, try different things! why should we have the SAME SEX every night!!

for the past few weeks...

i had the privlege of working and playing with a few talented musicians and songwriters at delaware valley friends school. the project was called "world up" and chandler, morris, elizabeth, zoe, jesse, winslow, tague, simon and reid wrote songs of change. change for the better that is.

the students, myself and a few great teachers there put on an assembly where the songs were performed. the last to perform was myself and sharon little. she sang john lennon's masterpiece "imagine". 

it felt like we all did for those 3 minutes. 

i really enjoyed "teaching" whatever it is that i've picked up along the way in my years of making music, making friends and thankfully making money to continue making more music and friends.

thanks dvfs for the experience.

what would happen...

if i stopped facebook?

cancelled my myspace page?

would my brain have more room in it?

would i lose friends or oppurtunities?

would it be a great thing or a bad thing?

tell me your thoughts!

natural organic computer friendships, warm and fuzzy usb ports etc.

the internet is unnatural at best.

unnatural things happen.

it's unnatural to stare at anything for hours, as we do the computer screen.

it's unnatural to marry someone that, at first, was a jpeg.

mostly i find the re-connection of old friends (via myspace, facebook) the most unnatural thing.

there is a reason you're not actively still friendly with your childhood friends: 

you got new ones! you got older! you moved! it's 30 years later!

how many people can you stay in touch with? every friend from every decade?

these exciting at first, ultimately weird feeling email reunions usually go like this:

"hey, 'member me from 3rd grade?!" 

"omg, i do..wow how ya been??" 

"great, i have 3 kids and i am in marketing and my wife stella is a stay at home mom" "awesome, last i saw you, you were throwing up on my hair" 

"so......ok...." 

"alrighty then" 

"right back at ya tough guy" 

then the inevetable silence. 

no more emails from old friend. 

no more messages from old friend. 

nothing. 

just dead silence like the seconds after a snow storm in montana. 

now instead of having a fond memory somewhere in the back of your mind of so and so from junior high or the neighborhood, you have a very active current thought of the fact that you two are defintely not active friends anymore. you now know that you can get in touch with them and they can get in touch with you and you are both currently...NOT. 

i'm not sure but i think i just got blown off by my first girlfriend! 

that, my friends, is unnatural.

booked solid: 3 shows featuring me doing nothing at home!

the furnace is hot, the stove is on, the books are getting dog-eared and the trash is out.

yes, home is good.

upgrading and updating my studio, aka treble in paradise, has begun today.

new songs on the burner and time to sing'em.

gearing up for a show december 6th in west chester where the sisters three and sharon little and myself will be playing.

met with the folks at delaware valley friends school earlier this week where preperations for a winter project with the students will culminate (that is a word, right?) in a show featuring songs written by and with around 8 kids. 

the school is unlike any school i am used to, in that the students look like they want to be there.

i can see why. it's like a house with every bedroom a different theme. bacon cooking here, discussions there, music over here. 

last night i read a book of quotes. thinking i may break some out here in blogland soon.

how are you? whatcha doin' for thanksgiving?
