About:
I am i life-long singer/songwriter in my late thirties who allowed too many distractions and bad lifestyle choices to come between me and my one true passion. Thus I have been one of the many unhappy multitude milling about like trapped mice in the urban ratrace yet going nowhere... The only thing that ever made me truely happy is music so I want to redefine its role in my daily life...
Thoughts about art and community:
Artists represent the true stages of human evolution in the community and globally - albeit through individual expression -the good the bad and the ugly... Thier work is often the rallying point from which social changes are begun...To paraphrase Keith Richards it is Rock and Roll - its ethics and its constant call for freedom of expression that brought down The Berlin Wall and I for one agree (loosely anyways)... Or as the uncomfortable observations of someone like Lenny Bruce, would address controversial social norms comedically, allowing dialouge to begin on what may have been once unspeakable taboos....
