Crush is a Word


Dog Days of Summer. Turn up THE CARS. SummerSummerSummer
you turn me upside down. Can't really imagine a better summer than this
one has been so far. Creative energy off the charts, amazing new music, ridiculously
fabulous new friends. And the Muse tracked me down & put a spell on me. A spell
I cannot resist. Thinking today about words. I definitely have a love affair with them.
And at times maybe it's more of a LoveHate relationship. Words make some moments so much shinier than they truly are & by the same token? They can STRIP away a magical moment like paint thinner across a rare piece of Honduran Mahogany. In 2seconds flat. Yeh, I guess fabulous & fiendish all at the same time. Maybe that's the enticing lure? The dramatic ebb & flow of our lives wrapped in words.
A few years ago a friend told me that he was quitting everything to wash dishes in a French Cafe & find himself writing poetry. It still resonates in my heart & mind. This idea of absolute freedom. However, I think it may have been the way he said those words which was much more powerful. Yeh...W O R D S . I am passionately in love with you.
And to all those washing dishes & workin the day job to follow your dreams?
YOU are MY HERO.

OH Johnny & June. Does love like this still exist?
Lovestory of music, heartbreak & enduring passion...

Living in Victoria's Secret tanktops. Do they have a patent on SOFTest Tank on the planet?
No others compare. And since my days are primarily spent in the Ghettostudio..
What's the point in getting dressed?

Yeh I'm good. Don't stress me out on wardrobe right now...I've got songs to write.

Ok, I admit I'm late to the John Waite party. And it's no one's loss

Seriously, it worked in 3rd grade. Right?
I think we could bring it back again...

I've been reading the poetry of Omar Khayyam during studio breaks.
Can I just say SWOON WORTHY? Beside the fact that he resonates such deep truth & beauty thru passages of philosophy...he was also a mathematician, physicist & astronomer who
wrote treatises on mechanics, geography & music. Whoa. Yess
