There is no love in the world these days. I'd even take it as far as to say there is no real romance left. And with that, such a self-indulgence in people that they cant fathom seeing anyone, other than themselves, as the heroes (Self worship) of the world. Kids are not jaded, which is why they have heroes outside of themselves. Ask a child what his/her thoughts are about crucifying Barney. The answers might be very different than ours.

Consequently, no interest in crooning. History shows us that everything comes full circle. So it will come back around. In the mean time, I'll just listen to the Walmart Overhead Muzac, while I go shopping for tennis shoes with lights.

However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear lodged in his chest with a cricket bat up his arse while he is on fire.

Especially if she's the one who did it. LOL!

This is something I struggle with. I sing with much more feel live, I suppose everyone does. In the studio I have a hard time getting the emotional aspect of the song recorded. I'm currently working on covers of "Solsbury Hill" and "Comin' Into Los Angeles"; I'm back in the studio tonight to try the vocals again.

When you focus only on the lyric, you'll have a better session. Have fun!

And with that, there's still an abundance of love, romance and dreams in the world, Dog, one just has to look outside what they see in the mainstream. Once it becomes mainstream, then it will become polluted in some way, the powers will be will take you, sign you where they'll own you, and you then have to do things their way.

Most of my life has been straddling the line between mainstream and outside of the box. I pretty much detested the mediocrity during my high-school days. I absolutely hated radio after 1972. The fact is, all the 60's bands were done and there was not one soul after that, who could craft anything new ( that hadn't already been done by the best of them). IMO It's been that way ever since. Today , we are inundated with talent-less hot-bodies who are told to follow some lame assed template (as per the requirements of exec producers) . Seriously, how the hell does a 'formula' translate to the real craft of song writing (and how can any of it possibly express love, romance, dreams?)

I listen to lady Gaga and I laugh my ass off. There is absolutely nothing profound about her "musical" skill... She has a hot ass, and is the closest thing to a 'chick with a boa' that the music industry has right now... This begs the question: How does a chick with a boa get into a "music" business? They used to have a branch of entertainment called Caberet (Which is not music business) ...Why cant they just admit that they are selling caberet with Lady Gaga? Instead, they pass her sh*t off as a musical artifact... It makes me wanna power projectile.

So, you see Chaeya, we've all been lied to and hood-winked by the entertainment industry. My whole point is that IMO, the "craft" of song writing is all but become a thing of the past. It thrives in closed circles, but has effectively been cast out of the Entertainment industry and replaced with "Formulas and templates".

What we hear on the radio today, is a different kind of craft. Its legitimate in its own right, but truthfully I would not call it the real craft of songwriting, per se. I would call it the craft of technical prowess, which borrows from the principle of song-writing (to provide some framework) for what amounts to virtuoso performance... The music industry today should really be called the "Licks & Chops" industry" When Van Halen pulled off a fancy riff... what exactly was the intent of that expression.. which mesmerized so many listeners? (Answer: It was a gimmick and nothing more)...
Radio offers nothing but Pure, Unadulterated chops & licks, 24/7. We can blame the markerts for that one. So if y ou happen to walk down Fifth avenue some day, just hock a looey at the first suit you see... Its ALL their fault

If the PR person is a woman watch out!
A study has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle. For example: if she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features.

However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear lodged in his chest with a cricket bat up his arse while he is on fire.

No further studies are expected on this subject

Well ...Now that I know that, I guess I can sue Gillette for their new razor, as being the cause of a kitty-kelly stiletto finding its way up my ass...
