Someday Im gonna write that one song. That one song that is better than all the rest. The one song that when its heard the listener says, Man, I wish I could write like that. Or WOW what a song! I dunno what its gonna be about or when its gonna strike but its in there, brewing just like a volcano waiting to explode. The problem is, other ideas keep getting in the way. I keep telling myself, ok after I do this one, Ill really get serious about developing the magic one. But I get into my music room and start recording and the wife comes in. We gotta go someplace. Or the phone rings and someones gotta talk. Back to the music room and the inspiratrion just doesnt hit. Mostly I write when Im jogging or nowhere near a guitar. My last few songs were written in my head so by the time I get to the room I just lay down the tracks and usually get them recorded in 3 or 4 hours before the mix. But not the magic one. That is the one that ill be so musically brilliant and scored so well that Im sure I will have to hire outside musicians to supply strings, temps, horns etc. Even with my limited vocal range, it will appear as if Im as good as Bobby Darin when I sing it. All I gotta do is get it out. Its there. Its comming. I know it is. To be contiuned.....eventually.

Somebody got me to watch Idol recently and Ive seen it a couple of times since. I can truly say I dont get it. There are only 2 people on that show that are any good. A GREAT singer named Melinda and another girl named Jordon. The rest are so vanilla its better than taking a tranquilizer. No matter who wins this years contest both Melinda and Jordon will go on to great careers in the music business. Where have all the great artists gone? Where are the Sinatras, Dinos, Darrins etc. Oh yeah, theyve all died. Too bad there isnt anyone on the horizon that had the qualities they had. And what about the great songwriters? It used to be that a song painted a picture. Take Dean Martins "Evening In Roma"... YOu can just see a warm night in Rome where romance is in full bloom.... Done without the thump thump thump of a beat box! And who decided being bald looked cool???? Huh? I can recall that in the 60s and 70s... bald was ugly! The only bald guys were Telly Savalas and Yul Brenner and both were, well you know....ugly. OH well, I guess its OK, it just makes the rest of us with hair look better.... Dont even start me on tattoos. Why in the world would you want to defile your body that way??? Used to be that the folks that had tattoos were the real barroom dwellers with sayings tattoed on their arm like...Born to Die! Today, even the girls have tattoos. Yuck petooey. What a turn off. On Saturday night live in the 70s, Steve Martin used to appear with a simulated arrow shot thru his head. Everybody thought that was funny. It was rediculous to think a guy with an arrow in his head would be walking around. BUt today were not far from that with what I see people doing with their pearcings. Eyes, tounges, boobs etc... They must do it to enhance the tattoos. Oh yeah and it fits right in with the sub woofer mentality pounding out the last bit of sence in their brains. Soon someone will put an arrow thru their head for real...cause its cool.

So Im sitting underneith the shade tree in the field near my house when I see this blind Bunny meet up with a blind Rattle Snake. As they bumped into each other the snake asked the bunny, hey what are you? The bunny said I dunno, Im blind. The snake said, so am I but Ill tell you what, hold still and Ill check you and and tell you what you are. So the smake coils himself around the bunny and says, "you have long ears, a furry body and a soft cottin tail. I think you are a bunny". So then the snake uncoils anl lays all stretched out so that the bunny could feel him with his foot and roll on him too. The Bunny said "humm, you are cold and slimey, your skin is scaly, your eyes are beady, your skull juts out at the side and you have a long pointed tounge. I think you are........an Attorney"1
