American Lesley Jane has covered my song, "American Way". It is an honor and a privledge to have your own material covered by ANYONE. However, when it's covered by a LEGEND, it's better than ANY grammy!

Greetings Everyone, Merry Meet, and How's it goin'? You've now entered what I like to call: Those of you that know me personally, know that I'm definitely NOT your 'normal' average everyday chick. There are many facets to me as there are stars and galaxies in the universe. Grab a drink, smoke 'em if ya got 'em, and enjoy your stay. My realm is your realm. When you're a friend you're family. Welcome "home"...

Lyrics
It's late at night, the traffic's light, and I'm wonderin'... Why people don't care about their world anymore... The guns are blastin, there's children cryin', there's hate and hunger, corrupt people in power Yet the radio's givin the "ALL CLEAR!" But ya know, there's gotta be a solution To the problems we all face everyday There's gotta be - there's gotta be a solution... That's just the "American way"... The kids today, they don't care about tomorrow They live in the now don't care about the past. Well somewhere someone got the lines crossed. Cos there's too many people out there who are lost. White picket fences, a dog in the yard, and nice big house The american dream wrapped neatly in a box Tears fallen, people torn, black smoke in the sky A shallow grave...too poor for a box. The flags are flyin, tattered and worn, dead bodies layin'...on the ground and there's no one around...no support to be found All for one, and one for all, you called me "brother" I'll write home to your mother... About how ya saved me in the line of fire you gave your life, so that others could live You came up...came up with a solution... that's just the "American way".

It's really nice to find other people who dig Beatlesex, American Leslie Jane and Jesus Oldman. Excellent.
