Artist picture
Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Lyrics
Bad Signs Words and Music by Ron Tintner © 2013/2014 ASCAP My folks were shocked, my friends upset The day I brought you home I thought them open-minded… I should have known The times they are a changin’ but not Changin’ fast enough They only see our differences They’re blind to love (They say) It’s not about religion Or the color of your skin Or even that you're Democrat And I’m Republican But some things are unnatural They’re written in the stars We may wish they’d change But that’s (just) the way they are You’re a Pisces I’m a Leo You are water I am fire You are ruled by Neptune The Sun is my sire They say we’re incompatible So why not end it now You’re a Pisces I’m a Leo, We can make it anyhow The world is out to split us up Keep us far apart To each his own, that’s how it is We might as well give up But the time has come to toss aside These nasty old taboos We’ll stick together. You and I Will make it even though… You’re a Pisces I’m a Leo You are water I am fire You are ruled by Neptune The Sun is my sire They say we’re incompatible So why not end it now You’re a Pisces I’m a Leo, We can make it anyhow I know it looks impossible Just us against the world I’ve done my research; The signs aren’t set in stone They’re subject to the influence of Venus and the Moon We’ll play the cards we’re dealt, Play them like we’re pros (We’ll) turn their rules upside down Everyone will know… You’re a Pisces I’m a Leo, But we’re more than just our signs We’re not the pawns of planets Or the way the stars align We’re a force of nature Not just any boy and girl You’re a Pisces, I’m a Leo And we’re out to change the world You’re a Pisces, I’m a Leo We’re about to change the world
