"Joe Huettner makes the world a better place" - Jess Blasko, Ithaca, New York Originally from a small farm in South Central Pennsylvania, JOE HUETTNER's pursuits in music led him to the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where he plans to major in Songwriting. “I don't think people want to hear about sadness all the time, and that seems to be a majority of the songs on the radio now,” says Huettner. “I want to get some happiness out there, but without sacrificing musical quality. However, if a sad song is written, I won't hesitate to let people hear it. Unless it sucks." As well as Songwriting, Joe's interests include playing the electric bass, reading up on Roman history, and being a diehard fan of the Boston Red Sox.

Story behind the song
"The lyrics to this song were prompted by the phrase 'sell the moon,' which my friend Rob used in a poem. It got crazier and crazier as the ideas kept coming." - J.G.H.
Lyrics
I went outside last night Awakened by the sound of fighting I heard some men deciding where to put their advertising And as the sale went on The billboard spots were almost gone And as they sold the last away, I heard them say Chorus: We'll sell the moon Let's sell the moon We'll make it look just like the Pepsi sign What's more, it's now a cellphone tower Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? It's a shame this wasn't done before The sky is full of perfect billboards Before the night was done One company bought the sun, but it's fine They always said they had the lowest prices under it They made a new design So in the morning when it shines The entire human race is greeted by a smiley face (Chorus) The Big Dipper now holds frosted flakes And it's obvious who bought the Milky Way But with each passing of the Pepsi sign It seems we're running out of room But they're always room for Jell-o there someday (Chorus) ---- Joe Huettner: Bass, Vibes, Vocals Rob Leib: Acoustic Guitar Mike Orner: Drums
