Eclectic before eclectic was cooool... i fancy Bowie, Eno, Rundgren, Hendrix, Prince, TDN, Zappa, Sinatra, and more-but speaks now to the would-be apocalyptic t
I have been writing songs since age 7 (first song, walking home from school was "It's God's Fault".) Never stopped writing and as soon as possible recording on anything I could get my hands on. Dad's Sony reel-to-reel, cassette recorders, ping-ponging to achieve semblance of multitracking. Then proper 4-track machines, then 8, then 16, then digital (early 80s) then in million dollar studios where I managed too often to fill 100 tracks ON TAPE (on SSL consoles, Neve) and everything in between. Have written thousands of songs, recorded probably about 400 of them. Have performed about 600 live shows. Made a few music videos. Always still writing, performing, and recording. [fun fact, my youngest son is one of the top songwriters in the music biz, world. Now if I could just catch a break, lol, that would be great! Oh well. So it goes.]

Lyrics
Maybe you would like emotion/to come and take you for the rest of your life, Maybe any kind of motion, for your life... Would you rather play it "single"?/fakin' happy, for the rest of your life, Is it hard to pass the screen test, for your life? Well you want to push it past and you want it just to do the stroll/ And then you feel like a heel when you finally let that mutha go.... Maybe you would like a screen test/to come and save you from the rest of your life, Maybe you just need some lessons from your life... Maybe you would like some ping-pong/ Holes and ditches on the edge of a world, Maybe you would like a war-zone, in your world... Well you want to push it fast and you want the little thing to roll, Like i'm thinking as you're thinking everything should be so easy to roll.. Is it your life, is it their life, is it all that too damn easy to fake? Is is just another body that some poor kid had to find in a lake? The bottom line is.....the bottom line.... (repeat verses 1 and 2) Well, you want to get it past and you want your little life to roll, But have you noticed all the questions that are just adding up in your soul, But you want another reason/to tack on like one more season To the last, good years, of a bull..... Slide a little closer, let me tell ya 'bout... Slide a little closer, let me tell ya 'bout.... the bottom line... the bottom line is....the bottom line........
