My Thoughts

This is a new section. Your feedback is much appreciated.



it's intresting.

i mean irony bleeds through his words. have you seen me lately seems to be a
response to mr jones or better yet, it's the inverse of mr jones. he wants
everyone to love him so he can be so damn happy. so he can be bob dylan. so
he can be an legend. wow. then it happens. then what?

we listen to the music. we get a piece of him, but it's just a little piece.

but listen he dont need us. he dont need us to buy the music to listen to
absorb. it's all for him. he writes for himself. period. we could be dead for
all he cares. maybe he is fading away. it's our fault. we absorb him and he
loses a little piece of himself. it's like the way i am with pictures. i hate
to have pictures of me taken cause they take away from me. they take a little piece
of me and i'll be gone eventually. that's what i think.

and you know what. it is a hate anthem. it's not our fault. the music is just too damn good. they should just keep it up. they should. incredible.
i'll make them disappear. we all will right?

its so good.



When i first heard the title track of the new record i
immediately thought it was about death but now that i have
had time to further examine it, there seems to be something
else there as the theme.

I remember someone saying, "once you recover a satellite, its
not a satellite anymore". That in itself says alot.
Perhaps all we are really is satellites. Destined to be in
orbit until that day.

Getting back to basics.
starting over. meeting other people.
we only stay in orbit for a moment of time.
we only stay in orbit for a moment of time.



This is about the Counting Crows song, Another Horsedreamer's Blues.
I wrote this a while back. I hope you enjoy.



well. i FINALLY found a copy of this play by Sam Shepard. And let me say
that i thought it was indeed exquisite. i wouldn't exactly call it sad. it
was depressing but it seemed like there was indeed a stronger seam that just
sadness. it was (to me) a play about art. and the artist. and the
interpretation. we often seem to get caught up in the art and forget about
the artist. i mean, whether we admit it or not, the general public has a
tendency to ignore the artist or treat him/her like dirt before they become
an artist. we are responsible for that art in one way or another. It seems
confusing to read the play and not find the word Margery in it anywhere, but
i think that more importantly, the play gives us a view into the song. If one
just heard the song they could NEVER understand all that it entails. i must
say that the music written for this song is incredible in portraying the
overall feeling. i would not go so far as to call it a depressing feeling
(as i sad earlier) but it seems to be a feeling of desolation: a feeling that
every artists feels from the painter to the poet, from the actor to the dancer,
we all feel a sense of loneliness. that's what makes good art. cody was an
incredible artist, one that is not common, but he was an artist. he was
treated so wrong, he had a feeling of desolation, but yet he was kept alive
just for what he produced. all artists are used for their art and their
lives are basically ignored. so sad, but it's so true.
Adam said at the new orleans show, "This song is about a girl that dreams
about horses, and it's about me." That says it all. That shows how he feels
and how we all feel sometime.
