Leonard Cohen

Went to go see Leonard Cohen the other night (April 5) and it was an unbelievable show. He played for over 3 hours and the music was ridiculously tight. He sounded better than ever! I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to see this living legend — who happens to be one of my biggest influences!

If you have the chance to catch this tour…. do it!

Chinese Democracy

As many of you may already know, Guns N’ Roses new CD Chinese Democracy actually has a release date! Unbelievable. Us die hard fans have waited for what seems like forever. I look forward to hearing it in its entirety. I will definitely be picking up the album when it is released on 11/23/08. We’ve waited a long time, Axl.

You can listen to the title track at http://gunsnroses.com

Joe The Plumber

I am so sick of ‘Joe The Plumber,’ even if he does have a good barber.

The American Economy

With all this stuff going on with the economy, I just have to post some lyrics for you to check out.

I added ALL of the lyrics from Big-Hired Assassin, Freedom Of Existence, and my album Buy One, Get One Free to the site.

The lyrics I want to share with you are from Buy One, Get One Free — all directly related to the economy, or at least mentions some of the stuff that that is going on with the current ‘Economic Crisis.’

Buy One, Get One Free has 20 tracks — folk rock — and was recorded between 2004 and 2005. It was released January 26th, 2006.

• 222 (Peace And Love) - Mentions George W. and his famous ‘nucular‘ comment, along with a million other things like microwave ovens, Christmas trees, pills, and Blockbuster.
• Off Of My Mountain - One of my favorite ‘rant‘ songs that I’ve done. Love the lyrics.
• Digital - Bringing the Troops home, war, fear, tv, terror — powerful words.
• Clock Of Blues - All about ‘punching the clock’ and not wanting to.
• Spectral Commissioner - You should listen to this one on headphones. Wild… doesn’t go with the album theme, but that’s one of the things I like about it.

Congress unveils rescue bill

As I was updating the site, I had to go through all the lyrics, and check the links. Having all those politicians sitting around talking about corporate greed while our troops fight made me REALLY want to link to a song I wrote in 2005 called Digital.

These lyrics just bring it home for me right now…
