Back in the saddle...
Music be the food of life, so I've been over-induging! The playing, the passion, the joy is there. The songs breathe and move; the sound is full and rich and I know I'm onto the right album here. I am hopeful--ever hopeful--that I wind up with too many songs so that I have a hell of a time choosing what to officially release.
At the same time of this musical reinvigoration (could it be my early spring?), I've also been hitting the gym with the same verve I did a few years ago. I've been feeling all the right elements are aligned in my life--my health, my thoughts, my physical regimen, my sleep patterns. I'm even slowly moving in a vegetarian direction again. There are no stresses allowed--even with the daily black reality being what it is, I know it's there and I'm not letting it bother me the way it may have in another time.
And a momentary editorial: you should be listening to the following--it's the perfect vibe for this kind of weather:
Donovan - Sunshine Superman (the EMI re-issue, especially for the 1st version of "Museum")
Richard Barone - Cool Blue Halo: it's the first and still the best because you feel every breath of it
The dB's - Like This
Pentangle - Basket Of Light
Now, on the flipside of positive thinking... In a time of trying to be understanding, I have to put forth one to-the-point statement/opinion. Nadya Suleiman should be publicly flogged. She's made a sick game of milking an already fragile system and looking for a handout for her 14 kids. I find it nauseating that the taxpayers of California are inevitably going to have to foot the bill for her twisted dream-turned-nightmarish-reality. I don't feel her story as "touching" in any way; it's hideous and she's simply insane. As I've stated before, don't come at me with a rebuttal; this is my opinion (although I'm certainly not alone in this point of view and many others feel even stronger than I). Once again, it falls into my theory of stupid people should not be allowed to have children. It's bad enough less-than-stellar couples will have more than one child and not know how or where the money to pay for them will come from--current society needs an abomination like this? Ugh.
