You Are Enough!

Folow on Spotify

As some of you may know, I’ve been blessed to have my music added to Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and several other streaming platforms. Spotify, however, has given me an artist page that I can edit as I see fit. And to be honest, they’re arguably the most popular streaming service available, so naturally, I promote with them. My distributor offers “free” advertisements through a secondary vendor. And I gotta be honest here, the ads look sweet! So, like any other poor musician with low self-esteem, I signed up! But then came the catch twenty-two. If someone wants to pre-save my songs or follow me, they must first sacrifice their firstborn child to the Gods of Rock and Roll. Well, not their firstborn, but they are asked to allow access to their personal information. WHAT THE HELL! If you clicked the link wanting to hear, follow, or save my music, I’m sorry! I did not know that was a requirement until after I posted the links. Just click this SPOTIFY LINK and I promise you won't have to sacrifice anything.

Find Your Place Next to Nero

The Gods must think we’re crazy. Why wouldn’t they? Selling our souls by the hour, and for what? Politicians speak eloquently of racial and economic equality as if their livelihoods aren’t dependent on exploitation. And God forbid anyone dares suggest our government is broken or in need of repair. Oh no, that person will be labeled a heretic for sure. The hard truth is this: A person shouldn’t have to choose between a lifesaving drug and feeding their family simply because some ungodly rich executive wants a new yacht. What kind of human being does that? The politicians we’ve elected to defend against such greed are themselves paid off by big pharma. We spend untold trillions on weapons without thought of how they’re being used. But let someone suggest universal healthcare or even affordable health care. Well… it’s just too expensive, isn’t it? But if you are lucky enough to have insurance don’t worry, they’ll use every trick in the book to deny your claim, and they’ll get away with it too. It’s easy. Just throw a little money to our elected officials and bam, problem solved. Many of us, myself included, are just a few missed paychecks away from homelessness, and yet we still cling to the concept of American exceptionalism. But as long as we continue to allow billionaires and politicians to get away with lies and deceit, there can be no “true” exceptionalism. Because the vast majority of us are just trying to keep our heads above the water. The world is crashing down around us, and like Nero, we play our violin and watch it burn.

Nobody cares, so go ahead and do it!

Greedy, Angry and Spiteful..

Devil's game

Desires

We all have desires and expectations in life that go unfulfilled. It’s not that life is easy for anyone but damn it, sometimes a brother needs to take a break! I worked with a guy that teased me about my “failed” music career as if I had a choice in the matter. To me, a career is something you choose to supply your needs and wants. It doesn’t choose you! The truth is, I was going to play music no matter what and I never really thought of it in terms of a career, anyway. It’s just who I am. I love to write songs and short stories and if someone listens along the way, all the better.  Our daily work life doesn’t offer anything deeper than the monetary value we attach to it.  Truth is, we could all use a lot more creativity and authenticity in our life. If you’re feeling a little burned out, and life seems to be constantly beating you up, take a moment and do something for yourself. Do something you love.  Be the light God made you to be.
