Thanks for the link. I am glad to hear that your dogs are doing much better after my ginormous emails I sent you. My small time as a dog trainer has allowed me to make some peoples lives much better.

The Beginning to the best spring/summer ever

A year ago today I embarked on an adventure. For the first time in my life I packed up my stuff and moved out to be own my own. Kinda. For the next four months I spent my time living in New York City working with some of the best people in the music industry. I was lucky enough to be going along with a group of close friends. By the end of the trip we knew what we had done was something nobody else could ever experience. It was a once in a lifetime experience. I loved every second of it. Let me tell you something there is nothing quite as beautiful as a Florida summer but nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to a sunny day in New York city. Was I scared when I stepped foot on that plane? Not at all. I may have been unsure of myself, but I was never scared of failing. Why? Because whether I succeeded or not didn't matter. I was taking the steps necessary to live my dream. So for as long as I live I will be able to say "yes I did that" , "yes I went for it" and "Yes, I had the time of my life"

Press Action

A few years ago, I was lucky enough to land a gig doing press coverage for the G3 tour that included King's X, Dream Theater and Joe Satriani. It was a great experience because, I not only got to see Joe Satriani perform 5 feet away from my me, but I also got to experience the rush of being near the stage and all that it takes to make a big show happen. Here are a few pics from the event. Mind you I had absolutely no professional photography experience nor writing skills that would acquire me a serious newspaper writing job. But luckily it was a college newspaper title "College Sun" The venue was Pompano Beach Ampitheater. Check em out.

State of Music

So it seems that the talk of the town last week was Susan Boyle's performance on "Britain's got Talent". Kind of bullshit if you ask me. Not so much her performance. Which was great I might add ,but more so the judges and audience. I could point out each and every single individual in the audience who could have sworn this lady was mentally defitient and was ready to start making TIMMY!!! sounds based on her looks alone. Well just like Timmy, as soon as she got on the mic she shocked the crowd. LIVIN A LIE!!!!!! Making judgments based on looks is a part of everyone's nature. it is how we survive just like every other animal on this planet. We look at someone and we asses the situation. Are they good looking or not? Do they seem like they could pose a threat? Does she have a hot sister? All these things go on through a persons mind before the judged are even allowed to speak. Mind you I don't really bother with these types of show they are demeaning and over all sound like nails across the chalkboard to me. But i was so happy to catch a glimpse of someone sticking it to the masses by blowing them away with a great performance. While the general public gets blown away I see a group of people getting put in their place. When the entertainment industry is in a state of self implosion it is funny to see these record execs and so called "talent judges" being exposed for who they are. A bunch of know- nothings and talent bakers, ready to ship out their next cookie cutter boy band or single artist who is so hot that no matter what you think the song becomes a hit. It blows my mind how an entire industry is running on defcon 1 with alert color level black watch plaid, yet is so quick to push the dump button on possibly great artists just by looks alone. Mark my words, the only way this industry will continue is not by fending off illegal pirated downloads, but by getting back to the roots of music. A person looking to express themselves regardless of looks. What matters is the message. Does it mean anything? SO cheers to you Susan!! Frank Zappa how the world needs you still.

Review

Set up a review on you tube covering the Sandisk Sansa Fuze 4gb mp3 player. Go and check it out. My Led Zeppeling video was taken off along with alot of other peoples led zeppelin music related video posts due to legal matters. I am all about legal copyright but did Jimmy Page really have to be a dick to every guitar player that covers his songs. It's not like hes making any money on the performances anyway since you know their not touring any time soon. Dick move Jimmy, Dick move. anyway been trying to work on these music reviews from record labels like ATO and Mick management. So keep an eye out for that. Be back in a few.
