The Science of Abstract Theory Conception as it applies to Earth and Other Planets

Listening to John Coltrane is like eavesdropping on someones prayers. Old people deserve more respect than we give them. Better to be poor and happy than rich and sad. Of course it's probably better to be rich and happy, I'll let you know if I find out! Politicians are not supposed to solve the world's problems, citizens are. Besides many politicians are really old and out of shape, so what the hell could they do for us anyway? It is never okay to hate. It is, however, okay to wish a severe skin rash on someone who has wronged you or disagreed with you in the hope that they will realize that the skin rash is a direct result of their inconsiderate behavior and change their ways. Hot sauce should be on every table. Everything should be open 24 hours a day. Kids are smarter than you think! In the 60's, music unified people and stopped a war, what does music do today except sell cars and electronic toys? If Mozart were alive today, he'd be really, really, really old! I'd still go see him though, if he gigged somewhere close by. I read a book recently about Henry VIII and they had this thing called the "sweating sickness" that historians have yet to be able to definitely identify! That had to suck! You start sweating and if you went to sleep within the first 24 hours, you die! No thanks! Elvis was really cool and that's just a fact, so if you disagree, look out for a skin rash! Guns don't kill people, it's the bullets in them that actually kill you. Aren't "energy bars" really just crappy tasting candy bars? Beverly Hills Cop is a great movie! Good workout music: Motorhead, Sex Pistols, AC/DC, Van Halen, Living Colour, Bad Brains, Billy Idol, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Bad workout music: Mozart, Buck Owens, Annie Lennox, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, The Beatles (sorry Richard). My motto is Don't Try. Music contains the secret to human existence and the molecules that are constantly being rearranged by the movement of various notes cast into the air is the forward motion of time and the expansion of energy and light. Good Loud is good, remember it was a Big Bang not a barely audible sigh. What's Good Loud you ask? Guitars, joyful screaming, Rock and Roll, any good music, fast cars, etc. Bad Loud? hand grenades, angry screaming, bad music of any kind, land mines, Kenny Chesney. How come we have smart people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Stephen Hawking and various scientists and business moguls and we can't stop global warming, our addiction to oil, stop genocide, feed the hungry, cure the sick or come up with a suitable answer to how to keep both sides of the pillow cool all night? I'm just asking...

Back In The Saddle

After a short (too short) vacation, we're back at it. Last week we played at our favorite stop in Louisville, Stevie Ray's. Good time, great people, fantastic staff. This week we head to Darwin's in Marietta, GA. and the Harley-Davidson shop in Maryville TN. The clock's ticking until the new record drops on June 26 and I can't wait. Thanks to Tim Obrien and Keith Kenyon, we've finally got a guitar tone to be proud of! I literally had trouble stopping while we were recording!
Have you seen Richard's Nature Walk on YouTube yet? It's hilarious. All pine cones should be kicked hard! Thanks to everyone who's been coming out to support us on the road, your faith in what we do makes us work that much harder to entertain you. If you haven't been to see us, what's your problem?

Florida Day 4

Today is laundry day. Everyone's going their own way this morning. Last night was an all acoustic show. First one with Richard's new Ibanez acoustic bass. Sounded great. Sun's shining, but when I'm away from the family, there's always clouds.
