I've decided that I have too many things to say that aren't being said, and that for some FREAKISH reason I like writing more than I used to, so I am giving this blogging thing another go (AGAIN). In the past my posts have been generally "woe is me" in nature, with a hint of humor thrown in for good measure. This time I'd like to take a different approach by giving my ideas about things that are really important to me: Art. Music. Life. Love. Conflict. It is a new perspective. A regeneration.
Don't need no tv, I don't need no phone.
Don't need a speedy car to get me home.
Don't need no nothing, all I need is time...
For the simple life. - Casey Abrams
For all of the good and bad, American Idol has produced some real artists. This last week I bought Casey Abram's debut album, and if you're a music lover you MUST give it a listen. Casey had a reputation for a youthful jazziness, a rustic and authentic honesty with soul. Man is this album good. Every song sounds like a single, and Casey has achieved what few artists are able to achieve with a debut album: He has stayed true to himself. It won't get the play that it deserves, but I fall in love with him over and over again every time I listen to those songs. He will be the type of musician that won't ever have a huge following, but those who DO follow, will be followers for life. Those are my favorites.
Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything. - Plato
