KINDNESS AND MAGIC, THOSE ARE THE BIG ONES

About Me

still standin. still livin, still believin in somethin though not exactly sure the name of it, or what it consists of, just know that it comes from the heart, it comes from a hope to make things better, it comes from the desire to not be afraid of the challenges but to rise like the athlete and take on full force that which would otherwise seek to destroy my spirit. and to let the adrenaline carry me. and to let the love carry me. and to believe in a deeper form of human peace that surpasses language, science, technologies, and resides under the idea of "being".opened for dr. dog and delta spirit in winter of 2007. part of underground LA folk. part of something in the east I don't know the name of yet.

Allen Ginsberg, + Adam Green

I'm considering them for my next cover albums. That is all. They're both geniuses, I'm convinced.
