About Me

I've been doing this music thing for 10 years or so. My songs have changed with time as I have grown. At first I was timid, lovesick and beige. Now I find myself shouting, putting music to my rage. My country has undone me- stolen my trust and my money- used both to fight an unjust war while ignoring the abused, the sick and the poor. First my church then my state took my voice and my rights away because I was one of the few, not one of the crowd. I live in a boy’s club now- where you're only right if you're loud. And that bully decider, that pork barrel provider keeps getting the last shout. So I’ve made a resolution to start a revolution with my mouth- the words that come out.Like I said, I used to be beige. Now I have something to say.

Heroes

I admit it- I love the show "Heroes." Maybe it's the old trekkie in me, or my idealism. Perhaps it even has a little to do with my bent toward mysticism- the connection of spiritual and physical evolu...
