I'm a republican, I believe in working for what ya want..don't believe in goverment hand outs...especially to countries that hate us !! I believe in PEACE FIRST..If the peace thingy don't work, then kick butt..I think THE USA should take care of THE USA first, financial security and an awesome HI-TEC military..key word HI-TEC ..incase the PEACE THINGY don't work !!!....so hi-tec all the way and Don't mess with THE USA...then if any of our tax dollars are left ...AND YOU DON'T HATE OUR GUTS...then WE will help your country..((if you are born in a certain country it belongs to you)) not a DICTATOR...so stand up for your rights and country....FIGHT BACK PEOPLE, TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY BE FREE...AND BE A WINNER..get out from under the THUMB!!!....God, Family and Country First...!!!!**ok on Heaven and Hell thing..i believe or think, that the planet we live on is or is becoming hell......so ya have hell on earth, when ya die thats Heaven cause ya ain't in hell no more...just my thoughts .....so don't be freakin out...my thoughts are mine and yours are yours...there good to have.....thinking about stuff is a good thing....BUT don't over think it....that can cause lots of problems....,..ya think...**ok on the life is a bitch thing, yes i guess this can be true, and for some more than others, life being a bitch is better than never being born, at least thats how i feel, just don't marry one dudes and you'll be ready set go....***ok on terrorism, i believe all terrorist groups are financed and run by all middle eastern countries, this way they don't have a central command for us to attack, but they are all our enemies...they all chip in for the mobile terrorist activities...this way no one can't point a finger at a certain country, and if you do they say no no no not us we love the USA.. i say bullshit...9.11, is living proof and it will happen again, they out smarted us...and they are working on a new plan right now....surprise attack....can anyone say pearl harbor....9.11 same thing.....so leave it to our so called leaders to protect us and hope for the best......**Well about the other me...I'm a ROCKER, I'm a singer/songwriter..musician...i've been a writer since the early age of 14. ***Sometimes wish i would a never become who i am...it's hard sometimes...a writer that can't stop or can't control what he writes can cause problems for himself and others..I write true hard core songs from the center of my soul, they can hurt, but no one would know the hurt the writer feels....you think you hurt !!! be in the middle of it all and see how that hurts..**..I started learning to play the guitar and started writing songs at the same time. I write from the heart and things that happen around me..I learned some songs at a young age, ( sweet home alabama, stairway to heaven, smoke on the water, etc..) but felt there had to be more to it...so i started writing from my on experiences..and i believe thats why i still play today..everyday a new day a new song....I write for myself, I Think i'm a pretty good songwriter, all my songs are 99.9 % true real life things thats has happened to me or people around me, i don't write alot of fantasy or fake subjects !!! i'm not seeking fame, but fortune would not be bad...everybody needs money....I hope to have a CD of my years of work out in the near future, got alot of scratch demo stuff, been in alot of rinky dink studios where the guy running it does not know anything about music...well that want never happen again..if ya don't act like ya care, i'm outta there.. studios are not cheap, but the wrong studio will just take your money, and give ya no bang for the buck..enuff said on this!! i have a home studio i'm working in and it ain't cheap either....i want to share my tunes with the world..i also have a band called the DUSTY SOULS, we will be putting out a 2 cd set or 2 at one time...we have way to many good songs to just do one cd,, then hope to do a live acoustic type as a follow up,,we also will work with other musicians on this project, bring in whoever whenever ..MY MOTTO ABOUT MY MUSIC SELF IS "PLAYING AND ORGINAL SONG CRAPPY...BEATS THE HELL OUT OF PLAYING A COVER SONG PERFECT...I GET NO SATISFACTION PLAYING SONGS OTHER WRITERS WROTE...BUT I DO HAVE A FEW COVERS I DO MY ON WAY..THAT MIGHT END UP ON A"DUSTY SOULS ALBUM"....OK.....i wish i had the time just to play and jam all the time..but i have to face reality, ya can't live off others while ya live a dream....well thats enuff about me...come by listen often, always something new..later...** HEY** WHEN YA LEAVE HERE STOP BY THE *DUSTY SOULS* MYSPACE SITE.***..**DUSTY SOULS CAN ROCKIN ROLL THE PLACE**....LATER...

Sounds Like: YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, CAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL...UNLESS YOU ARE MAKING THEM MONEY..THEN THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING...YA THINK !!! **Sounds like ? original !!!.....i don't believe in sounding like someone else...copying or covering someone elses sound or style is stealing to make a buck.....so i always strive to be as original as original can be.....of course you'll have influences...thats different, but don't cheat and cross the line thats stealing..be who you are..find it it's in you somewhere..believe me it ain't easy...it's even harder when there are so many different styles inside your head....you can't be it all to everyone, so don't even try and go there.......i did and never made it back out and might not ever..we'll see****** Well i don't comment much on my old band...GARRICK...we started as an all orginal band..i didn't mind doing a few signature type covers that we could put our spin on..but doing our on stuff was always the goal..we did pretty good..lot of writing..and a lot of good material...i believe if we could have held it together and got into a real studio..we would have made it..we add enuff great tunes for 12 albums at least..We started in a free rehersal space in the old famous BON-AIR HOTEL..we had a kick butt set up..we were there for 5 years...then we ended up in the old JAYS MUSIC STORE on broad street...let the good times begin....movin -on....my brother Todd when he wrote his lead guitar parts he would always take us on another journey with in the song, he would not do your typical just play a lead and move on...his writing style is one of a kind...it complimented my lyric and melody style...i'm not saying this because he's my brother..the dude is amazing lead writer..because it is different..not your typical copy another guitar style...he also penned some very good lyrics...our original drummer Tommy, was another amazing player..his drumming style was another fit that was hard to replace...when he left the band we tryed...to replace him..it was hard...and me being impatient...did not want to search and search...but we did find a good drummer....John fit the part pretty well..but it was never the same for me...the feel i wanted was not there ....but i believe if i would have stuck it out..it could have worked...over the years we had done a lot of gigs...we even opened up for alot of big acts...to many to name..and i don't want to sound like i'm bragging....our bass player was a dedicated one of a kind also...Mike and myself co-wrote some kick butt tunes..we were all pretty tight...then i went AXL couldn't see the big picture...i thought we were turning into a cover band...which we were sort a....i remember arguing about the speed of a cover song, that we had already i thought had worked out ( hard luck woman )....and then i did the wrong thing...i didn't tell anyone except my wife..that i was quitting...she did not believe me....i did not even tell Todd my brother...i just went and packed up the next day....i'm sure i hurt Todd...playing with him was so much fun..it was awesome we had some crazy times...i loved every second of it...it was never about making money or trying to be out there in the lime light..it was about playing AWESOME ORIGINAL ROCK N ROLL.....i'm not sure if Mike would have tryed to talk me out of it....i can't say now what would have happened...i really was never a cover band type, i just could not get into doing what had already been done..so a crowd could have some back ground noise while they talk and get drunk and holler out ..play.. sweet home alabama...but thats just me....!! I will be putting together a re-incarnated verision of GARRICK, just trying to find the right guys for the group, i'm not searchin hi and low..i feel the guys for this deal will find me....enuff said ...so i want to finish up by saying to my old band mates that i'm using this as an outlet to say i consider them Rock n Roll brothers 4 ever...and i'm am sorry if i did hurt anyone.....i'm proud to say that everyone has moved on and is still playing the music that makes'em happy...so to Todd, Tommy, Mike and John...i enjoyed what we did...you guys rock...and always will...and i'll have to be honest here...i do miss rockin and a rollin with you guys......thanks ....Tim Garrick 4.9.2008..OK THE TIME HAS COME!!! BANDS WE OPENED FOR....Drivin n Cryin, Fabulous Thunderbirds,38 Special, Blackfoot, Foreigner, Eddie Money, Mothers Finest, Rick Derringer and Quiet Riot......** REO Speedwagon was rained out...and the Black Crowes were a no show......** .. .. .. .. ..
