Hey Marc......LOLOLOL
Everything you say is Spot on and I you gave me two new ideas for songs.
I DON'T DO NEGATIVE & YOU CAN'T GET HERE FROM THERE....lol

BTW....It's NOT just Country Music that has diminished in quality in my opinion. I was watching the amazing four years of Mad Men for the past four years and the Finale episode was on at 10 PM last night and IT IS AMAZINGLY GOOD.....BUT I did peruse over to channel 17 to catch the Billboard Awards and seriously had to go for the Pepto. I really TRY and have an open mind BUT the songs and sameness of MOST of the songs was dreadful.

ALSO...and this is only my take on TAYLOR (Who I really love most of the time) is that even though she is the post popular Star in the world has taken a nose dive for the long term. She is NOW sounding just like all the Pop Women Artists....she still writes engaging and catchy melody, looks great and is a live wire but I just expected more in the way of Quality going forward. She is doing what Mariah did and I find it sad....BUT She is rich and powerful and I guess that's what she wanted.

I had an interesting conversation with my best friend Mike who is a Billy Joel Nut.....And he told me that he is Angry at him for stopping writing songs. He would love to know what Billy has been doing and thinking in the past 20 years and is furious....lol
I would also love hear some new songs but it's Billy's Prerogative not to do it for whatever reasons. I can think of a few but that's for another post......HE sure did have a great songwriting style BUT Still performs the oldies for sellout crowds.
SO that's my ravings this morning. I was just talking to my wife about how a few years ago I HAD to let go of the dream of being SOMEBODY in the Business.....Just didn't happen and had to let it go AND IT WAS HARD....SO now I write stories and new songs and just try and keep busy.

I'm doing a new Pro Life song ( Have a few now and wasn't always pro life ) called SIXTY MILLION LITTL COFFINS (All in a Row) and it's going to be an amazingly powerful song that I hope will move few hearts to pro choice for the unborn baby. I enjoy writing songs like that the most....and on and on and on it goes my Journey from THERE to HERE....lol
