Well, it appears nobody reads this 
It's cool, I don't really write for anyone else, which is why I don't write much. Every so often I like to share my thoughts. Sometimes they boil over and I can't contain them. Usually that's not the case... usually I can organize my ideas and plans.
Today, organized.
Just thought I'd update anyone who does read this.
I've been reading a biography of Bob Dylan, and it's gotten me to look a little deeper into American folk music in a way I've never done before. Been listening to a lot of Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson, etc. along with my regular Rock n' Roll listening... Been rediscovering arena rock of the 70's and 80's lately, too. Current obsession: .38 Special "Caught Up In You"
It's cool knowing from a certain perspective what kind of guy Bob Dylan is. Rock stars (in his case, American legends) tend to get segregated from normal society, because they're so highly in demand, and then they put up barriers to protect themselves. On top of that, Bob Dylan's shy and reserved. His 'mechanism' for coping with media and fan pressure was sometimes ridiculously untrue responses to questions. Then he had his motorcycle accident and in about 1967 disappeared from the public eye for a couple of years.
Note to self: If I ever become famous, I need to take a couple of months a year just to disappear... maybe more. The pressure CAN kill.
Anyways... I don't even remember why I started writing this... just felt like feeling my fingers move across a keyboard, I guess.
If anyone is in Reno, my band is playing 3 out of 5 weekends in October, starting Oct. 1st at Davidson's Distillery. Stop by and show us some love! Any SG's who come, I'll even buy you a drink (or two)!
