So.......the other day in a radio interview, I was asked the following question: "what is something that your listeners should know about you as a person? " My response was as follows: "they should know that they should have better things to concern themselves with then minute trivia about me". That ladies and gentleman, is what you call a cop out, and for that I apoligize.
Despite the fact that what I said may be true, I do not wish to give the impression that I have some kind of secret existence that I hide beneath the guise of sarcasm. I intend to pay this debt that I have incured. Useless as the information may be, I shall provide it just the same.
In my effort to provide answers to this question I have been attempting to sift through the redundant and just plain boring. For instance, should I tell them about the outstanding omlette I made last night, or perhaps that awkward lady in the elevator, so many useless facts and so little time. I need to convery some sort of grandeur in my ramblings about my life. What is it that I do that is out of the ordinary.
The truth is that I work about 60 hours a week to fund the other 60 hour plus a week habit I have; this whole confounded music thing. So the time for these so called interesting things to happen unfortunately, does not exist. However in order to maintain my sanity I need to have a lofty goal to obssess over. Those who know me well, know this fact all too well and would probably describe it more with adjectives like annoying or compulsive......I am very easily distracted.
DIGRESSION # 1: With the silo ordeal, and the west coast tour behind us, I desperately needed a new venture to exhaust this need for a brain/physical energy consuming problem to solve.
DIGRESSION# 2: Those of you who know me, know that after the silo and such, I have been avoiding all forms of any musical creation resembling folk. In fact I have listened to almost exclusively rock and hip hop for the last month.
DIGRESSION#3: In light of digression #2 I have set aside my acoustic instruments, to make way for my current passion for the more distorted sounds. Over the years I have purchased a great many electric guitars, and played hundreds if not thousands more. Despite my tone explorations however, I have yet to find the perfect combinations of possible sounds in any one guitar. This leads us to....
DIGRESSION #3: Every tribal warrior must build his own canoe in order to reach his warrior status, every Jedi must construct his own light saber to become a true jedi....and so on ...you get the idea.
In order to become a true tribal warrior/jedi/ musician I must construct....my own guitar, (and if that works out, I may or may not commence production on my light saber.).
I will keep you posted on my progress.
cheers
