Southern Zen ( 2nd verse REVISITED)

VERSE TWO.

In every life we learn, that the page will turn,

As long as it is written.

Your couriosity, leads you where you'll be,

forbidden and forgiven.

The more that we create, share, and celebrate,

together, better we are gettin',

So, remember all the colors and the songs upon The Tree,

Those from long ago, and those we've yet to breathe,

Three, two, one,

Our family's become,

Come on and raise your hands,

Cuz we're livin' Southern Zen.

The Change of 1 : Potential

In the face of any situation,
We're only 1 idea from changing directions.

1 decision made by many at once.
1 leader on a new pioneering path,
Away from Peter's Principle with a prayer...
on the path, to Potential.

We are certainly 1.

Centrist Rise

In these days, each zealously pushes either to the edge of their own cliff.

Between the two, a hill rises high above rhetoric.

A vantage point for the centrists to watch the silly trenches dug around them.

Twice the Zing

Drip, espresso, and on-ice.
Sometimes twice, we like the zing.
Never boring, morning mysteries
Unfold, behold.
Most every time, we'll be.

God Loves The Noble, best.

Tin man created one of flesh and garlic oil.
Fed them down for the basic needs.
Yet holds them up with noble hope.
Era dirge by, if we don't rise for a sentence or sacrament.
Life is free, and it's proud and if...
For some, the challenge is not too great...
We will be rewarded.

No need to run from the -- story's already written in the blank of a tall one. Every step of the way, he already considered you a success.

Because God loves the noble, best.

VIDEO: Remembering Jellyfish

Hundreds of thousands of ALT-Rock fans of the early 1990s were lured into fan hood by two delicious records by Jellyfish, the most brilliant of rock derivatives in both lyric and composition.

Today, I ran across an article by Peter Lee that best pinpoints the artistic importance of Jellyfish in time and legacy better than any other article I've discovered. Read on:

Jellyfish: The legacy of power pop's golden boys
by Peter Lee

I was fortunate enough to sneak into the Denver June 1991 show as they opened for headliner rookie -- The Black Crowes. Their performance was unbelievable to hear.

And below is "The King is Half Undressed" video which started it all for me:


And below is a video from the tour... the Jellyfish harmonies join The Crowes on "Seein' Things" -- idyllic collaboration... it may take Johnny, Rich and Chris to ask Jellyfish to reform for a tour for a new generation to hear "PowerPop's Golden Boys" play live again.

W: The Perfect Crime

When industry is powered by government, society suffers acute fascism. Such corporate welfare often breeds corrupt-uous greed and results in the abuse of the nation's infrastructure , its citizens and their individual freedoms. Every time.

Difficult to investigate. Difficult to prosecute. It may be the perfect crime. The Accomplice? Everyone with a "W" sticker in front of me in traffic.

Damage done, I suppose we must be reminded that Freedom is a prayer for love and understanding -- and has absolutely nothing to do with the Fear they peddle.

Schoffs are Thinkers, A First Preference Made.

At some point we begin to prefer. Instincts aside, a first selection made.

Rather sit up and drink the bottle.

Lean forward, rather back.

Psuedo-Sit rather than lay.

Psuedo-Stand rather than pseudo-sit.

Noggin's Little Bill and Chris Mathews

These are moments in life remembered by those engaged all around you. I suspect your everyday is a magical tale unraveling before your senses. The story you remember is ours -- you will tell it some day.

Coming to terms with a cocker spaniel is to know they probably don't have a "stay function."

NEW SONG: "Gypsy Love"

Everyday
I feel miracles.
It's not nothing that I've done.
It's about my friends, and who they become.
Everyday

You're my grace.
For the first time I'm -- less cynical.
After all the situations I've sojourned thru.
My mysterious journey led me to you.
My, how you are my grace.

But none of it.
Without each day we together live,
Filled with every-thing-that-is.

And that's why I... thank God I gotta lady.
I love her, yes I do.
She is my woman -- you really should have one too.

She was overlaid -- and I was underpaid.
Like a quantum sum -- the music makes us one.

Lido-caine, now come -- Gypsy Love.

The Difficulty in Becoming

Being certain is required. Being careful is key. Sometimes, in our own hurt, becoming civil is the most difficult to do.

Live Show: Join me at Fountain City Coffee on Tuesdays from 7pm-8pm

Finally, I've secured a weekly acoustic show on Broadway at Fountain City Coffee. I'll be opening up for Trivia each Tuesday from 7pm-8pm. The barista's on staff can steam you a mean latte or share a glass of wine or bottle of beer with me.

I began writing songs on guitar 10 years ago, and by nudge and more nudges, I'll be performing many of the songs my friends and family have heard throughout the years... with a renewed sense of everything.


See you there at 7pm each Tuesday for the coming months. I'll have Southern Zen Hymnals printed out for you to follow along with me lyrically while you sit back and relax.

Others

Some people make things.

Many people watch things go.

Others make the things go better.

NEW SONG: On the Edge of Georgia (Be Like You Oughtta)

I had to come down.
Just to be like I oughtta.
Ride down the river -- to the Edge of Georgia

Where we can all dream.
About two hundred thousand dreams.
Talkin' about home -- where a workin' man owns his own.

Let's keep it all sane -- through the growin' pains.
Poor man, rich man -- brothers.
If you've ever picked guitar -- On the Edge of Georgia.

Where we can be like we oughtta.
Grab-a-guitar and a mandolin -- meet-ya-in-the Alabama backwater ya'll.

Where we can all sing.
About what freedom and sorrow bring.
Talk-about-the-whole-damn-thing -- by slammin' on skin and pickin' on strings.

Raise your glass and sing -- through the growin' pains.
Poor man, rich man -- brothers.
If you've ever sang The Blues -- in Columbus, Georgia.
