Johnny Schou

Welp the bassist for Tickle Me Pink died of a Heroin overdose. OK this is crazy, How many people must die of this drug. My feelings on this drug is anger. I feel they should legalize pot, tax he hell out of it like they do cigs and use that money to really crack down on drugs like heroin, coke & crack. The government could make millions on the taxes to allow DEA & Vice to do what they need to do to stop this drug and help with rehab.

Music Artist who have died from Heroin related issues
Brad Nowell (Sublime)
Janis Joplin
Jerry Garcia
Jim Morrison
shannon Hoon (Blind Melon)

Empty Pot

I took this a couple of weeks ago. Damn the Leprechaun I say.

Emotion

Love is an emotion
tempered by fear
It makes a child laugh
And a giant shed a tear

Love can be you best friend
Or your worst enemy
Just know before you fall in love
If it was meant to be

Joshua Radin, Erin McCarley & Hana Pestle




I got an email about this concert from Hana Pestles newletter, since it was a slow week so I decide to go. I never heard of Joshua Radin or Erin McCarley before. I check out Joshua on youtube and liked his sound. Hana opened the show. She covered Janis Joplin and did one hell of a job with it. Her original stuff is really good and she has a great voice. She closed the show covering Radiohead's Creep. Several people have covered it and she is up there with the best of them. I can't waitto hear full lenght cd. Erin McCarley has a great voice. She was impressive, I have recently checked out more of her stuff on youtube and got her download. I am interesd in hearing her cd coming out soon. Joshua Radin is impressive with what he calls Whisper Rock. On many levels he reminds me of Robert Francis a person I would see again. I loved how Joshua closed out the concert, He walked in to the middle of the crowd and played. Something I cant say I have seen before.

Puddle Of Mudd

Puddle Of Mudd, Saving Abel, Rev Theory & Tyler Read. Well I missed Tyler Read cause I was waiting for Jamie but she stood me up so I arrived in time to see Rev Theory which was a great band. They have what it takes to make it real big real fast. They are also a fans band. Everywhere doing meet & greets. My cousin compared them to Nickleback. I can see why she said that. Saving Abel I have mixed feelings on. Granted they aren't bad but I will have to hear their second cd when it comesout to make my final choice on them. Saving Abel is like going through the motions on meet and greets. Puddle Of Mudd was fun to watch. Joking around on stage and just having fun. Wesley also said that AC/DC was the best damn rock band period. Hard to agrue with that. They were cool to meet. I had some pic but lost my camera that night.

Saturday

Its been an interesting week. Still abit slow at work. I got an email about a concert thursday night with Joshua Radin, Erin McCarley & Hana Pestle, So I went and enjoyed it. Saturday I went to a wedding with Tammy, It wasnt bad but it was at a place called Sable Landing Event Center. The place was really cool. http://www.sablelandinginc.com/ On the way back we drove by the Grizzly Rose and noiced that Great White was going to be there on Sept 5th. So I am going to go. It will be the 7th time I have seen them. Gotta love the blues stlye they play.

A Chance

When we are given a chance in love to find the one single person who you could spend the rest of your life with. Do we take it? Do we take a chance of following forward? I know A woman who I have this possibility with. There is a connection there. Granted there is a few complications but life has its tasks fr us to over come.
