Let’s Dance! Bizarr-o Ted was doing Algebra for a psychiatrist who was rambling on about delusions of grandeur. Ted turned to David Bowie and asked, “so..what do YOU think?” The Thin White Duke replied, “THAT’S NO WAY to TREAT A LADY!!”
What Goes On? This one is dedicated to my friend Shay Dee who is going through complicated times. ‘One Minute Born, One Minute Doomed, One Minute Up, One Minute Down, What Goes On in Your Mind? I think that I am falling down. Lady be Good, Do what you Should and YOU KNOW It will WORK ALRIGHT! It will BE ALL RIGHT!’
You’ve Got Her in Your Pocket (white stripes cover). To Ask: Where does the Music want to go? How should I direct the Music of humanity? What is it that humans use Music for? Pleasure? Why? Over the centuries, epochs.. did humans derive pleasure from sound? When did it start?

Been Insane. This was written by the still living guitar player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He quit the group for a brief time in the mid 1990’s. During the hiatus, he penned the tune. Also on a brief note, I am changing the way I create. I will (hopefully) lay tracks, take a break and draw images, then after a few hours, mix the recording and post. I have another new image on the way. This seems to work well […]
