Yeah, tha one sort of sticks out...like a convict's dick on visiting day after a month in the hole.

Nice indeed Scott! Reminds me of the musical I was running sound and lights for last month. It was based on a religious urban novel called "Abundant Rain"

[scottwoods]

Ugh. I hate the "theater" of "gospel plays" almost as much as I do urban novels!

Great essay yet again.

[scottwoods]

Thanks! I'd tighten it if I were doing something else with it, but this is good for now.

I read the entire post...and I never read long posts!

All points hit the target...number 5 seems to be ever present in our society, regardless of race. Country music boasting their silverado's and Hemi's, Rock Music with PBR's and Jagi's, music artists promoting movies, basketball stars promoting rap albums. Ungh...sorry, my AIM account just had a pop-up of 'entertainment news' and those seems to always put me in a bad mood in the morning.

Tangent: Will you ever be performing in the Savannah/Charleston area again? Although I'm an Alum now, I'd love to take the 2 hour drive to see you at SCAD.

I'm actually plotting on tryin to nail down an Atlanta gig. I just have to figure out which time of year would be wisest for me based on my work schedule.

So yeah, I'll be back down that way this year, just not exactly sure when. if I could set up a gig of some stripe in Savannah, that'd be even better.

I think that "gettin' her Eagle on" is the worst phrase I've ever read. What the hell?

And why don't you like kids?

[scottwoods]

Kids can smell the fear on me.
