The chilled night air blends into the heat from the vents.... rolling me up into a sleeping bag with a hole in the foot laying in the middle of a december desert..... millions of wandering souls stare at me from the sky as the live version of heaven and hell sores into the universe through the half cracked window. i fly down the highway with a thought that crosses my mind often... what happened....
what happened to the tony iommi's......the lemmy's....the devo's... and when did it become cool to dress like a pirate.... when did my life become so wrapped up in what people are going to think of my facebook headline that i cant even write a song anymore... will there ever be another record that affected me like slayers reign in blood, or neil youngs harvest.... a movie that will influence kids like the outsiders... or a comedian like eddie murphy in raw.... an R&B singer like stevie wonder....
will there ever be a music scene again... kids going to hard core shows and bands not having a million myspace fans... you had kids making there own concert t~shirts and waiting outside the club all day just to get smashed on the front lines for one hour. getting the weekly every thursday lining up your week of support.
is there ever going to be a movie that will make you get to the theater the night before to make sure you get a ticket like return of the jedi..... that line was out the mall and down the street.
the fashion statements of today are the fashion statements of every generation... and in 20 years i will be writing the same thing about that generation and quoting crap from this generation... not really... i will most likely still be sticking to the guns of my generation still getting inspired by the vocal stylings of ronnie james dio on the live version of heaven and hell just like i did tonight.
i highly doubt i will be referencing a "muse" song...... or talking about how "kesha" really started a fashion trend with that slutster cowboy manson children thing she's got going on.....
