"As I look over this beautiful land,
I can't help but realize that I am alone.
Why am I able to waste my energy?
To notice life being so beautiful?
What of the people who don't have what I ain't got?
Are they victims of my leisure?
To fail is to be a victim,
To be a victim of my choice.
Maybe partying will help..."

I would love to open a jazz bar here in Canton, Ohio. A dimly lit place with jazz deejays and maybe bands. We have no integrity here though. I have seen nice places close up or turn into something else for money. For popularity. A record store maybe. A record store of interest and culture. But, again we have no integrity, no desire to expand our minds and lives. You keep listening to the radio and, watching T.V.. Me, I'm just gonna stay at home and keep re-creating myself. Maybe if I venture out you'll see me but, you won't just the same.
Tune in and don't drop out,
