I have no reason not to believe it. Depending on where you are I supose one could think there is a place you could go if where you are isn’t safe, or if you needed to run, you could escape. “The West” can be visualized as rolling short grass prarie with mountains in the back ground. It can feel like you are the only person in the world out there.I like t...

They are the verbal punctuation reality needs to be properly understood sometimes. They ask a reader or a listener to look at what they are seeing from a different angle. A broader understandong can stem from a metaphore. A secret you might need only some people to understand can live in a metaphore. It disengages the language from specificity without losing the meaning of what it’s trying to say, if it works. One...

Most of the examples that come readily to mind of people getting what they always wanted fall into a regretable midlife crisis variety or a make a wish foundation variety. Rarely do we get regaled with tales of the ordinary I-saved-up-for-a-bike or I-have-paid-my-debt-completely variety. I talk like I know you. I’m talking about myself I guess.I take the stuff I see sometimes and I dress it up with melody and lies to...

But you can't do it exactly the same; if it's not flattery, it’s copying. That difference, that flare that makes the group member an individual- that's art. Everyone does art. All the things you try are art.When you look back at old pictures or videos from years ago often there's some appalling, tried nature to the thing or an aspect that's over now that was pertinent for wh...

There's a whole different kind of snow at elevation, but in the planes, in places where there's hills the snow drifts out past the edges of things. Shapes change. The landscape may no longer be represented by the shape of the ground when it's all blown snow. It's beautiful, but it ain't true. It might be inches deep. It might be four five feet and you won't know til you're in it.Love might be like that in these modern swinging times. Who loves who you love? Is it the whole of...

Music? 21Sometimes you start to make something and you don't see what it is until it's out, as it were.I believe that often a song isn't something you make so much as it's something that reveals itself to you as whole cloth if not in meaning alone.I'm not retirement age but the first line sang itself out, “I’ve given up days down at the place.” And then, sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy, seemed an apt enough follow up. I stole that from John Denver. Then there was a character, a sensible one. O...

What? Music? WeeklyWhat? Music? 18I wrote this song last week.Sometimes I write songs because it's an elegant way to say something you can't really say. Sometimes the example a person is in your life is a gift, something that broadens your understanding of yourself as renewable, as someone who doesn't need to be what you have always been. It's hard not to be what people know you to be. It's hard to alter how you enhabit the way you are perceived. It might seem impossible not to be what you seem to someone else to be. It's even harder when...

There was a DJ there who had worked at a public radio station in Chicago the summer before he started college. I had long curly hair. I was always hung over and a little high on weed.

It’s simple and catchy, and I have had people tell me, “I know what you meant there.” But it’s been forever and I truly meant to ask, what I meant because I am not certain.I suppose it starts with my unwillingness to be observed.

It can be like a prayer or a wish. A song can be a confession, the kind of utterance you make to clear your soul. I think there’s a certain amount of magic in a song, not unlike anything you give your focus to. There's a term for when you learn a new word and then it seems suddenly to be in everything you read.

The top of it was split. One of the ladder braces under the front arch top under the strings was not just broken- it was gone. The string tension was loosely goosey and the action was low and it needed to be played sweetly. It was touchy. I loved it.

It's funny because sometimes social media is spreading inflammatory b******t, and sometimes it's the source for true, on-the-scene reporting. More often than not in my 55 years I have seen a preponderance of attempted truth coming down the conduits that connect the world to me: internet, TV news, the radio. I pick well. I check.

There was a big vocal effort to get the police defunded. People were being pulled off the street by paramilitary dudes in uniforms with no insignia into unmarked black vans. There has been some pretty radical progressive drug policy reform and unreform. There is a huge population of people who live outside. Some of them are mentally ill or on drugs or both.

It’s a thing.The Blues form came to America from West Africa in the unfortunate way that most of the cultural things that came to America from Africa came. Country music came on a long strange path from India. Carnatic music left india as little groups of string players that exchanged melodic “solos” and went from place to place to place, making it’s mark in the Romanie culture in eastern Europe and roaming into the Gypsie Jazz scene in Spain and France and across into the...

The Modern MainframeWhen Cultures Clash - Removing Friction Between Dev And OpsEliminating as many bottlenecks as possible in the Software Delivery Lifecycle is essential to competing effectively in the Digital Age. Dev teams must continuously deliver new features and services their customers demand, while Ops teams need to predict and solve problems as quickly as possible, ensuring optimal performance, availability and security. Achieving this state of equilibrium is next to impossible in siloed organizations with staid cultures—a breeding ground for friction and mistrust.
