I Wish...

    I wish I could play guitar. I mean REALLY play. Not just bits and pieces of songs. I told my Mother I was picking up the guitar again and she said, "Good. Now learn to play a whole song not just PART of one".

   At first I was angered by this, but I realized she was right. I suck...at everything. Everything that is accept radio. Go figure. Radio. An industry that used to be all about entertainment and theatre of the mind. Now it's just a bunch of computers running music programs that have all but wiped the local dj. Remember him? The guy you used to listen to while you did your hmoework or chores around the house. Yup, he's all but dead and you have Clear Channel, Entercom, and all the BIG radio companies to thank. Cut cost, increase revenues and hell, let's put a few thousand people out of jobs while we're at it.

    I have dreams of owning my own radio station someday but I know it will never happen because good fortune is not my lot in life...never is, never was. A disabled slug. That's my lot. So long dreams. Hello guitar...even though I suck at you.

    Thanks for reading...
