Indie State Revisited...Paul Simon sings...Nostalgia and the Writing gods..

I just bought Paul Simon's cd The Paul Simon Collection. It must have been some time after my thirtieth birthday when I started becoming a bit nostalgic, and longed for music that seemed to have meaning. So much of my twenties were spent listening to Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Stone Temple Pilots, etc. And that's some good music, mind you, but there was a deep sense of wanting something more, something with substance, something where you can connect to the songwriter in some way. "Hell, yeah, that song fucking speaks to me!" type of songs. So Paul Simon came quickly to mind, and I only recently found kharmic connection with Warren Zevon. I have his Genius cd, a collection of his best. Where the hell am I going with this? Well, I'll tell you. It's Friday afternoon here in the RGV, the sun is out, and the writing gods are in my corner, for once in a long while. Pour that sugar on me, baby, I'm ready to let loose. Yes, sir, I've decided to end the political floundering I'd been feeling lately, and have decided to vote Dem this election season. At this early point, it's important to pick a side, pledge your allegiance, and brace yourself, for a very important, very crucial election year, especially here in Texas. For you political enthusiasts, you'll notice the Chris Bell for Governor ad on the side bar. Take some time, whether your Dem, or on the other team, to look at the issues Chris Bell is ready to tackle if, no WHEN he becomes Governor. That's right, in politics there is no room for if's, it's just a matter of WIN. So just click on the ad, and you'll be redirected to his website. There are also, as I've pointed out before, some blog links of interest. If you've got time, click on South Texas Chisme. FREE PLUG! FREE PLUG! That's right, in this blogging business, it's important to make friends, especially if you don't want to find yourself swimming alone in a very, very big ocean. Thanks are in order for adding me to their link list. Thanks, partners. Okay, time to wrap this up for today, I'll be back tomorrow with my comments on Bin Ladin, and updates on local politics, and watchdog groups. Have a good one...
