Should I seek a bigger career in music? Would love to but I just do it for fun…

Leave a comment

I’ve actually thought about it. Seeking a bigger career in music. Ya know… graduating to the bigger stages and bigger venues. Hopefully get signed to an indie label and that stuff. I’ll admit that stuff would be cool and I would like to get there. It would be nice to tour around the US and maybe a few other countries. I would like to do what everyone else is doing, sure but I’m just trying to stay humble as best as possible and just do it for fun. I’m not worried about fame, ya know?

I would like to get a bigger career and make  money off of it but I don’t drive and having a music career requires a lot of travelling. The music business does not provide rides for ya ’cause you’ll be pretty much on your own on that one. If you’re big and famous like in the major label industry, the industry will provide travelling for ya ’cause it’s a billion dollar industry.

I’d love to move forward and achieve bigger dreams but I just play music for fun. As a hobby of mine and something that I love to do. Don’t be desperate for a bigger career. Just leave your ego at the door and just continue to play music, that’s all you gotta do.

I still have plans in releasing an internet only album, though and will make it happen at some point.

The Muppets has apparently turned into TMZ… shame on you…

Leave a comment

It really is quite sickening that the Muppets has turned into TMZ and celebrity gossip. Jim Henson is rolling in his grave right now. This isn’t what he would have wanted for children.  A Kermit and Miss Piggy breakup? Are you freaking kidding me? Wow. This isn’t what Disney should be teaching children at all. The Muppets turning into celebrity gossip is just wrong, all the way.

Disney is doing whatever it takes to keep people interested in the Muppets. Aren’t they planning some kind of Muppets revival TV series? It’s a desperate attempt to promote that.

I know this Kermit and Miss Piggy breakup may seem funny and entertaining but it’s inappropriate for kids. Think about it.

Did Donald Trump dodge question about Obama being a Muslim???

Leave a comment

The mainstream media is on full on attack mode on Donald Trump for refusing to answer a question about Barack Obama being a Muslim. Then the media tries to make the Trump supporter look bad by trying to make it look like that the Trump supporter was wrong about Obama being a Muslim.

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/09/17/watch-trump-asked-what-he-will-do-about-muslim-obama/

For one, the Trump supporter isn’t wrong about Obama being a Muslim because he is right. There’s tons of evidence out there and before the 2008 elections,  Obama openly confessed that he is Muslim… many times but people still wanna deny that he is Muslim.

I have notice that Trump has been staying away from the birther stuff a lot but he hasn’t ignored the birth certificate at all. Trump had Sheriff Arpaio at one of his rally’s earlier this year and the Sheriff says that Obama’s birth certificate is under investigation so that means Trump is still looking into Obama’s birth certificate.

This is just the mainstream media’s desperate attempt on trying to destroy Trump. Destroy Trump ’cause the media is in bed with Jeb Bush.

The media is accusing Trump of insulting Muslims by not answering the supporter’s question. If so, GOOD. Muslims deserve to get insulted. Muslims are sick and evil people. They are okay with killing people, raping non-Muslim women, molesting children, having sex with goats, they hate eating bacon, etc. Who cares if Muslims get insulted. They aren’t peaceful as the media tries to make ’em out to be.

You wanna get more respect as a musician? Do cover songs that are ballsy & hard to do…

Leave a comment

Each time I do a cover song, they usually get positive feedback. I get feedback with people saying stuff to me like that was a ballsy song to do. Why? Is it because they think it’s hard for them to see a guy singing a love song? That’s probably a huge part of it. Each time I do a love song that is a cover song, it gets a lot of feedback from women. Why? I think it’s because they like guys that sing those type of songs and it makes me wanna do it more. First it happened with the Whitney Houston song and now that Berlin song from the Top Gun soundtrack. It’s probably because the ladies like my confidence of doing these kind of songs in which men don’t perform love songs too much.

I’ll admit it that doing love songs can get you more female fans and hopefully get more women interested in me. which is part of the reason why I’m doing it, I won’t lie about that. 😉

The thing is, I don’t want to do too many love songs ’cause I don’t want to become the next Barry Manilow, ya know? I just do the love songs that I like.

What are some other ballsy cover songs I could do? The Commodores “Easy”? Lana Del Rey “Blue Jeans”? Righteous Brothers “Unchained Melody”? Peter Gabriel, “In Your Eyes”? Lorde “Royals”? Harry Chapin, “Cats In the Cradle”?

They don’t have to be love songs. I’ll just do cover songs that I enjoy and songs that inspired me over the years.

Was Ann Coulter just marginalized by the media? I’d say yes…

Leave a comment

It’s interesting how Ann Coulter got both parties: liberal and conservative upset. If there is anybody that can drive both parties insane, it’s Ann Coulter and that’s part of why I admire this woman.

I think she was just marginalized by the media as a way to make her look bad ’cause of her hardcore conservative beliefs. She’s always been an easy target for media.

She’s proving right here that both sides are really starting to suck. Conservatives getting upset and outraged over this?

Read this article where it clears it all up:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/17/ann-coulter-defends-f-king-jews-rant.html

So yeah, you can betcha, I stand with Ann. She did nothing wrong at all. That’s the problem in this day and age. Too many “easily offended” people and I’m offended at people getting offended.

The media will do anything to destroy this woman.

More on Carly Fiorina from last night…

Leave a comment

Another thing that impressed me about Carly Fiorina was not only that she called Hillary out on Benghazi, she also called Hillary out on something else. She also called Hillary out on her accomplishment record. I loved it when she said, “If you want to stump a liberal/Democrat, ask them about Hillary’s accomplishments”. Which is true, ya know?

When you want to debate a liberal about Hillary and you ask them about her accomplishments, they usually can’t think of anything most of the time. When they do come up with something about Hillary’s accomplishments… chances are they’re gonna hit google and they will show you all kinds of delusional misinformation from some left-leaning website. Left leaning websites that try to make Hillary look good.

Like this website here for example:

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/09/16/carly-fiorina-asked-what-hillary-clintons-accomplishments-are-so-heres-a-list-for-her/

Addicting Info is a big time libtard website.

For many years in this blog, I’ve tried to prove that Hillary is not an accomplished woman at all and I’ve won them all. Even some of you guys challenged me on Hillary’s so called accomplishments, I’ll never forget it.

Hillary hasn’t accomplished anything other than allowing 4 of our own American men get murdered in Benghazi and she got away with it. That’s the only thing she accomplished. Her being first lady doesn’t count and her being an author doesn’t count either.

She has never done anything positive for the country and it’s pretty disgusting that people continue to naivety support her when they shouldn’t. I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up getting elected anyways.

The GOP doesn’t bring up “Climate Change” ’cause it doesn’t exist… get over yourselves…

Leave a comment

One thing that the libtards love to do is rail against the GOP for not bringing up “Climate Change” or not doing anything about it. Why? Well think about why… the answer is real simple, really. It’s because “Climate Change” doesn’t exist. It’s all made up by liberal politicians. If you believe that “Climate Change” is the greatest threat of this world only because Barack Obama says so then you are one messed up individual.

I don’t believe in “Climate Change”. The Earth is what it is. You can’t do anything to make it better ’cause you get what you get.

The only reason that Barack Obama is promoting “Climate Change” is ’cause it’s the only thing that makes him look good and it gives him something to do. He’s done nothing but treat America in a negative direction and Obama’s got a lot of flak for it. So he goes out of his way to do his “Climate Change” make believe crap to look like a hero before his presidency goes out.

There’s no way to make the Earth better and even politicians can’t do that. The Earth is what it is, once again.

Don’t believe that “Climate Change” is the greatest threat crap ’cause the Earth is pretty much fine other than pollution being a slight problem but that’s about all.

I don’t believe in “Climate Change” and neither should you.

I love doing cover songs, I shouldn’t stop doing them…

Leave a comment

I don’t know why musicians rail against other musicians for doing covers. Musicians who do cover songs get knocked on all the time. If you’re an all original songwriter knocking other musicians then chances are you don’t have any talent. I think cover songs are pretty important to do, whether you want to admit it or not. I always thought it was important to do both covers & original songs. I’ve always done both for many years.

I think bands and acoustic acts who do cover songs deserve more respect for sure ’cause I think it’s pretty cool to hear different versions of songs you’ve heard before.

There’s nothing wrong with doing covers. I enjoy doing them ’cause they’re fun.

I would like to upload more cover songs to my youtube channel but I don’t enjoy getting 3rd party notices, it’s annoying. I think musicians deserve to perform cover songs for the internet and should have every right to. This would be an idea for my next angry video rant.

I enjoy doing covers ’cause they help you get better musically. They’re just fun to do. You’re not gonna get better musically by playing nothing but originals only, sorry.

I would like to do a lot more cover songs.

I would like to do songs by Kiss, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Lana Del Rey, The Allman Bros. and lots more.

I like doing well-known songs that people know and love but I also like to do covers of songs that people never heard before. I just like to do the songs that I love and the ones that inspired me over the years.

I not only cover songs by rock & metal artists, as you have probably noticed… I have covered pop songs too. Like I always say, I enjoy some pop music.

Cover songs are awesome.

Video: “Take My Breath Away” cover…

2 Comments

So I decided to try covering one of my favorite tunes of all time, “Take My Breath Away”. Ya know the song by Berlin from the “Top Gun” movie.

I pretty much figured this whole song out by ear myself. Well I looked at some of the tabs of this song online and most all of them were completely wrong so I figured out every chord and riff myself. The song is a piece of cake really. I think I got the song down close enough.

This is just my own version. I didn’t want to perform it the same way Berlin did it.

This is a facebook exclusive video. Enjoy.

Ann Coulter driving both conservatives & liberals crazy over one tweet… WOW!!!

Leave a comment

There was nothing anti-semitic about her tweet at all. If you can comprehend what she’s trying to say there… she’s calling out the GOP candidates for using Israel as a way to get more votes, more donors, attract more support aka “pandering”. Which is something that politicians usually do.

Since they talk about Israel so much, you have to wonder what’s in their mind, how many jewish people there are in the United States? They think they know so much about Israel, just how much Jewish people are here if they think they’re so smart?

She was referring to the GOP candidates who mentioned Israel in their response of what their presidency would be like if they were elected.

The last question of last night’s debate was, “What is their vision of America if they were elected president of United States?”. A few of them brought up Israel instead of the US. Since Israel is a Jewish country and Israel had nothing to do with that question. It was about the United States but they had to bring Israel into it when Israel had nothing to do with the question. So since Israel was brought up, you have to wonder, how many Jews do they think there are in the United States was her point that she was trying to bring up.

Yeah, she may have used the F word but she didn’t use it in full and she censored it. She used the F word, so what? It’s not like you haven’t heard the F word before. You heard that word all the time in movies, TV shows, music and you hear people say that word 50 times a day your life so who cares? Even I say the F word a lot. BIG FUCKING DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m glad I don’t call myself a conservative anymore. See? They’re becoming just as intolerant. Ann did nothing wrong here. Move along people.
