    Reality

    The majority of people duck reality. Reality is a river with a fierce current. You can try & resist but the current won’t stop. It moves faster & stronger then you ever will. People give in. People have many...

    • Powerfully penned, Keith. Like I’ve said in the past, I always go against the grain my friend. Incredible spill. Appreciate you.

    • Sadly, more and more people don’t dare to swim against the stream anymore. They obey to social rules without questioning and don’t speak their own truth, lifeless like puppets on the string. In fact there is nothing more beautiful than being yourself, following your dreams and most important of all thanking for yourself. This isn’t only self-care it also would make this world a better place.
      Your reflections are powerful and very well written, my friend!

    • Just revisited the Olive Stone film The Doors last week. It still holds up. Great! This poem is awesome Damian. The Doors were revolutionary for the few short years they were around. Killer poem.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Yes, the late Val Kilmer, was able to capture the essence of Jim. He also sang all the concert footage in the film. They were revolutionary indeed. Appreciate you.

    Backstage (Lindsey Buckingham - ..And The Rumors Are Flying)

    Welcome Backstage. I’m Damian DeadLove. Tonights artist is somebody special to my musical journey. In my honest opinion he is often overlooked as a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Well that changes tonight. We’re talking about the one...

    • Outstanding! Didn’t know much about Buckingham’s background. Informative and a pleasure to read. Not sure if you have listened to Fleetwood Mac before the self titled album in 1975, but their earlier records are more heavy blues driven and underground. I’m not a fan of the band from the self titled album forward but their early material with Peter Green is quite good. Kind of like early Savoy Brown. Rock on dude!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. I love the band in the Lindsey era obviously. But yes I know about the legendary, Peter Green. He’s the one that wrote, “Black Magic Woman.” Even though it’d be a bigger hit for, Santana. Thanks for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. I’m glad it has a home here as well. Next month, SpotLight will get it’s day in the sun. Thanks so much for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • It’s rather wild all the drama that band was able to withstand. Lindsey is a hell of an artist in his own right. Though Stevie to me is one of the best hands down.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. I agree totally it had to be chaos. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I like Stevie a lot too, but I’m a Lindsey guy. The crazy thing is if it wasn’t for Lindsey, she wouldn’t have got the Fleetwood Mac gig. Anyhow they’re both great artists, thanks for the support. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I don’t know that much about him, other than he was in Fleetwood Mac & at one point involved with Stevie. But I can absolutely swear that Tusk is one of my all-time favorite songs…ever. I never looked into who wrote what for them or the singing rights to said songs. That was fascinating to learn. To be in the throes of a broken relationship & still creating phenomenal music…damn. I’m impressed. With him & with your sharing of his story, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. I’m a huge fan of this era of Fleetwood Mac. I’m a fan of Stevie Nicks. I’m a bigger fan of Lindsey, which might be obvious writing from his point of view and all. But the two of them together are phenomenal, when they’re getting along. Stevie, went more pop with her solo career. Lindsey, had hits, but that wasn’t what he was focused on. He wanted to make great albums, and sometimes experiment as well as shifting between acoustic & electric guitar. He played all the instruments unless he had a guest on a song. I’ve got every solo album & every live album he released. Might have to share a song or two with you off of YouTube. “Tusk” is a great song my friend. It’s is a Lindsey song by the way, he talked the rest of the band into making “Tusk” the entire album was meant to be nothing like Rumours. Lindsey, stated we already made a great pop record, we can’t do it any better than we already did it. Sorry for the novel.. Appreciate you.
