• Backstage (White Lion - There Is Life, Even After A Broken Heart)

    • Very informative. Excellent work.

    • This took me so many places. From countless hours watching MTV to meeting, speaking with & shaking hands with the reporter from South Africa who was friends with Stephen Biko…the movie Cry Freedom. I had forgotten that White Lion did a song about apartheid with a similar title to the movie. Some truly incredible talent blossomed & hit the scene in the 80s. I’m so glad you’re highlighting them, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the story my friend. It’s a great song, actually. I vaguely remember that movie, Stephen Biko? Oh yes, Peter Gabriel, had a song called: Biko. You can see the issues of the time, writers make that happen. Yes, the 80’s get a bad rap sometimes, when it was actually a really creative era. Your welcome.. Appreciate you.

    • hello dearest Damian in my pursuit for answers I have sometimes bitten off more than I could chew and got answers that were more than I could bear…this is very deep my friend only those of us who have faced this with our questions will get it great write

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you were able to connect with the write my friend. You’re right, the answers are often overwhelming to say the least. Appreciate you.

        Damian.

    • Powerful work, my friend.

    • I think that is a sign of a good poem when you can read your work and get a different thought from it. Nicely done.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. So do I, it is the sign of a good poem. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I hate sitting and thinking too much. Because then I start over thinking and that just is never good haha. Wonderful poem. It does gives you a different view with each read.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I overthink all the time, I know what you mean. Although, overtime with wisdom I’ve learned to try and use it for good. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Am I the only one who asks questions & finds the answers only inspiring more questions? Old from my archives:

      there’s a road I often travel
      between here…
      and not quite there
      when I’m looking for an answer
      some direction…
      to take me anywhere
      a million thoughts
      a thousand dreams
      all drifting on the wind
      if I try to follow even one…
      it circles back again
      to this road I often travel…

      Doesn’t stop us asking questions though, does it, my friend?

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. First off, excellent write my friend. I think it happens to all of us, it just shows a lot of us are searching for the same answers. That should bring us a feeling of hope, that we’re never truly alone. It’s the little things we all have in common, that brings me hope. Sorry for the tangent. Appreciate you.

    • hello dearest Damian I feel you on this I paint as well I just want enough to create… you are a hell of an artist 💕

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Thank you, that means a lot to me my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Art is tragically undervalued. But all artist do it because it’s a calling.

      Great ink.

    • Keep the roots. Too many get lost in the accolades & forget where they came from. And that’s how they lose the spark & become sell outs…the roots made you, carry you & they can break you if you forget. True to yourself, my friend, you’re always on point

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I try to stay humble, as a form of discipline, to the craft. Appreciate you.

    • I not only can’t fathom how they can justify their greed & cruelty to themselves, I don’t want to. To sink to their level of thinking seems incredibly slimy to me. You never disappoint in bringing the Real, my friend
