Pickles

This has nothing to do with pickles. I just wanted to write and that was the first thing that came to the ever racing mind. I was listening to a band a while ago. Their name is five finger Death punch. I hate to sound like an old person but I like the beat. They are self hating, world hating, hate mongers who hate stuff. The line in one of their songs cracked me up and I wanted to share it with you. The name of the song is called "Never Enough". The artist is singing how his girl is really demanding and how no matter what he does…..you guessed it, it's "Never Enough". There's this part toward the end of the song that made me laugh out loud. A really deep voiced lil fella gets on the mic and says "In the end, we're all just Chalk lines on the concrete. Drawn only to be washed away. For the time that I've been given, I am what I am." Isn't that just a perfect lil ray of sunshine? What a breath of fresh air. I think after I get through posting this blog, I'll run to the executive washroom and slit something.
Who listens to this and says, "Man when they sodomized that cat in that one song, Man that (he starts choking up a little bit, a softly bites his bottom lip) really spoke to me." He then says in a scratchy elevated tone while beating his clenched fist to his Chest, "Got me right here man." Now while I am sure the song, "Kitty with a stick in it", has all the artistic craftsmanship of let's say Mozart, I find it less than inspiring. On the other side of the spectrum is someone like Jason Mraz, or Colby Cailait, Finger Eleven, or even Jack Johnson. Jason sings of being yours. Colby sings of being bubbly. Finger Eleven sings of not being paralyzed and giving it all up for one thing, Love. Jack just sings about any old positive thing.

I need to find a happy medium I guess. Maybe I could be the next artist out there who combining both the positive with the negative. I'll call my new band 5 Johnson Death Finger. Our first album will be call "Pickles". Have you ever heard pickles put in a negative connotation? Of course not.
Here's just a sampling songs we'll put on the first pre-platinum record:
1. "We made love…..but Thru a chain link fence", and
2. "I'm yours, I'm bubbly, but yet it's Never enough", and
3. "Love Cancer"
4. "The Tick that sucked my sadness away"
5. He just Hits me, Cuz he Loves me"
6. I just called…….To say…….I love ……..your Sister"

I'll market it to Bi-Polar people. This will ensure high record sales as it will always be the perfect album for them.
