You guys are asking me to do things, well I guess I volunteered. lol
This is long and a lot more than I have publicly posted or even spoke of anywhere. First an Appropriate tittle.
Science VS Reality
As far back as I remember, I looked into the sky and wondered about the unknown, what’s out there ?
I just assume we all want to know.
In Middle School, I was a bit of a nerd. I had a passion for science, a bit odd I suppose.
By the time I actually started roaming the High School Campus as a Freshman some things became instantly apparent.
This was a turning point in my life and as my favorite lyricist explained in Subdivisions
“ be cool or be cast out”
We are a product of our environment and rural suburbia (country) in 1974 was not all as one would expect.
Life moves on, I started a family at a young age with those responsibilities the things I loved growing up had to take a back seat.
Motorcycle racing, later we did do ATV’s and I raced them also ( great fun) The rock and subsequent guitar enthusiasm never went very far from my grasp.
I had to tell you all of that so could tell you this.
As all of those things tend to fade away as l aged, I got more involved in reality.
A world driven by $
I never forgot about my interest for Science and I don’t view my songs as science fiction even though that’s where they fit.
I try to use some reality sprinkled on top.
Man’s (And Ladies) mission to explore the unknown parts of the solar system is now in reach of the furthest planet in the solar system. I have to say as a side note , once Orpheus was announced I started a tune. After that I started hearing about the Comet and that sucked me in like , well a vacuum in space.
