Wrestling with a 3 Letter Acronym
I recently watched (twice) the movie, “The Wrestler”. If you haven’t seen it… I recommend you rectify that sitcheeashun. It’s brilliantly done. Mickey Rourke’s performance is tremendous, as is Marisa Tomei’s (and she’s looking smoking hot), and Evan Rachel Wood is impressive, too. The script, the dialogue, the cinematography (not real sure what that means, but I know what I’m trying to say), the beginning, middle, and end… it all adds up to something really special. Really real. Human.
For a proper write up on “The Wrester” from a new friend who’s proper cool, check out what DJG has to say. To discover more of DJG’s world, visit his lovely website. But don’t say I didn’t warn you when you end up losing track of time. And likely finding time’s tracks.
By the way, DJG and I are in the beginning stages of concepting out a music video. I’m very excited to be collaborating with him, and artist/director Philip Cheaney, on this project. This will be my first really “new” creative project after nearly 3 years of working on the album. The thought alone is like the smell of an outdoor wood fire at dusk on a crisp Midwestern day.
Spirit-lifting. Invigorating. It’s like Truth in the midst of lies. It feels Good.
The ideas we currently have in mind for the video will be time consuming. And we’ve yet to settle on which album track we’ll use… Which song do YOU have in mind? For the more immediate future, I’ll be uploading live footage from this coming Saturday’s show to the video player. Should be ready around Valentine’s Day.

After all, it is my (assumed) ancestor Johann Gottfried Seume who is quoted thusly:
Musik ist der Schlüssel zum weiblichen Herzen.
(Music is the key to the female heart.)
Thanks for reading. I’ll have a poem for you next time…
