Oh boy, I just put together some of my own music in Guitar Pro, and I hate to say it but I just gave myself the shivers.

That's what she said.

Seriously though it's good. IT'S GOOD.

Will these songs end up on Soundcloud? I want to hear them!!!

Hmmm...I might do an acoustic version of it when it's finished. That would be an injustice though, it's very explosive with the drums and whatnot!

Sounds really great, John. I'm sure both versions will be fantastic, and since I love acoustic and folk rock, I will hope to see a version like that soon. What's the song about? I need background information!

It's about trying to shake off old memories and demons that just won't let you go!

Love the concept, John! That's something everyone can relate too. We all have history and internal demons that are hard to get rid of. Thank goodness we have music to save our sanity!

I know right!

Once, when I was walking a great uphill on my way home to the place I lived in at the time in Santa Barbara, this old man, like really old, stood behind his fence and warned me about ghosts and how they're about to come out and haunt me.
That's a story I can share with the audience in a husky voice so I can be cool just like Brian Fallon, haha.

Haha, that's great! Then after the story you have to give the crowd a half smile, chuckle a little, and then launch into some awesome song about overcoming the ghosts in your life. It would be perfection!

Haha, you sure know the drill, Shannon!

I will also use all kindsa nice words like sugar, sweetie, honey etc in my songs.

Don't forget about "baby honey child". I love that part of Film Noir. I even had one of the characters in my book series say that once or twice because it stuck in my head. She's an older lady, a funny former Southern debutante, so it's a little different than how Brian used it, haha!

That's an awesome tribute to one of the greatest bands on earth!

Thanks! The books are set in the 80s so I can't reference the band at all, but I had to do something! My work in progress is set in the present day, so I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up mentioning them at some point. Music is such a huge inspiration to me, I have to incorporate it into my writing. I can't use direct lyrics because of copyright laws, but I work around it by just briefly mentioning artists and songs when it fits the scene.

Yeah of course.

Gaslight Anthem speak so highly of so many other bands, it's only fair that other artists do the same for them.

back from the chinese restaurant. i am done eating for the next 12 months I guess

Haha, what'd you have?

curry chicken, noodles, spring rolls! i cannot wait to go back to my diet.

Haha, what is your diet?

NO SWEETS, NO FRIED FOOD, NO MEAT!

No meat?

Boooooooooring!!!

I don't like meat, I only eat chicken anyways

I could not live without meat. I love it too much! Almost as much as chocolate. Almost.

I'm watching Freaks and Geeks right now. PIGMY GEEK!!!

ahaha meat makes me feel nauseous!!!
I am still watching downton abbey AND CRYING. WHAT IS MY LIFE!

TV has a way of tapping into our emotions like that. The show that makes me cry more than any other is Little House on the Prairie. But that's because it's so heartwarming.

Eh, I have one of my originals almost done, should be ready for the 20th. I just need to get a rhythm done. I actually have a couple ready...I just have kind of hit a wall with writing. I mean how does one who was inspired by Bruce's Style write without it sounding too much like something a younger Bruce would have written? Like Springsteen, I want to be known as my own musician, not the next so and so.

Nice, Jimmy! That must be so exciting to be able to write and perform your own music. I'm jealous of you guys that have that talent.
