More Than A Song
Introduction I am probably going to get slated for this piece because I will probably miss lots of songs that people think that I should have included. When I first thought about writing this there were two songs on my mind that broke the mould of what should be expected from a single in the 1970s.

Multi-Hyphenate Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Drops Seductive Single “Pruane” (feat. Lulu Kirtchuk and Devereaux)
From Amir Royale I’ve tasted toxicity. I’ve lusted after romance in a way that may have been unhealthy for a couple of years. I’ve misunderstood cues during intimacy before but have also had partners not reciprocate my passion or attention to detail. “Pruane” is about being in that center space between ‘DTF buddies’ and ‘soulmates.’ That unspoken sense of attachment intertwined with the minutiae of apathy. Somewhere smack in the middle of possessive and protective, sexual and sensual, in-love and out of it. We search for the love we think we deserve – and the people that are right for us; we often overlook or undervalue them. Maybe one day I’ll finally start getting all this stuff right. ‘Til then, I’m content sitting still.Walk good, take care. 🌺❤️‍🩹🌺

On the Birthday of Johnny Cash
"God has his hand on you."--Carrie Cloveree Cash The image of Johnny Cash is as indelible as that of Elvis Presley or James Dean, Marilyn, or Judy Garland--an American Icon, an original from a country that once was known for birthing the cultural milestones that would rock the rest of the world. I'm no expert on the man's life; I know that his father laughed sardonically when someone quipped "John's going places," laughed, and replied. 'Yeah, he's going right back into those cotton fields."

The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle
"You ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" John Lydon (1978) The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle is a rather poor product put together by Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren to cash in on the waning success of his musical enterprise, the rather nauseating and overrated band The Sex Pistols, who left a grim, ugly legacy behind them in the form of musical dissolution, disaster, and even murder. Nothing is inspiring or even funny about the Pistols or their legacy, so it is curious that this movie is a kind of obnoxious, dribbling-in-your-ear uncle telling the same grotesque, dirty joke over and over again at a party. Perhaps drunk with a lampshade or a pair of bondage knickers on his head. Grotesque it is.

Mirrored Skies

The focus is more instrumental than vocal, while host to more than a few vocal tracks, they’re more of a backdrop to the central narrative. That said, what is the narrative? What is the album saying?
