Here's Episode 10, a song about a guy I met at the pub on Friday, a Newzealander with a really positive attitude, he gave me a sense of hope about humanity to some degree, he was a random guy I randomly met for a very short time and yet he left me with a significant piece of himself, a little bright sparky piece that gave me some joy. I've seen Henry Rollins in an interview advising kids, the interviewer says "Henry, what peice of advise would you give to young folks today?", (or something like that), and Henry gives a wordy spiel about how people are generally good and you should probably get out there and meet some of them. I think he may be right.



Episode 9-Steeped In Sin

This weeks song brings us/me back to the book of John , I'm fairly sure I've read a couple versions of the story I'm referencing but I love the version in John because it's nice and simple, a guy is given his sight by Jesus, hasn't even seen Jesus yet but knows that he's someone great and upon actually seeing him gives him his heart straight up, before hand dealing out a little home truths to the religious leaders who drag him in a couple of times to get some dirt on Jesus which doesn't actually exist. The man born blind gets it, "I was blind, I can see now, that's awesome, what the hell is your problem fellas?" and the religious folks are just moronic nay-saying evidence denying sad sacks who want no power to be taken from them. It's a great little tale, echoing currently in probably a million different places the world over, the truth is more powerful than the lies you're fed to be kept under the thumb, the truth will set you free, the people wielding the giant thumb are very aware of this. Jesus was awesome, and so was the blind guy, they were on the money for sure.

Here's episdoe 8 folks. A not particularly Jesus related song, more about humanity I think, and some elements of it that I came across in a Karaoke bar, elements that were not neccessarily un-Jesus like in some ways, but very much human. I met some great folks, and some folks who probably wanted to hurt me, and some indifferent folks. It was a pretty interesting night, kind of insane for a peron who's spent alot of time tortiose shelled and silent and now suddenly finds themselves uninihibitedly talking to pretty much anyone. The Caterpillar mentioned in the song is the one from Alice in Wonderland, whish a guy showed me that he had a tatoo of, quite the nice tatoo as well. Anyhow, thanks for listening and you'll be hearing another song next week.

Here's episode 7 folks. A little tune about Jesus sweating blood and begging for another way. It's also about pointless arguments with folks who think faith is ridiculous, and the feeling that goes into these, played on the Banjo. Thanks for your listening time, happy easter also, and anyone who's a Western Australian living near Fremantle, I have a gig at the Swan Hotel on April 6th at 8pm, come have a listen, I'm followed by Agamous Betty, a friend of mine and a couple other folks who I haven't met yet, but they're more than likely very nice if they know my buddy.
