COUNTRY MUSIC
SO PEOPLE THINK IT'S TOO SIMPLE. SOME PEOPLE EVEN THINK IT'S STUPID BUT LET'S PRESENT AN ARGUMENT.
FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE WAY COUNTRY MUSIC SPEAKS OF PRIDE. FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE WAY COUNTRY MUSIC SPEAKS OF FOOLISHNESS. FEW PEOPLE UNSERSTAND WHAT COUNTRY MUSIC HAS TO SAY ABOUT LOVE. I KNOW OF FEW SIMPLE SONGS WHICH SPEAK OF HUMANITY WITH SUCH GRACE AND CANDOR.
YOU SEE, OFTEN COUNTRY MUSIC IS SANG FROM THE PROSPECTIVE OF THE PROTAGONIST (IF YOU WANT TO THINK OF IT AS A STORY.) IT DOESN'T MAKE THE SINGER LESS INTELLIGENT. IT MAKES THE SONG MORE BELIEVABLE.
IN GARTH BROOK'S "LONG NECK BOTTLE," IT'S THE BOTTLE THAT WON'T LET GO OF HIS HAND. IN GEORGE STRAIT'S "FOOL HEARTED MEMORY," IT'S THE JUKEBOX THAT KEEPS PLAYING THAT SONG.
REAL PRIDE MAKES REAL MEN UTERLY DISMISS THEIR FEELINGS. IT SAYS 'I AM ALREADY OVER HER,' AND 'MAYBE I NEVER LOVED HER.' THE MESSAGE IS MUCH DEEPER. COUNTRY MUSIC WARNS OF SHALLOW LOVE. IN COUNTRY MUSIC IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO LOVE THE BEST YOU CAN, NO MATTER THE OUTCOME. BUT THIS IS NOT AN EXAMPLE OF FOOLISHNESS, RATHER, IT'S A MESSAGE TO A WORLD THAT NOW KNOWS LITTLE OF CLASSIC VALUES: SURENDER, MAINLY.
THAT BEING SAID, THIS BLOG SHOULD BE ABOUT MICHAEL SCOTT'S MUSIC. SO GET AHOLD OF MY LATEST RECORD AND DISCOVER COUNTRY MUSIC AT ITS ESSENSCE.

THE FISHING METAPHOR
I WAS THINKING ABOUT DREAMING AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT FISHING. I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW I OFTEN DON'T APPRECIATE LIFE.
JUST BEFORE I FELL ASLEEP TODAY I THOUGHT ABOUT DREAMS ON THE LINE. I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW I SOMETIMES WANT TO TRADE THEM FOR NEW DREAMS, BEFORE I EVEN GET THEM IN MY BOAT
OFTEN TIMES FISH SWIM WITH THE CURRENT AND YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW BIG THEY REALLY ARE. SOMETIMES A SMALL FISH FIGHTS LIKE HELL AND SWIMS AGAINST THE SURRENT. YOU NEVER KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE.
THIS METAPHOR APPLIES TO DREAMS AND GOALS OR FISH IN THE SEA, OR WHATEVER YOU WISH. BUT THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS THAT YOU CAN'T BECOME ATTACHED ANEW WITH THE OLD ON THE LINE. AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT YOUR CATCH BEFORE YOU THROW IT BACK.

New Video
Hey Everyone!
I done went and made a stop-motion animation video for the song "Choke." For those of you who don't remember, "Choke" was released on "Dark Reds and Purples," which came out in the summer of 2010. It has been available exclusively on this record.
I am in the process of getting a Youtube channel started. There will be a lot of exciting videos in the Future. I plan to make a few videos to represent each of the Grief Series records and some additional Grief Series promotional videos at a later date.
