Megan Thee Songwriter -- a poem
"Why it didn't work, well, it's perfectly clear..."
Megan Thee Songwriter
a poem
by marco
I'm writing a song called Megan Moroney
It goes like this.
You'all made her cowrite the songs she wrote
She got some extra hits anyhow
Plus she made you look stupider than you did her.
You can't hold down a real writer can ya?

Are All the Presidents Directly Related to Each Other?
John Stockwell who quit the CIA and wrote the book "In Search Of Enemies," about it, was lecturing on a new book he'd published called "Praetorian Guard."
I attended his URI lecture and another Conn College one because I'd been pen pals with him for several years. So of course I lingered after the talk for some small group discussions and ( Read more... ) -
My Most Recent Gig was Mediocre at Best.

OK so while we're having hot discussions about Spotify, let me say a few things this way:
If you refuse to listen to me over at Spotify (I totally understand by the way. They only pay me .003 of a penny each time you stream a song there, that's nearly criminal) you can get my songs completely free many places. I make a tiny bit of money at some of ( Read more... ) -
ZOMBIE JAMBOREE: An Ethnomusicologist's Reflection on that Frito-Lay Superbowl Thing Last Night.
We've come a long way from Paula Abdul's choreography, and Janet Jackson's for that matter; but where to? Ouch. I don't think I like where we've gone to.
All women, men and children throughout the entire 14 minutes and 20 seconds looked 100% possessed. And you know what other-peoples' world ethicities I have to compare them to? There is no ( Read more... ) -
Last weekend were some great gigs!
Wow, I've finally had some decompression time to begin reflecting on last weekend's four gigs.
Lead guitar in the orchestra pit of a performance arts magnet high school's Fall musical.
What a thrill!
We were a 6-piece band supporting the actors who presented 14 of Harry Chapin's hit songs. They acted out all the story telling arcs that Chapin's ( Read more... ) -
