James Taylor is singing "Fire and Rain." It is a welcome change from David Bowie singing "Space Oddity" on WDAVE radio. It also helps cover up Billy Mays yelling...although he still gets through.
"Hotel California" is up next. One of my favorite tunes from a beggone era of drugs and psychosis, and the revolving door at the state hospital. It brings back the memory of a stupid, careless youth. Thank God that era is over.
"Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne is the next selection. When I run on empty there's no joy in life. It isn't something I desire. It reminds me that I must fill my life with the knowledge of all that I can. It also gives me hope that I won't have to run alone or behind.
"Don't Stop Believin" by Journey. Tells me that " some my win and some may lose." I cannot help everyone. This I know. But I can help a few by extending my hand. I'm not a saint, I'm just a man that sees the sufferings and wants to do what I can to help.
"Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac is telling me that " thunder only happens when its rainin." This song reminds me of my brother Perry the beater. He likes Fleetwood Mac. It's a good song and the memory of the beater doesn't bother me.
One more. "Help is on the way."- The Little River Band. This song gives me hope that help is possible. It teaches me to be patient. It tells me to "look around and slow down."
Music always has been a big part of my life and who I am. It is my escape from the harsh realities of life. I still face life head on, but when it gets too much, I know that music will pull up away and soothe the savage beast.
Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,
Dave
