So, this is the new blog of your old pal, Neil. This is the place I'll be turning to to share news and thoughts on important things, and I hope you turn to this blog to get the said news and thoughts.
The focus here will be centered on Neil, the Rocker, which is - all in all - pretty overarching; hence, the contents shall include:
- gig news
- gig recaps
- other news
- other recaps
- questions & conversations with you, the intelligent & appreciative audience
- any other tidbits about me & my life that I decide to leave open for public scrutiny
- "detailed things"
- cool, creative things
- **Rock Philosophy**
*Rock Philosophy shall include meditations on the nature of Rock, investigations of the evolution of Rock & commerce, and treatises on art & music in our time.
Yes, the thoughts about Rock that have long kept me up at night and that I have only shared in the past with my closest Rock confidantes shall now - from time to time - be shared with you, the web community.
But, aside from all this heavy shit, this blog will just be a cool place for expression and for ideas that one may not get from just my music.
I do hope you enjoy it.
Your pal,
Neil
I don't know much about rock philosophy (I mean do the Godz really speak esperanto or what?)...but the philosophy of The Song, now that is something I can dig.
ReplyDeleteDig it!! phil o song would assuredly fit under the umbrella of rock philosophy; and I'm certain you would be an authority on that. You know, I searched out that Lester Bangs article online but it did not readily reveal itself. If you wouldn't mind pointing me in it's direction, I would be obliged. Thanks, Wes!!
ReplyDeleteIt's in a book of his writing, Psychotic Reactions and Carbuerator Dung. Parts of it are also in the liner notes from the first Godz album. I have Psychotic Reactions. I can toss it in my trunk and the next time we meet I will pass it your way.
ReplyDeleteI am no authority!! I just like songs man. I wasn't born in a vacuum so most all of my paltry ideas are recycled anyway.
Let's hang soon.
I am really looking forward to the Rock Philosophy, personally.
