My buddy sent me a message at 9:15am on November 26th, 2023. He told me to “write the great Musk album of our time.” Ok.  

I read that weird Walter Issacson book about him and listened to all the interviews for a week or two. The points of him that people have strong opinions about were almost immediately boring. Underneath was how hard it is for him to relate to and communicate with other people. You can have all the money in the world, but you can’t buy that, and it might be more unattainable with the more wealth and notoriety you obtain. That’s probably more human and universal than trying to go to Mars. 

His presence has always felt super visceral to the Bay Area. Even if he’s on the other side of the world warning the IMF about artificial intelligence and dog currency, the Tesla plant off the 880 in Fremont is a purposely monolithic reminder of his grand intentions. Its always been funny to me that the same governing body (Alameda County) that gives me reminders about parking tickets I didn’t pay, and taxes cans of Mountain Dew at the liquor store 100 feet from me, was preventing him from building a rocket to go to Mars during the pandemic. 

So whatever. I tried to write a bunch of stuff about him, but ended up writing about the same loneliness and lack of connection that everyone has experienced at some point in their lives. It’s the same loneliness that humanity might be leaning into as we go toward whatever the future is. I will release the songs that didn’t get used for this record on some Bandcamp Friday. They are mostly rewrites of “Little Deuce Coup” but with lyrics about electric cars and Eugenics. 

The cover art was drawn by Michael Rudolph. It’s a still from a video I saw of a lady hitting 10-G’s in an airplane. The topic of “freedom of speech” kept coming up in everything I read and listened to. The idea itself is intangible, but people talk about it like it has a clear structure and regulations. Like a mathematical theorem. Or a public pool. 

It reminded me of someone experiencing the punishing levels of gravity in a centrifuge. I kept thinking of some guy thumbing away on a cell phone behind protective glass, as a bookish engineer screams “Sir! He’s about to call The Pope a b*tch on Twitter!” Cut to some high ranking military official that looks like Sterling Hayden in “Dr. Strangelove” losing grip of the cigar in his mouth and muttering “oh my god…” 

That is the first time I’ve seen all of that written out, and I regret everything. I regret this entire record. 

Thanks for listening.

I'm Honest (Most of the Time)

from the album "A City That Doesn't exist" also out on spotify

I had too many wishes that I threw away
way too many chances I was scared to take

waiting for tomorrow is to long to wait
but way too little time for what I have to say

had to come to this for me to reach today
an ocean stretching far for me to drown away

I had too many chances just to figure out

I'm waiting for my truth-

I'm waiting on my truth
on my truth

waiting for you
so long

it's true
for you
it's true

waiting for you
so long

it's true
for you
it's true

and I don't understand
what to say
how the pieces of myself start to break 

a light that's standing tall
made for me 
as I sink in an ocean

but it's too far
I have too many feelings I don't recognize
my failures and horizon stretch before my eyes
a thousand people staring right into my mind
the person who I am decides to stay behind

and it's too far
I look into myself and I can recognize
my failures and horizons start to look the part
too caught up with myself for me to see the light
the person who I am is leaving me behind

When looking in to the distance I can see the light
reflecting who I am when I was left behind
looking at myself don't know what I became
the way my feeling is still the same now
trying not to break out
if there's a way out

Elephant Stone are back with their first new release in 3 years, “Land Of Dead”. Clocking in at just under 2 minutes, “Land Of Dead” begins with the haunting strums of a sitar and then dives headfirst into “Paranoid”-era Black Sabbath riffage with Rishi intoning of a “land of fire”. Ending with a child’s lament of “goodbye blue skies, so long clean air...Do you even care?”, Land Of Dead is a dystopian telling of a world undone by our own doing. PLAY LOUD.

Land Of Dead

With dynamic vocals, blistering guitar & sax solos as well as thought provoking, often tongue-in-cheek lyrics, Jonny is creating music that captures the essence of the classic, vintage sounds he grew up on. Think Stones swagger, a splash of the Clash with a healthy dose of driving Americana for good measure. 

After making waves with his emotive acoustic roots, Jonny has cranked up the volume with a bigger, bolder and truly unique Transatlantic sound with his upcoming record: a full-throttle blend of nostalgic rock, blues and country. 

Winner of the 2024 UK AMA ‘Bob Harris - Emerging Artist of the Year’ award, Jonny has captivated audiences with his songs and charismatic storytelling at iconic venues across the UK and the US, including Glastonbury Festival, Union Chapel, the Bluebird Cafe. In recent times, he has shared the stage with artists such as Jason Isbell, Albert Lee and Ariel Posen.

Jonny’s discography is tied together by his honest, vulnerable and raw lyrics that pack a punch. His previous releases have been featured on platforms such as Spotify’s Notable and Blues Roots, Joe Bonamassa’s “Cutting Edge Blues”,  Mahogany Sessions, Absolute Country and BBC Introducing. With a growing presence on the national and international stage, Jonny Morgan is part of a new wave of artists bringing back music that moves—authentic, heartfelt, and built to last.
