Storms of Life

1982 (2021 Remaster)

There are fifty
three million 
Three hundred 
and ten thousand
Two hundred and one
Struggling songwriters 
out there
Touring Indie
Growing skinny
Trying to make it 
to number one….

But hey I 
Just made
 up that number 
right out of my 
weary head
There are 
probably more 
than that 
figure I said,
Which is why 
I ought to be 
out selling 
dope instead.

But I’m 
Just frustrated 
cause my
songs all sit
In the shitter 
on Twitter 
leaving me 
as the twit
The only face 
on my  
face book 
who is 
listening to me 
Is an old 
ex-girlfriend 
whose missing me,

I’m just screaming 
in the midst 
of millions
Can you hear 
me now?????
My mike’s a 
plastic heer cup
I ought to give it all up 
And do some 
painting for a while.
All my stats are anorexic
I miss the old days 
when we used to be
Doing studio auditions
And touring endlessly.

All the concert 
venues are dying
The Bands  can’t 
get the crowds….
And CD’s  have 
all become passé
most Folks just 
download now.
The attention span 
of a modern listener
Is twenty seconds or so….


I’m just screaming 
in the midst 
of Billions
Can you hear 
me now????
My mike’s a 
plastic beer cup
I ought to give 
it all up 
And do some 
painting for a while.
All my stats are anorexic
I miss the old days 
when we used to be
Doing studio auditions 
then recording
And touring endlessly.

Please forgive 
me for ranting,
I have known 
some success
It’s been a 
helluva ride,
But the song 
about Buddy Holly
Is not the day 
that the music died,
Cause it’s 
happening now
And pretty soon 
you’ll know how
It feels when 
rigor mortis sets in
When the bands 
all stop touring 
when it’s no
longer alluring
tothe lack of 
money they take in.


As songwriters 
all retire
When  their Dreams 
can’t be reality., 
no more 
musicality

Just Screaming 
in the masses of Billions
Can you hear 
me Now????????????????
