Ok….so who says you can’t reach a bit?

I’m going to write a solo-acoustic “Quadraphenia”. Well, not really. But Townshend’s opus is gonna serve as my inspiration as I sit down today and begin sketching out plans for a 10 song cycle dealing with teen angst and all the…well….angst….that being a teen brings on. Of course I’m no longer a teen, but I’m pretty sure I used to be, and at 40+ I’ve got enough left-over dread to light up a football stadium.

I’m going to do this with a whisper, not a scream, so being a rock and roll star will have to wait. And I’m going to do it alone, so joining that street gang that gets all the girls will have to wait too.

The best part about musical solitude is being alone. My ego I can deal with. It’s the expanded belfry’s of others that leaves the bitter taste.

In a bit…
