Thoughts. . .

Alex Lifeson, the guitarist and half of the music writing duo of Rush, has never been properly appreciated for his guitar virtuosity and it saddens me to no end. His skills are worthy enough to have produced some of the most groundbreaking musical compositions over the last 30 years, a longevity surpassed by few and envied by many.

I haven't listened much to the new Rush album, Snakes and Arrows, but I happened across a bootleg of a live performance of an instrumental track called Hope. If this doesn't open the eyes of the general and musical public to his abilities, then nothing will.

A beautiful work Alex. Thanks.

Congratulations!!!

Well Senator Obama, you did it! And we are all proud of you and our country. A landmark day in American and world history for that matter.

I still don't agree with your politics, but I still wish you the best of luck. Welcome to the hardest job on the planet. You need my luck, as well as skill, smarts and moxie. Plus some other great words I can't think of early in the morning without a cup of coffee.

Today I am traveling, so the posting will be light if not non-existent today. Please let me know what you think about the election in the comments. I, for one, hope we've finally cleared the major hurdle of race in this country. Maybe we can finally heal, together.

I hope we can change.

Just like this guy did in Chicago. But don't blame the Messiah, oh no.
