This mutant offspring of London’s Gospel, Hard Rock, Jazz and Funk scenes is on a mission to defy categorisations, blow minds and shake rumps the world over. If funk is the common language, Foolish Earthlings is the dirty word..... Formed in late 2006, the band is steadily building a fearsome reputation as one of London's most exciting live bands, through raw, frenetic performances at places like The Jazz Café, Bush Hall, Ginglik, The Water Rats, Hootananny and The Rock Garden, and a residency at that Winehouse/Doherty favourite, Soho's Jazz After Dark..... The band's audience systematically dismantles cultural walls wherever they play, with fans spontaneously break-dancing in rock pubs, head-banging at jazz clubs, and with everyone from jam band proggers to electro-house clubbers to clean-living God-fearing folk getting down to the same killer grooves, all the while representing every nation on Earth..... The band is preparing to head in the studio to lay down their hotly anticipated debut album, which they'll be co-producing with ..Rolling Stones.. and Prince alum, Barry Sage, and which is scheduled for self-release on their own label later this year..... You have been put on notice. Take heed, Foolish Earthlings..... .. ..

          that deceived no one.

    3.)  an INACCURATE or FALSE STATEMENT.

    4.)  the charge or accusation of LYING:

    THE TRUST OF THE INNOCENT IS THE LIAR'S

    MOST USEFUL TOOL!  DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING

    It Takes 10,000 HOURS to Develop Talent Foolish!
     
    How Many Hours Have You Clocked Today?

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT the 10,000 HOUR RULE ...

    It has been said that you must have 10,000 hours

    of practice in a subject to be an EXPERT.

    “In fact, by the age of twenty, the elite performers (violinists) had each totaled 10,000 hours of practice.”

    "The emerging picture from such studies is that 10,000 hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a WORLD CLASS EXPERT."

    1 HOUR PER DAY OF PRACTICE WOULD REQUIRE 27.3
    YEARS OF PRACTICE TO EQUAL10,000 HOURS.

    3 HOURS OF PRACTICE PER DAY - WITH NO DAYS
    OFF -  WOULD STILL TAKE 9.1 YEARS OF PRACTICE
    TO EQUAL 10,000 HOURS!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Children are the hands we take hold of Heaven with Foolish!
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT OUR CHILDREN ...

    "Whatever they grow up to be,

    they are still OUR CHILDREN, and the one most important

    of all the things we can give to them is UNCONDITIONAL

    LOVE.  Not a love that depends on ANYTHING AT ALL

    except that they are OUR CHILDREN.”

    ~ Rosaleen Dickson

    CHILDREN ARE THE WORLD'S MOST VALUABLE

    RESOURCE AND ITS BEST HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!

    LOVE THEM UNCONDITIONALLY!

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT ROMANCE ...

    "To be ROMANTIC is quite simply to allow yourself

    to FALL IN LOVE WITH LIFE -- ALL OF LIFE -- and

    experience it FULLY, OPENLY, PASSIONATELY,

    and PURPOSEFULLY."

     ~ Thomas Kinkade

    IS NOT THIS THE TRUE ROMANTIC FEELING ~

    NOT TO DESIRE TO ESCAPE LIFE, BUT TO PREVENT

    LIFE FROM ESCAPING YOU?

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT BALANCE IN LIFE ...

    "If the events of these past days have taught us anything,

    it is to HONOR THE MOMENT. CHERISH those around you.

    Try to FIND A BALANCE between WORK and FAMILY.

    CONTRIBUTE something to your COMMUNITY, and above all,

    SHARE the LOVE you feel for others EACH and EVERY

    DAY ...."

     ~ Dr. Jack Messina

    MINUTES IN LIFE ARE WORTH MORE THAN MONEY ~

    Be CHARITABLE Foolish!

     

    (Richard is a patient with Primary Systemic Amyloidosis)

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT CHARITY ...

    "The best thing to give to your ENEMY is FORGIVENESS;

    to an OPPONENT, TOLERANCE; to a FRIEND, your HEART;

    to your CHILD, a GOOD EXAMPLE; to a FATHER,

    DEFERENCE; to your MOTHER, conduct that will MAKE HER

    PROUD of you; to YOURSELF, RESPECT; to ALL MEN,

    CHARITY."
      
    ~ Francis Maitland Balfour

    CHARITY SEES THE NEED NOT THE CAUSE!  NO ACT OF

    KINDNESS, HOWEVER SMALL, IS EVER FORGOTTEN!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
