Fatigue. Stress. Hypoxia. Lonliness. Cosmic radiation. Dry air. Too much coffee. Not enough coffee.
Is this the place where I'm supposed to say which artists I like or have influenced me? OK. I like, [in order by date as I was growing up:]
Anything psychadelic from the 60 or 70's. Three Dog Night. The Who. Journey. Old Van Halen. Old U2. Simple Minds. Smiths. REM. Hoo Doo Gurus. They Might Be Giants. Aimee Mann. Liz Phair. Lush. Luna. Eels. Dandy Warhols. ....And Richard Cheese
How's that for running a full spectrum of musical styles!
Music to make you laugh..... with me, or at me. I don't care.
[Yeah, I know.... only 6 songs? Well I have about 67 in total. Will post them to this website soon. I promise. Just as soon as I catch up on 13 years of sleep defecit.]
Songs about sexy flight attendants. Songs about airline employee woes, bad management, and people with big fat butts. Song's about drinking ugly women pretty. Also, songs about dogs pooping on your neighbor's lawn.
Songs performed all over the world. Mainly in hotel crew rooms, airplane galleys prior to boarding, or local bars. Even a song recorded in the bathroom of the Comfort Inn for it's good acoustics.
Written by yet another disgruntled airline employee:
[Why yes, please....take half my salary including my pension. I don't mind at all, really. And no, this never crosses my mind while I'm flying you in the back of my plane. Yup, you and the 250 other passengers whose lives are literally in my hands 36000 feet over the icy cold Atlantic ocean 1000 miles from shore, have nothing to worry about. As long as you get to fly to Paris for $199, then I'm happy making you happy. It's charity to me....I'm doing the Lords work....amen brother.]
Don't worry, I am not going to go postal. All pilots at major airlines have undergone psych screening. Seriously. I even passed the FBI psych test to become a gun toting Federal Flight Deck Officer. But guns are a pain in the ass as well as an accident looking for a place to happen. And since I do not have penis inferiority issues, I don't feel a pressing need to have one. Besides, airplanes are dangerous enough. Plus if was packing heat on duty, I would not have room to bring my guitar along.
So I've written these songs to blow off steam.
Now I am no longer disgruntled. I am back to being merely "gruntled."
I dedicate these to all fellow abused airline employees...........or anyone else who has been shafted by the man.
What a bummmer about Zuri! But have fun at all your other work stops ;)
I spent today at the beach-- 85 degrees, crystal clear sky & water, no humidity-- perfection. This city is finally living up to its potential! Oh, yeah and there's this little thing called the Euro Cup goin' on!!
I love it! I'm going to put BASE CLOSING TIME on my page...wish I could add it to my blog TOO FUNNY! And yes, I'll add a link on my blog to your page....Maybe I'll put it under PILOTS I ACTUALLY LIKE. LOL. Or something like that.
