Let me tell you about Texas Radio & ...

The ONLY Tribute to the DOORS! in Central Texas.

As fast as light across the sky
As fast as summer left behind
The music takes & shakes the ground
In this erotic night of colored sound ...

Icarus falls like the moon from the sky
& it's so quiet you can hear a raindrop cry
a blanket of stars on our midnight ride
like Paul Revere but we got no place to hide

We were warned not to get too close to the sun
But we were lost even before we begun
& I never really did listen to no one
that did not speak with a fork for a tongue.

Music By Ray Manzarek from his album Love Her Madly
Lyrical interpretation and overlay by Deadhead Dylan

Too Close To The Sun

No one is really sure how and when Dylan Morrison became myth and enigma; nobody is even really sure who he is or where he came from. One day he just showed up, and he seemed like an old friend like he had been around since time immemorial; like he had been a Doors Fan ever since the world began.

2009: IT'S TIME; LETS BLOW SOME MINDS!

Well, let's see: in 2008 it was an hour for magic and yet to hear the news pundits tell it, 2008 was among the worst years ever. Of course, they are looking at the stock market, the housing bust, and all the other bad news that dominated the headlines the past 12 months. However, I think that if you look at the election of Barack Obama, with this one single event I was right on target with my hour for magic.

It's always darkest before the dawn, right? More correctly there will always be challenges before us, and like I said the world will always be teetering on the edge. I have no illusions about the presidency of Barack Obama. I do think he will be a good and decisive leader, but he's human too. His election more importantly, signals a future where more and more, who we are inside is more important than what is on the outside. It's the harbinger of changes to come.

As we move forward, let's always keep in mind those who are going to sleep tonight without enough food, without parents who are lost to war, without a house over their head, facing illness, foreclosure, hunger, drought, famine, pestilence.

But even as we count our own blessings, have compassion for yourself. It's OK to want things. To the man feeling guilty because he was sad he had no shoes until he met a man who had no feet, I would say to him that the man with no feet is within his right mind to feel sorry for himself despite the man next to him with no legs.

Suffering is suffering. Some of us suffer a little. Some of us suffer more. It's part of life and natural to seek to eliminate suffering. Any species that didn't react this way to suffering would be deselected in the evolutionary process.

Still, it's important to rise above our circumstances, even if in comparison to others our lot isn't so bad. Let's count our blessings, count the stars in the sky and choose the signs of our days. This is the year I enter the town of my birth. Lets be ready.
