Steven used to live in San Francisco and play bass in a reggae band. He now lives in Washington, DC and plays acoustic gigs while struggling to save the United States from impending financial collapse.
this will be great! I'll be on the huge stage where the entire crowd will be.. Maybe if i have time after my performance and i'm not to tired i can breifly chat with you and sign your shirt or something..
Hehehe....I first met Steve in 1986 in that same car wash....he was confused....and was washing his guitar instead of his car. He doesn't hear well and thought "CAR" and "GUITAR" were the same thing.
starin is just a killer song. really goes unexpected places lyrically. maybe the best lyrics you've ever written. little backhanded statements that don't seem as deep as they are until a few seconds go by and you allow yourself to realize how true how honstly true how true each word rings out. so very brightly. bob marley and neil young, the kings of being able to do this, look on this song with great warmth.
RED I heard you. Rehabilitated. Let's see now. You know, come to think of it, I have no idea what that means.
MAN #2 Well, it means you're ready to rejoin society as a--
RED I know what you think it means. Me, I think it's a made-up word, a poli- tician's word. A word so young fellas like you can wear a suit and tie and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did?

MAN g2 Well...are you?
RED Not a day goes by I don't feel regret, and not because I'm in here or because you think I should. I look back on myself the way I was...stupid kid who did that terrible crime...wish I could talk sense to him. Tell him how things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, this old man is all that's left, and I have to live with that. (beat) "Rehabilitated?" That's a bullsh*t word, so you just go on ahead and stamp that form there, sonny, and stop wasting my damn time. Truth is, I don't give a sh*t.
Tico is getting predictable. As soon as I finished that blog I knew I was gonna get a comment referencing that certain drunken night. But just so you know, I don't 'drive around with TI'. I am now a hardened music business professional.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm working on the new album that's coming out this spring 2008. Remember that starting in February, we're always at NuBlu (in Manhattan) Fridays at 10 p.m.
wow, I definitely didn't deserve that!! such a nice comment from you after I was a smartass about your nixon blog. but seriously, I did read it, steven. you know who loves tico. xo, d.
Thanks for inviting me up tonight. It was fun (as always). I just finished previewing the videos. They are great Thanks again to Segal and you for filming.
Hey, cool. You got the video to work. I wish the quality was better but thats the best my MotoRazr v3xx can do! looks good though, sounds good. Maybe sometime I will have my video equipment with me and I can record you two playing again.
