“You can’t base your life on other people’s expectations.”-Stevie Wonder
I wholeheartedly concur, Stevie. Trying to live up to someone else’s expectations is a recipe for disaster, as well as a huge waste of time. Life is way too short to worry about what anyone else thinks.
Happy Birthday, Stevie!
“You’ve got to create a dream. You’ve got to uphold the dream…”-Eric Burdon
It’s all about the dream. Without it, life is barely worth living…at least that’s what I think.
“My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.”-Bono
I’ve made more mistakes than I can count. My only hope is that I can learn from them and move forward.
Happy Birthday, Bono!
“I’m just trying to keep things simple, and just be a little more offhand and not get so deep into things. Enjoy what you got right now, because who knows what’s going to happen tomorrow.”~Bob Seger
Simplicity and living in the precious present are key components of my Rock and Roll Philosophy.
Happy Birthday, Bob!
“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results”~Willie Nelson
How bout that simple brilliance from today’s birthday boy?
Love you, Willie!
“We’re not like everybody else”~Ray Davies.
“If you’re just living the same life that everybody else is living what’s the point?”~Todd Rundgren.
This is why I live across the street from normal. Actually, I don’t even live on the same planet as normal…and I prefer it that way.
“I have to get inspired by something that touches my soul, or rocks my soul.”-Steven Tyler
We all know what rocks our souls. As I see it, the great challenge in life is to keep our attention on whatever it is that rocks our souls.
When we do, we are naturally inspired. And that is a truly groovy way to go through life.
“Plant your love and let it grow”~Eric Clapton
Happy birthday, EC.
“One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product.”~Peter Gabriel
Since it’s the phenomenal Peter Gabriel’s birthday, here he is rockin’ “Big Time” live.
This song has one of the best lyrics EVER, and it fits my Rock & Roll Philosophy perfectly. “And the heaven will be a big heaven, and I will walk through the front door.”
Enjoy the video and have fun!
