Hey Joey... could you do us a favor down here?
We've got us some pretty desperate times.
We need somebody to hit the RESET button or something. Strip off all this bullshit and give us a fresh start.
Remind us that rock and roll is for life, not for livelihood. That music is here to help us find within ourselves the strength to solve our problems - it's not supposed to solve them for us by magically landing us on American Idol or Cribs.
Remind us that when we do things for the right reasons, the accomplishment is the reward.
Remind us that we can be inspired by something without having to imitate it.
That we don't have to be good-looking to look cool.
That we don't have to look cool to be cool.
Remind us to be loyal.
Remind us to stay honest.
Remind us that there is nothing to fear, except whatever's in the basement.
Oh shit, wait... you already did all that. I'm gonna go listen.
Jed Davis.
