Watch the Video for the Single, “Charity Town”
Full album available this October
CHARITY TOWN SINGLE AVAILABLE NOW
I did a lot of public speaking for community foundation in towns that have fallen upon hard times. The big paper mill or textile plant has left, leaving the community without an economic engine. Local generosity is all that’s left. You see boarded up stores and thrift shops and social service agencies where there used to be a thriving downtown. And while charity and philanthropy can be powerful drivers of change, they can only do so much when everything else is gone. This song is about the picture and the people left behind when the future has moved on.
JOHN F. KENNEDY SINGLE AVAILABLE NOW
The song is about a dream I actually had several years ago in which I came down a flight of stairs and saw John Kennedy lying on a table about to die. Carl Jung always said that the characters in your dreams are actually a part of yourself. So it’s not so much a song literally about John F. Kennedy as it is about a part of myself that had been obsessed with the need to achieve something big in order to feel self-actualized, and about the liberation that came from the death of that obsession.
