LAST MONTH: The big draw, hitswise, last month was an interview done by fellow revolutionary, Lydia. It just so turns out that she interviewed the very artists we featured the previous month and in the Oct. newsletter, The Hometown Hecklers. To read the interview and find out why it drew over 1000 hits one day check:

You'll laugh, cry, wonder what the fuss is about??? LOL!
IMPORTANT!: So it turns out that I'm finally recording that album of tracks that I always fancied I'd record. It's a collection of my favorite compositions from the last 15 years -- all inspired and all still holding great meaning to me. I've rewritten, preproduced, demoed, am tracking, producing, engineering and publishing everything myself. The only job that I will outsource is the mastering. All this said, it turns out that I'm not as good as I thought I was. It turns out that creating music IS 90% ego. I'm still excited to finish and show what I've accomplished to the world but I'm just not as sure as I once was... :S
NEWS: Last month, the UN honoured Jay-Z for his philanthropic efforts. As a plus, Ban Ki-moon also gave the rap mogul his nod for baggin' tha B... Simple Plan have released the single, "Save You" in support of cancer research and a flailing career... In an EXTREMELY tragic case of "be careful what you wish for", Jennifer Hudson lost her mother, brother and nephew in October. Is fame worth the price? And.. The Beatles come to Rock Band with their own brand and own songs. Alright kiddies.. playtime's.. just about to start?..
PROPAGANDA: Man! These jokes write themselves! The Jonas Brothers are about to star in a film titled, "Walter the Farting Dog".
Careful boys. Don't overextend yourselves... After 14 years of agony filled waiting, "Chinese Democracy" is set to hit store shelves! Chinese what?.. Jermaine Jackson gave us the scoop folks! The Jackson 5 PLUS Randy PLUS Janet will re-unite!!! Big Tour! Big Music! Big Money! But wait.. Nobody thought to ask Michael - LOL!.. P.S. Michael Jackson turned down the reunion AGAIN! AND. Led Zepplin aren't going anywhere without Robert Plant either. Bagels just don't taste that good without cream cheese :D.. BOO! Happy Halloween!
Love,
TheMusicalRevolution ;)

CONGRATS OBAMA!!! Now let's clean up this mess that we've got ourselVes into shall we? I personally think that Hillary and Obama should have pooled up. After these war mongering white alpha males we could use a little cHange...
WooooOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I know I'm a little late on reading he newsletter...but it has to be said, I don't think it's fair to say that the fame had anything to do with what happened to Jennifer Hudson's family members. The main suspect is a man who had already made threats on her family. Sadly, fame or not, this probably still would have happened. It is a truly horrible experience, I'm sure and wouldn't wish it on anybody.
Just had to get that off my chest.
Anyhoo...can't wait to hear your finished product. I'm sure I'll recognize most of the music. ;)

P! Your argument is spot on and logically I guess I can't argue it... But you know me better than most and :D
I think this all depends on whether you believe in karma or not.
And they say it's a biTch...
PS. Thanks for the input. When I'm done this album, my goal is to format the site so that this is more commonplace 'cause even I'm getting sick of hearing myself talk - LOL!!!!!
Love.
