I'm growing a beard

because my son said it makes me look like Obi Wan Kenobi.

Down the hatch.

i know i always let everybody down
i know i've got a bad name in this town
'cause my last friend stopped calling months ago
i know i always make you wait around
i know the way my promises must sound
and even though you've heard it all before
darlin' could you listen just once more

i've got a reputation with everyone
but i don't want one with you
i know you know me well enough by now
and you're loving me as well as you know how
but i need one more chance to let you down
'cause no one else will give it to me now

but i don't want one with you

with you, i'm so glad to get into a bad situation
'cause nothing makes us close, nothing like a little incarceration

i've got a reputation with everyone

You can't find a decent music video on MTV or VH1 to save your life these days. But FP is hooking you up.

Ohio boy does it up right.

Why is Tim Easton not famous yet? It is perplexing to me. He's got the complete package. Stellar musician (as evidenced by his guitar work on this live recording), a perfectly raspy voice, and lyrics far more intereting and substantive than most of the stuff out there these days. I just don't get it.

Easton's music was introduced to me by my friend Nand. Easton himself was introduced to me by me. He use to drink coffee everyday at the coffee shope where I did a lot of my work back in the olden days before the church had office space. He's from Columbus and spends a few months here every once in a while. If you get a change to catch him live, you'll be glad you did.

Check the link for a live track from a show in Brussels of all places!
