Sounds like you stayed in bad host homes that did not let you use the good sandwich meat.

i don't do powders,chemicals,pills etc.....basically i don't do anything "man made".
i have a saying"nothing good can come out of somthing bad!"....mushrooms or shrooms...grow off cow shit....if it wasn't anygood in a cow,how can it be good for me?lol...seriously....i didn't quit smoking weed,it just kind of quit me.....i really havn't smoked in 6 months!by that,i mean that i have smoked here and there,but 4-5 puffs every 2 weeks?i don't consider that smoking weed.i mean it is,but its more like somone like my brothers who have a beer or two every now and then...more importantly,its not somthing i try control or constantly keep in check....i guess i'm lucky.....hippie

i play the songs that kept me alive in that place.....they said i'd never become a musician
that i would be almost "shooting up" if i ever tried....you know the deal...as far as covers,i play songs that you'll never see a band do....not
because they suck and nobody wants to do them
either,just that they take a long time to get right and they're so legendary in the history of rock music,that a lot of bands/musicians won't do them!basically thier the kind of songs,if you cover them,it has to be done good or don't do them at all!i never liked doing anything everyone else was doing......for instance i play "a day in the life""i am the walrus""strawberryfields forever"
by the legendary beatles....i do led zepplin{been told i do stairway to heaven better than robert plant,i don't know about that,but thats what i'm told}i do pink floyd....the whole medley in the begining of "dark side of the moon"..."shine on you crazy diamonds""wish you were there"......
not only that i do nirvana tunes too,stp,soundgarden{blackhole sun is an awsome tune},the smashing pumpkins...i do neil young a lot,.....you know what the craziest thing is?
i do all of these songs accoustic!a trade off from my "harvard square days" after str8,i played as a street musician......i learned how to sing while i was in str8....everytime i asked if i could sing a song to the group,i was singing 1 of those stupid songs we had to sing,for practice!
right under those f-ers noses i was teaching myself to sing......i never wavered from my goal as a kid.....its a shame though....i didn't believe i could do it professionally for a long time after str8...so i really didn't give it a real try till i lived up here in pa....even as a street musician,i didn't play much...not like i do today.....20 yrs after str8,i was so messed up from all the b.s. that happened in there that i was/am seeing professional help.i should've been doing that yrs ago,but after what we all went through,that was the last thing i wanted to do!...they had me on meds,but i just wasn't fully functional.....while i was seeing a counselor,taking meds,i got talked into playing music again{i had quit for 3 yrs}
little by little it became my medicine!when i'm not playing,if i don't have somthing going,i get real f-ed up! i have to do it....it makes me a better person to be around.....and it keeps me from honestly going crazy.....i don't take the meds anymore....just music.....if you read these postings on this site,you'll see that i put up a concert every yrs called the "gigaroo"....everyone is welcome!its like a mini woodstock! camping is free and its only 15 per,or 25 for couples.....come to it..i promise you'll like it!...hippie
