We have tiny experience

With how most people on our planet survive

We take so much for granted ..

...As our god-given-right

.....Here in our by-chance & by-luck tiny piece of the world

This is what we call the feelings & actions of 'Entitlement'

If there is Sin .. This kind of "Entitlement" is a major qualifier

We are all gonna be guilty often

Carry-on Mose .et al.. Dad

OurOligarchs/OurPlutocrats

Will apparently murder & maim us

Without traceable blood-splatters

Gravity:

One of the essentials

One of my favorites

The Arts

Listening to men singing 100s of arias

My experience. they are way too grounded

Pavarotti can float and fly and land

Experience any art work with gravity 'in-mind'

Human Nature

Grave .

Tomorrow is 9-11 ..G

Still no real Why-news

In our U.S. mainstream media

So much that. goes-without-saying

Must be repeated relentlessly:

I am lucky and entitled.l.like it or not

Those who are not..always know

Themselves and me .

Like it or not

So much good stuff out there:

Help Rebuild The Dream

The American Dream is under siege

But a new movement is rising to fight back

Stand up to say “No” to right-wing attacks

On the middle class

And every class

Even on themselves ...

As they will find

Hopefully asap

Most of we U.S.A.ers are busy cutting off our own body-parts

Real-News ignored mOur media controlled

Corporate congressional-buy-offs

Brainwashed & rinsed we are .BB

By the tippy-toppers & their dupesters

I grew up with 'Villainous Russian & Chinese Press !'

Ohh..to wake up soul-less.in our own land

The Arts:

Find 'em as fast as you can

He created "Bill Dane on the internet."

Side-by-side + lightbulb-by-lightbulb with me.

Hello. I'm Nick Powers. I taught myself how to play piano when I was 8 and have been writing songs ever since. I cannot read music, but I figured out the complete instrumentation to theDuckTales theme song when I was 13 and tracked it on my Yamaha PSS-790 (BEST. KEYBOARD. EVER.)

I grew up listening to Ray Charles, Beethoven, and Jimmy Cliff. I also absolutely loved the music in West Side Story and Mary Poppins. I never really listened to that much music in my teens, but, through friends, there were a handful of acts who blew my mind: Jets To Brazil, E-40, Superdrag and The Get Up Kids, in particular. I suppose if you crushed all of the above in a trash compactor you'd hear my band. Or maybe I can't tell what my own band sounds like.

I grew up a Dungeons & Dragons nerd on welfare with a single mom in Crockett, CA. My dad was in prison when I was young. My mom was a cleaning lady and worked at one family's house for a whole summer to buy me a real piano. I live in Richmond, CA with my wife and almost-three-year-old daughter.

All I think I'm trying to do with my music is tell a story. I grew up in an out-of-the-way, dying factory town. More people than you realize did the same thing. We all do shitty drugs. We all wear the wrong clothes. We all listen to the wrong music. We all feel a little funny at fancy restaurants. And then, in a fucked up twist, we all feel like we have to act disinterested to protect ourselves from ridicule. In my mind, this is the soundtrack to that shit.
