Those Three Words can hide a multitude of meanings, three little words which can profess so much and yet are often fumbled around in case of embarrassment or in case of rejection. We ask ourselves and those we have affection for to listen to be careful on how those words are used, in many cases we only ask for a Just Sign to appear, one of truth and one that Rocks.

It is a paradox in waiting, for to go Into The Great Unknown, one must be unaware of what is likely to happen, what is possibly going to be encountered to see the unknown; perhaps the Devil in the detail or the music to be loved is invisible till you first rip of the cellophane and open up eagerly the contents within, for in that moment, for most of the time, the listener is truly in the dark, they have only hope to guide them.

Gravity is an illusion, or at least when it comes to art, for we are told in our infancy not to spread our wings too far, to be content with who we are, keep thoughts of imagination and fancy down and locked away because being six inches of the ground, of wanting to touch the moon is not for the likes of just anyone.
Defying Gravity, the mind must be allowed to soar and experiment with its environment, for gravity is nothing but significant when it is breached, the scale of the achievement, continued or one off, is never finer when the force of nature smiles through its earnest solemnity

The road trip across an entire continent, the sense of travelling with purpose and discovery, not only of a strange and often bewildering land, but of yourself as well, your inner rage, your calm and collected peaceful moments, the tears and the laughter; you don’t get the same response from your soul when all you have done is seen the road through other people’s memories or through the camera lens, it may give you a start but sometimes you do truly have to experience it for yourself.

There can be no compromise, not in a world hanging by the slenderest of threads to its sanity, to its only means of shouting out to the Universe that it has nothing to fear from those bipeds that somehow hold it hostage every day; for the only assault that humanity should administer is that of perfect noise, of the metal infused musical crowbar to the ears and one that leaves the listener understanding that the Cosmos in all its infinite glory, just wants the Earth to Rock as hard as it can without falling apart.

If it doesn’t hurt anyone, then what is the problem…for the Guilty Pleasures that take root in our hearts are there to remind us that we our human, that for some the scent of the aromatic is as highly erotic as others who just take gratification in the sound of the guitar and imagine kissing it for all its worth. Pleasure is what brings us together, guilt can either carry us down to the point of destruction or if we are fortunate can elevate us to a different kind of bliss; we will still feel the weight of responsibility of what we have done but we do it knowing we do it over and over again because it feels right.

Buffalo in New York State might be placed geographically at a disadvantage when it comes to attracting visitors with only a short time to spend between travelling the North Eastern states of the Union. Placed intriguingly at the head of the mighty Niagara River and with so much going for it in terms of the historic and the modern, it somehow arguably loses out between New York and people heading just a little further north to the wild abandonment of Niagara Falls.

Imagine a time when the world was just as divided about women in certain positions in life, the thought of a female Prime Minister a few years away, that the insanity of unequal pay for doing the same job still is an issue that has not been resolved, that up and down the land feminism was a cause that was both just and true, not about doing down men but making sure we saw the world for all in equal terms. Imagine that and realise that the world may have been slow to embrace such completely logical thinking but Rock music embraced it without hesitation.

Life really has become too serious, bogged down in the weight of expectation of those who believe that life should be tough, that this one and only chance we have on the planet should be grounded in misery and that each task, each achievement should only be applauded if blood has been sweated and seven bells of gossip can be explained away for a fee in the press, the magazines and in the fan sites; anything to add drama, to add sales.

For many, the idea of loss of any kind is too much to openly show, a hangover from the Victorian era, a residue of the lamentable act of being stoic, of not showing your true self or worth to the world. Loss is hard, not being able to grieve properly is worse, an almost despicable act forced upon society at large by a system that wanted nothing more than the idea of grieving to be shown as weak and destructible to civilisation; a hangover from an era that saw the phrase of the British stiff upper lip appallingly coined and many a generation living in the shadow of the Waiting.
