But unfortunately it didn't for Thomas Hardy who, after Jude the Obscure, ended up caving under the constant criticism of his work and gave up writing novels altogether, turning to poetry for the remainder of his life.

Hardy's advice applies to the craft of songwriting as well. All too often I have heard people ascribe to the writer the circumstances of the voice in his song. Dylan must be lost spiritually because "the answers, my friend, are blowing in the wind." If Dylan hasn't told us, we don't know.

If my lyrics were autobiographical, there'd be some interesting tabloid fodder there. Among other things, I have a "pony tail and torn jeans" and am in love with a girl named "Amanda," but I'm also ready to slit my wrists because "I don't need no one to bring me down, cause in my wasted world, I'm already six feet underground."

Rather than trying to determine the details of a writer's personal life by the words he has chosen to write, we should take Hardy's advice, recognize that what we're getting is an impression of a moment in time, and we should let that impression wash over us and try to enjoy it for what it is, rather than what we imagine it might point to.]]> http://scottkingmusic.com/news.html#13 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0700 The Official Scott King Website - Scott King - News/Blog http://scottkingmusic.com/news.html#11
Now, they've made a documentary of the late, great man, and I can't wait to see it. The writer of the CNN article does a fine job of explaining Larry's importance not only in the evolution of Christian rock -- I'm grinning at my choice of words there :) -- but also his place in the history of Rock & Roll, period.

“We lost. Others won. But it just so happens that others won thanks to us losing. The history of the underdevelopment of Latin America is interconnected with the history of the development of worldwide capitalism. Our destruction was always implicit (from the time of Columbus and the first colonization, Galeano argues elsewhere) in foreign victory. Our riches have always generated our poverty in order to nourish the prosperity of others.”

I think President Chávez’s gesture is a way to ask the U.S. President to be the first in the White House to truly listen, and I think Barack Obama wants to listen, and it is good to listen. Listening does not mean agreeing. It means listening. Listening carries hope with it. Hope that we may find common ground and achieve peace through common understanding and respect and compromise, and none of that means that we can’t still walk softly and carry a big stick and even use that stick should extending the hand of friendship fail. We can even read a book that is critical of us, because if after we've read it we disagree with its arguments, then we can dismiss it, knowing what it is we're dismissing. And if the critique is valid, then we get to learn where we may have been wrong, and we get a chance to become better.

I’m proud of our president’s actions with Mr. Chávez, and my respect for Barack Obama continues to go up even as I wonder why I ever liked Dennis Miller. He should have stuck to comedy on HBO.]]> http://scottkingmusic.com/news.html#5 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0700 The Official Scott King Website - Scott King - News/Blog http://scottkingmusic.com/news.html#4 http://cdbaby.com/cd/xguru]]> http://scottkingmusic.com/news.html#4 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0700 The Official Scott King Website - Scott King - News/Blog
