Music, Sex and Poetry

Sitting on a Zebra Rug, in an apartment......somewhere downtown in Soho, New York. I sat strumming a guitar and singing to myself....Oh can someone give me some free love...can’t pay your rent, my monies already spent, but give me some light and easy free love. ...I was pondering the possibility of finding, free love in New York or whether it even existed anyway even back in the 60’s...what does it take to find it? Well according to one very spunky English chick who shampooed my hair at a hair salon. It would take a flight to either London or Rome. The Love Gods of New York city do not exist!!! I asked her to qualify a Love God....she said in a great cockney accent " No Names, No Numbers....just you know some good raw love!!! no they all want to take you out wine you and dine you and get to know you’’. I did notice one very hot barman...with a tee-shirt that read "Lovers come from Detroit’’...he was also a self proclaimed recording engineer!!! Whether he was a love god I’m not sure....but he was sure he had got a friend request from me!!! Wow the power of myspace......to link us all up. I Love New York. Its just got so much soul I feel very at home there and despite the fact I was getting over a bad cough...I was happy to bundle up in 4 layers of clothes and walk around. I like to just go hang in my favorite breakfast joint Versuvios in Soho. I like sitting in the Cafe’s and just watching the people and I like how open and straight to the point New Yorkers are...Hey Sexy wanna go for a ride...reminds me of Europe...I love a place I can walk on the streets...a couple of summers ago I stayed there for 3 months so I got to know it well. I became really friendly with some of the paparazzi...especially one called Hector and we would sit and have these great philosophical debates....Id read him my poetry and he’d be like that’s great cause the people will dig it cause its real. I also went to a Ronnie Woods Art exhibition at my friend’s gallery Pop in Soho. Great to see all his images of the Rolling Stones. Sitting on a Zebra rug in a loft somewhere in soho.... a picture of Bob Dylan looking down on me what I love about New York is it full art and artist and they really.. dig the business of being an artist, I get real Inspiration there, I get turned on by all the great art and great conversations and fashion. I Did find my Love God in the form of Fabrice, a French hair stylist...who gave me the coolest hair cut....Yeh I went a bit shorter for spring. The hair cut was so good, he asked me if I would be moving to New York for him....If your in New York Fabrice Rocks at the Fredrick Faikai Salon......say Zoe sent you .So hope you all had a good spring break...What did you all do !!!?My recommendations in New York to see Soho artist, the main drags are lined with artist West Broadway and Prince. I bought a cool photo which read "Don’t Work See the World". The Mercer hotel restaurant does great café latte and there is always some one interesting to chat too. Versuvios the oldest bakery in New York on Prince Street. John Lennon Imagine memorial sight in central park. The Poets walk in central park, simply eternal. The Bowery Ballroom for great rock music...take a trip to the big apple simply inspirational ZOE

I’ve been laid up on the sofa watching the Beatles Anthology all week because I finally got the dreaded bug. How fascinating to hear the Beatles talking about the Summer of Love and George Harrison talking about going from drugs to meditation. I guess as Jim Morrison said out west the collective art form has always been "getting down!" Well there are many ways to "get down," but as long as I got my music I’m ok. I feel a lot of joy and inspiration right now. Every day is a beautiful new stream of ideas. Imagine me hiding out in my sanctuary, drowning in tapes, lyrics and tracks. In the end you only need 10-12 songs on an album, but I think I’m ready to get committed!!! Cause hey...I definitely want to pop this lovely record out to you by summer! I feel like I’ve almost written 3 albums: the dark record, the light record and the desert record. And now I’m taking a little from each to give you guys some more lovely, sexy, intimate rockin’ tunes from Zoe! I thought about the song California Dreamin’ yesterday. Ahhh, California, the wide open spaces! The sunlight! The citrus fruit are ripening, and I feel like one of those little hummingbirds who are checking out every flower in the garden. I once heard my friend rock drummer, Kenny Aranoff say "you can take away the money, but you can’t take my music away from me." I watched Kenny play last week. He was sheer, undulating rhythm. Man, he’s got beat...every part of him moves with the groove.
Nothing going on but the tunes and a bit of healing!
Send me some love!

Zoe

I guess there is one thing I really believe in and that is the power of Love, to heal to inspire to create and just move mountains.....Nietzsche the philosopher wrote ''where there is no Love walk on by''. I pretty much live by this phrase...or maybe, "where the love is... thats where you'll find me''. I guess love is so abundant there are so many opportunities, to find it. I can remember times feeling love and feeling how inconvienent that was, not part of the plan....how very funny.....but I'm learning to hold the paint brush a little less tightly and let the canvas paint it self !!!! Yeh my mum who is a magical painter in england, taught me and my sister a certain way to look at the earth, all the colours in nature... I feel this is an incredible blessing... have you ever seen Tuscany in Italy in the fall ? Have you witnessed the colours as they change ?....you realize how creative nature is and we are all part of the dance. Recently I realized that when I judge someone negatively it's usually because I have character traits similar to them myself and I am just not being honest with myself.

We all have the capacity to experience pure love in this lifetime...IF WE CHOOSE. I AM REALIZING THAT SPIRITUAL LOVE FOR ANOTHER HUMAN IS PROFOUND.....I think when I was younger, romantic love took the focus, but now I realize I have the capacity to love so many different people....its spiritual love! I do believe in past lives...that we have often met those we are drawn too in some other life. and maybe in some parallell universe we are living out all the possibilities. Sometimes we put up so many road blocks when we could just experience the love..... I feel that is what spirit really wants for us, to just experience the love and then when it is no longer, move on by. I think we are all molecules of love...I think negitive emotions are what causes disease.....cancer I think is a disturbance in the emotional body. I think schools should teach us to trust our intuition....I think schools should teach us to trust the power of love!!! I think when we feel full and give ourselves what we need, then we can give to the rest of the world...If every day was just a celabration of the power of Love, Imagine how this planet would be vibrating. So next time someone says I love U... don't doubt it... dont under value it...Love will set you free!!! Lets celebrate it LOOOOOOOOOOOVE I LOVE YOU ZOEXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
