Music, Sex and Poetry

There's a lot of stuff in the news right now about sex addiction, because of the scandal involving Tiger Woods; as well as Sandra Bullock and Jesse James.
Of course, the entertainment industry is really promiscuous. I think sex is often offered to rock stars and actors like rum used to be given to officers in the navy while they were on long voyages, turning some of them into alcoholics. Any kind of addiction is just about a high, to avoid feeling what's really going on in life. It short circuits the possibility of deeper connections, like love and devotion. I've known people in the industry who go through one sex partner after another; in fact, sometimes even a few in one week. It kind of ruins their lives and hurts everyone around them. They end up looking pretty jaded and pretty silly.
In the 1960's there was the "Free Love" movement, in which it perfectly acceptable to sleep with numerous partners. Followers of the free love movement not only accepted but encouraged promiscuity. This was okay, before this was before AIDS came into the world. I hate to say it, but the sad truth is the "Free Love" movement is over and now we all need to be a lot more careful and take better care of ourselves.
I think we need to heal our society's relationship with sexuality. Sex can be such a beautiful and sacred thing between two people, and we need to stop treating it like it's fast food.

It's a beautiful Spring day out West! This morning I trained with my ass kicking trainer. I'm looking good, feeling really excited about the future and the present. This week I'm going to be playing at the hot, new, bohemian hang, The Stronghold; over on the west side, in Venice. I'm playing with guitarist, Yogi. Last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of video shoots and photo shoots. We just edited up all the footage documenting some of the process, which will go out as webisodes. Lift off for the new album is June, so everything I'm doing right now is a lead up to that. Just focusing on being as creative and optimistic as possible. I'm living my bliss, and knowing that life is a gift. I'm loving all the different creative people I'm getting to collaborate with. I loved working with photographer Jim Wright on the Black Roses video - hoping to shoot another video with him shortly. Keep an eye out for the webisodes - you will get to see Jim Wright and I working together. I'm going in the studio next week to write an additional single with pop rock producers, the Wizards of Oz. I'm doing some filming on Wednesday for a webisode which talks about my journey to where I am now.
Well, I hope you're all having fun out there! Keep it healthy, happy and take care of each other as best you can! Remember - LOVE IS ALL AROUND!
