Im not really sure why I decided to start this blog.
To start with I have Rock 4 Rookies, my radio show where I can basically say whatever I want because its mine. But that's not really true is it?
From the very beginning I set down rules for myself and for the show. So far, off the top of my head I can think of three rules.
1. No matter what i discuss or play, it needs to be rock related
2. No really bad cursing.
Well that's all I could think about for right now but the point is that the first one is a doozy! First off, there are always things I would like to add and tangents about rock I would like to go off on b ut I cant. I cant because Im stuck in a format. That should be the number one rule when deferring to Rock and Roll, NEVER HAVE RULES. I have my set number of songs because chaos scares away the listeners.
Sure, every week I finish recording my show, finally listen to myself and wonder how my wife can bare to be seen with me in public. On the other hand perhaps I think myself more of a rebel then I really am. Either way, listening to myself say stupid things is always great. I am vain. One has to be vain to listen to their own voice.
So as bold as I feel when I make strange voices or start singing out my dedications on the show, when I look back, I realize that there are other things going on in my life or ideas that float in between my ear tunnel that I need to get off my chest, and that's what this bloggie device here will be used for. Not speeches or sermons or lessons, just ideas or rants.
Now I do hope that the post will be relevant to Rock 4 Rookies and my handle MAXIMUM MIKE, because if its not then this blog is seriously misnamed. So yes, this is probably the best time to announce that Metallica's first single is now available on the their site. http://metallica.com/index.asp?item=601119
Im going to take it as a sign that the new song is now available as is this blog because Metallica is the band that gave me my first taste of non radio mainstream rock. 12th Grade of highschool, found me with my friend Yair playing the song TURN THE PAGE and I would like to Share it with you.
I hope that the song inspires you to not let yourself get stuck into what you think are your only options.
I am a fan of the phrase "Letting you hair down", god knows I say it often enough on the show but what Im asking is that you do more than that, I'm asking that you let a little chaos into your life, the kind of chaos you don't usually expect. Sure we have crazy exams and our cars break down and we're late by no fault of our own, but thats regular chaos. The kind I'm talking about is the type that you make yourself, just to know your alive. Say whats on your mind, let people know what your thinking. Do it for you and do it for them. Don't go out and insult people, that's not what I'm saying. Just dont stay quiet. So many people I know have so much to say and so much to show off but they stay in their little shells. BREAK OPEN!!!! Thats what this Blog will be for me, a ... a nutcracker of sorts.
As I emerge, I hope to make this blog about all of us toeing the line together, no matter how far apart we may be.
oh, ps, Im still going to try to stick to the whole no cursing thing but if I slip, please forgive me.
