Some context for you to maybe make it clearer...
If you were in the recording industry or film industry always you had to gamble. Would this song be a hit, will this film break me or make me? I put my house and everything on the line. Not me personally but every person who tried to be a sumbody out there.
The millions of people who went to Hollywood and ended up driving a bus or working as a waitress. They all have a story.
And we hear about the great ones, the people who made it. And those are great stories. We love to find out what was going on behind the scenes. I was very fortunate to be there the second wave too young for the first one in 1963 etc, old enough to see it and to feel it, when I was working at my dad's garage in 1969 and a guy said to me did you hear there is a huge rock festival going on at Woodstock today! I said WOW count me in and I hitchhiked to Woodstock Ontario it took me an hour and a half to get there, only to find out it was Woodstock NY.
That was what the first wave was like for me, at 13, you can go to Greenwich Village, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea.
You can go to San Francisco, for the Summer of Love 1967 at age 11, but it would probably be not a good idea. You don't see a lot of 11 year olds in the photos.
So I was fortunate enough to make it to the second event after 2000 and was primed for it. But had to be the support system for women to see that it went according to plan.
And in doing so got to be a part of it. During the years from 1963 until then things changed so much, unless your music was country and western. Guess what? They just walked through those years like a walk on the farm. Never broke a sweat.
The greatest country songs ever written and sung number one, Stand By Your Man Tammy Wynette, and by her husband, George Jones, He Stopped loving her Today.
She stood by him for two weeks, then divorced him for drinking too much.
And so everybody made him sing that second song, and they crafted that song like it was the Mona Lisa. Every nuance every note perfected and delivered hoping to put a stake in her cold cold heart.
I lived in the country before my trip to the big city as the top gun programmers consultant for IBM and Bell Telephone for Y2K, then from there to Hollywood so with that behind me, I could hold my head up and girls like Adriana and Avril could be proud of me far more than if I was fresh from my hobby farm. I looked good in a suit flew in the helijet, but before that I was dating a girl from Alaska some times, a girl named Jewel. And so when she saw me in Hollywood she called me right away, and I missed her call. I don't know what she must have been thinking right then when she saw me conquer Hollywood almost on arrival, from my hobby farm, but she certainly wanted a ride.
So she did the song Standing Still. and if you watch that video you will see through what she is saying but you won't see me there get the girl, she has to opt for a different cowboy, because I was neck deep in glamor models and beauty queens and super stars and actresses, but somehow you know it was going to be like that anyway.
That she would meet someone else and get married, and the times we spent together would add up to inspiration for a few songs hit songs for her, and good memories only.
When George Jones died, his best friend sang that song at his funeral at the Grand Ol Opry. He stopped Loving Her Today. Not a dry eye in the house.
In country music George is legend. So is his best friend Alan Jackson.
Alan Jackson - He stopped loving Her Today, at George Jones' funeral.
That's your search term.
When I think about that it makes all the stress of those years and all the conflict and all the confusion just fade away, when during that entire time, those people were unaffected by it. While we were in Hollywood they were doing great with songs like Friends in Low Places. Justin Timberlake even went there in 2014.
Justin Timberlake and Garth Brooks - Friends In Low Places - Nashville, December 19, 2014
In all my time in Hollywood only one woman ever said my name. Adriana said it as she hit the runway in 2013. And to me, that has made all the difference.
I dated Victoria Justice for 13 years remotely and not once did she say my name.
There is a song about women like that. A country music song, and I want to play it for her right now.
You Never Even Called Me By My Name - David Alan Coe
you can search these I don't have to link to them and piss off some algorithm.
Our first song Victoria's and mine was because she cheated on me right away, this is royal match making she is Merope and here we go she gets her own TV show Victorious and they set her up with a hunk she cannot resist.
I picked country songs because only they could understand what it is like to see your own heart in pieces in the dirt outside a saloon. Avril knows she mentioned it. When it was over her.
Victoria and my first song, a classic, she'll do me she'll do you, she's got that kinda lovin, The Lovesick blues by Hank Williams.
Then after Victoria's boyfriend got a drunk driving charge and they broke up it was my turn, by now I was dating everyone all the VS angels and every actress in Hollywood,
Its a long time forgotten the dreams that have passed by the way, and the good life he promised ain't what she's livin today, Good Hearted Woman by Waylon and Willie.
Then Rod Stewart time traveled I think to do a remake of a song for us, if you leave me a 100 times, 100 times I'll take you back, this was during those years when I only saw her once a week then she disappeared. This ol Heart of Mine - Rod Stewart.
Then finally Queen, Who wants to live forever.
Our bodies are already there where we are going later and we both got our bodies tweaked as well by the matrix so we are 21 and lookin good and lookin for some fun as soon as we get where we are going. God willing. And we will keep that drive alive as long as we can, with friends and family, and who knows for how long.
This is our fight song...
