the semi-regular musings of a semi-regular dude who's trying his best to make anything-but-regular music.

1.05.2006

it was 30 years ago today...

hello, 30. nice to meet you. name's newton.

i'm about to show you some shit you never seen before.

be ready.

the big 3-0. scary, huh? nope. it's only scary if you think it's over. it's not over. it's just starting. lennon had some of his best work in his 30's. so did costello. springsteen? maybe. westerberg? sure.

watch out world, here i come.

the best part of all? the muse sat on my shoulder and wrote me a song in the last 90 minutes. outta nowhere. it's not even about getting or being or growing or not wanting to be older. just a song, from a dude, writing songs, about rock and roll. and chicks. it's about rock and roll and chicks.

i'm 30. word the f up.

(love you, mom. here's to ya.)

THANK YOU for getting Gwen Stefani out of my head. Now I have it was 20 years ago today, sgt. pepper taught the band to play, they've been going in and out of style... I'll spare you the rest, since you know it already.

Happy birthday, and very good point about the 30's being great for lots of people. See you this weekend!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NEWTON!!!!!

This is good. Gives me something to look forward to. (Not that there's anything better than 27, but what can you do?)

I know your party will be swell and I'm sad I won't be there. Although I am sending a Presley family representative so at least I'll be there in blood.

I truly hope this is your best ever. Now...let me hear this song you speak of.
