Dont know if youre a metallica man, but back when they were touring and writing new material for the album "ride the lightning" They got their van broken into and totally lost everything in the middle of nowhere. James Hetfield wrote the song "fade to black" based on that experience and it ruled.

So hopefully you can draw some inspiration from this if anything. A suffering artist is a productive one.

Fade to black would be one hel of a cover as well.


I appreciate you sharing that story about Metalica, Tom... it kinda made me feel better. I'll have to look into "Fade to Black." Meanwhile I have to shake of this depression and get on with things. Today I'll try to get the ignition switch out so I can run the Jeep... then head down to the insurance people and maybe even write a song about the ordeal on my acoustic.

Ya know... my band mate talked about how they didn't just steal stuff, but part of all our livelihoods. He's NOT someone you want to p!ss off!!!

Live to love, love to live.
