The Bio

The song was started while on the road during the 2005 late fall months. At the time there was the heavy and early campaigning going on for the 2008 election. Every where on TV there was all of these brainless wonders trying to tell me what I should believe in and how I should think. Everywhere and 24 hours a day non stop yak, yak, yak, yak. One night while to find a program on TV I wanted to watch, on every channel all of them all making me crazy, I could not take it anymore. I set down got my pen and D-15 and went to work. Several months later while back home in the studio, a demo was made and “Better Stop” was created. I played around with the song for months, then when a friend was doing a show in the Charleston SC area and I had the opportunity to sit in with him. He suddenly said he must get a drink because his throat was going dry, and out of no where turned the front to me. I stuttered around telling about the song and how it came to be hoping he would return before I made a fool out of myself due to the fact I was not prepared. I could see him at the bar looking at me and laughing and shaking his head, so I thought OK HERE WE GO. The band was shocked when I announced that I was going to do Better Stop due to the fact they had only heard the song briefly before the show. Even though it started out shaky, we pulled it off, (somewhat) and the crowd seemed to enjoy it, (after all it was the third set). The song is what I think about Politicians and Politics. No one will probably ever be interested in the song due to its incorrectness; however I do enjoy doing it when the opportunity arrives.
