A couple years ago, I was driving around the back roads of the Veneto in Italy and took a marvelous photo of some of the trees. The trees out of the area have a very unique look to them. During WWII, Italians cut off the top limbs to use for firewood. But they left a […]
by Marc Gunn, Sept 12, 2004 I was contacted by a musician recently who’s narrow-minded opinions sparked this. Musical ignorance You’re afraid to listen, learn, and enjoy something new. You judge music instead of learning from it. You profess your musical superiority While children play crop circles around your arrogance. Your creativity extends to the […]
by Marc Gunn, Sept 15, 2004 There was live music out behind the Texas Union that inspired this wee poem. Angels and demons in motion, Waves of electric guitar And erratic breathes of moist air.

by Marc Gunn, August 22, 2004 It is still possible to find peace of mind even when you breakup with someone you can care for greatly as shown by this brief poem of reflection. Sadness is my inspiration. Shame is my quill. Guilt is my parchment. Remorse is the ink I spilled. But love is […]
words by Marc Gunn; music Third Eye Blind A parody of “How’s It Gonna Be” by Third Eye Blind. This song is a howling tribute to Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and her once true vampiric love, Angel. Incidentally, this song was written before Angel was killed, and before he got his own TV series! I […]
