I get to go home and see my boys for their birthday. YAY! 6 Years old! Originally published at Marc Gunn .com. Read. Interact. Breathe. It’s easy; it’s free.
Old vs. New Music Business
Last night, after our show, we played a song for a couple of Ike refugees. One of them was wrote for Billboard Magazine for 15 years or so. When the song was finished, he had that look on his face. I went up to him, and he told me how good our sound was. With […]
If ____ Wins, I’m Moving to ____!
It’s official. I’ve now heard people on both sides of the political arena say if their candidate doesn’t win then they are moving to another country. I think it’s absurd to even say jokingly. But then I like satirizing the absurd, so I thought of a fun game to make fun of all candidates. Yup. […]
I Love Making Up Words
I was reading a story I wrote a long time ago. I think I posted it in my LJ a while back. Don’t remember where. I was re-reading it tonight and saw another word that was listed as a “misspelling”. But what’s a misspelling if you’re just having fun with the English language, AND it […]
Dream the Impossible
I must confess that I don’t believe in the word “impossible”. It’s my Amway upbringing. I have a bad habit. Every time someone starts telling me what they dream about doing, I begin telling them how they can make it happen. I know it’s just a dream. Some people like separating dreams from reality. I’m […]
Political Cynicism
When it comes to politics, I’m a cynic. For the most part, I know who I want to vote for in the next election. What is disturbing to me is the lies the candidates are telling to sell their points. Recently, I started reading The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris. In it, Timothy tells […]
Be On Time
I was reading Seth Godin’s latest blog on Time, and how it is “the #1 most overlooked secret of marketing”. I’m not sure where my sense of timeliness came from. In the 10th grade, I won $100 because I was the only person with a perfect attendance. I never skipped on classes. Maybe it goes […]
Marc Weeklies: Everything’s Better with Pirates
My body is so out of whack. Acupuncture really is fascinating. I never thought much about the way things affect my body. I’m not even sure what is doing what to me, but I have felt physically off since DragonCon… not sick… just off. Fortunately, I am taking good care of myself with lots of […]
Samwise Gamgee (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, May 30, 2007 I’m not sure where my fascination with Samwise Gamgee of Lord of the Rings came from, but he is one of my favorite song subjects. He is a good-hearted loyal friend to Frodo. Without him, Frodo would never have succeeded. I recorded this song for my CD, What Color […]
How Do You Tell a Woman You’re in Love with Her? (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn I wrote this song in September, 2007. It began with a riff on the autoharp. It was raining outside, so I just singing some random lyrics into my digital recorder. Then I refined the story, re-recorded it with instrumentation and loved the danceable fun feel of the song. I added it to […]
