Power... Fantastic.

Music matters. Music heals.
30 years ago, this past week Meat Loaf released "Bat Out of Hell 2", it was the last album my brother ever bought. It came out the same day that Prince released the "Hits/The B-Sides". I bought that the same day. We spent that day cranking all four of those CDs.
Meat Loaf and Prince, and unlikely combination.
My brother died a couple weeks later.
And those releases, those CDs, were part of my healing.
30 years later I get nostalgic about that healing. And realize I'm still healing.

Love to all my friends. All my family. Love to all who open their hearts and minds to the power of music. 



And I still own those CDs.  

So should you.

Johnnie Sojive Sez: Come See "Bernice, Too" October 13th!

Summer's not over yet!

  21 years ago, this week I moved back to Connecticut from a year and a half in Brandon, Florida.

Every year as summer ends, I think about that time.  And I'm always glad I came back. Until it snows of course. I hate the fucking snow.  But anyway...

And as the summer ends I also find my mind moving towards my brother who died just as summer was ending in 1993.  Next month it'll be 30 years since he died.

How did 30 years pass so quick?

Which means it's 23 years since my mom died. Almost on the anniversary of my brother's death.

How did this time pass?


1978

I don't feel old.  I don't believe in "the good ol' days". 
Every day is what you make of it.  The good ol' days are every yesterday. 
Not just memories from decades past.

Life has been good. 
I'm glad it's been weird too.

And if you're in: Let's make it even weirder.

Destiny...


 Took my dad to see this flick today. 

We've seen them all together since I was 6 years old. Full of fun, good action, and heart. Even got choked up a couple of times. 

The best sequels are movies that can stand on their own. And even with this movie making mention and wrapping up storylines from the previous four it could still be watched on its own and be a lot of fun and entertaining. Nothing will ever beat Raiders of the Lost Ark. But this movie is truly an Indiana Jones movie. I recommend it, all the characters are great and made sense. 

Again it was fun and fun is all I want when I see Indiana Jones. Ignore what the followers online will say because they just want to hate things to get more likes and views and just want to hate things cuz they're new. This was a fantastic way to wrap up 43 years of Adventures.

Give him hell Indiana Jones.

Thanks to all of ya.
