I Get By With a Little Help...

Without music, there would be no me.I live my life via the beat of a drum;the strum of a guitar; the heartbreak often found in the lyrics of a country song;the stroke my ego gets from the sick lyrics of a rap song.Sometimes Bruce Springsteen can speak to me like no-one else.Other times, Eminem soothes my soul and rights my world.But in times of darkness, turmoil and change I turn, always, to Guns n' Roses.

On a cold, windy November day, the iconic November Rain and Don't Cry played over and over on my stereo and in my head.As I sat and watched countless lives be forever changed, waiting for the moment mine would to, and struggled to keep my composure, I found comfort in the haunting lyrics.


To all the musicians that get me through life, I tip my hat and say thank-you.Through your art,I will embrace the newest chapter in my life.
