Hey guys... we'll get to last night's presidential debate in a minute. Did you watch it? Y'know... if you're like me and you've already made up your mind, it's more like watching a sports event than a debate. That's kind of unfortunate in some ways. These things are hardly "debates". (We'll get into that further down the page.)
Welcome to everyone reading this across the country and in different parts of the world. You guys... shoot me an email and let me know where you live. (I love checkin' that once in a while!)
Here in New York City...
...are you watchin' the weather like me?
Yeah, I really wanna get out to Central Park one more time this year - even if it's just for a few hours. I wanna kinda put a cap on the season before I start talkin' about "The Something-th Annual Year End Concert". (There might be something really interesting goin' on with that gig!)
Suddenly, the location and dates of that thing are up-in-the-air!
I'll let you know how it all comes down in a few days I hope.
Wanna start you guys off with a laugh today. Have you taken a moment to imagine what a Sarah Palin presidency might look like? Turn on your speakers, put your hand on your mouse and then... here. Click on this image.

Hey!
Did you guys dig the scene between George Baily (Jimmy Stewart) and John McCainin yesterday's update?
.
Okay... THAT DEBATE!
One again... really disappointed in Barack Obama.
Not more than I am in all American politicians these days, but once again I was disappointed. For the life of me, I can't understand why one of these people doesn't finally get up on his hind legs and just let 'em have it... just let it rip. (I guess I'll never be a politician.) Still, I think America might be ready for it.
But, this election will be the last best hope this country's got, so I hope the American people have the courage to elect Obama.
McCain just looked silly most of the night. It's a little bit sad in a way. Kinda wild to watch any man dance around the Truth like John McCain did. But after his closing statement, for the last time...
...I have one thing to say to Senator McCain.
Dammit! I'M NOT YOUR "FRIEND"!!!
Listen, I'll be back tomorrow with some more about that thing last night. I'd also like to invite you all to keep emailing me with your thoughts and feelings (briefly) about what you saw last night. Maybe I'll post a selection of them here at the site.
For now, here are some of the recent photoshop pics I've been posting here at the site.
HEY! Download any song and copy any photo you find here and feel free to pass them all around the internet.
Okay, some fun stuff. HERE IT IS! The new Sarah Palin parody, "Don't Know Palin"
If you've been coming around here lately, you know we've been having a lot of fun around the choice of Sarah Palin to be John McCain's vice presidential running mate. (You can download the new song a little further down the page, and then pass it all around the internet.)
Click on the image to download the song.
This is not the radio-friendly FCC-pleasing version. This is the version for the rest of us and for podcasters and bloggers who aren't encumbered by censorship.
I rrreeeeeaaallllly want you guys to download this for yourselves, but then pass it on to several friends around the country, especially in those "swing states". (C'mon... this is New York. I know at least half of you have relatives in Florida!)
By the way... if you're new around here and you'd like to check out a more extensive picture gallery, just click on this link.
Now, listen. I've told you guys that I feel the upcoming election in November is the first on in my lifetime that should be.... um... UNANIMOUS!
So, you can imagine how surprised I was when... well...
I was speechless when this guy showed up in the park last Saturday. And, breathless when he said he wanted to sing. (And incredulous when he took his shirt off.) But, what the hell. He wanted to sing "Bomb Iran" but I wouldn't let him. I told him the jokes he repeatedly makes about killing Iranian people aren't funny, and that the thought of him in the Oval Office is about as scary as it gets. So instead, he sang a medley of ABBA hits. That was weird... but safer.
This man is a nightmare. We have work to do.
(sigh)
I know there are always people visiting here who have NO idea what I do!
So, I very often like to make a few songs available as FREE downloads. Here are a few more...
Anyway... everybody, there's always a lot of cool stuff goin' on around here. I'm just makin' this shit up as I go along.. (Photoshop images, political cartoons, FREE songs to download.) I hope you keep stopping by here every day. And if you dig this kinda thing, I hope you turn a few friends onto it as well. (If you don't like this kinda thing... um.. uh... how the hell did you get all the way to the bottom of this page!?)
The rest of you... keep in touch.
Thanks for everything.

As you may know I am producing a documentary about "That Guitar Man from Central Park". I would like to ask all David's fans out there to write me and tell me any stories you may have about David and his playing in Central Park and how it has affected you or what it has meant to you. I've already heard some great stories, but I know there are more that I haven't heard. So if you got a story to tell about David and his music, please briefly write it out and send it to stories@thatguitarman.com . I will be contacting people from the stories submitted to interview them for possible inclusion in the film. Thank you and I look forward to seeing everyone on the hill this summer. - Dean
