Welcome to the website.

Here in New York City... I guess we're gettin' close to wrappin' up another great season. Maybe we'll get out there for a couple more weekends. Hope we get to hang together in Central Park at least one or two more times.

Check back here on Friday or Saturday morning to see if we'll head out there this coming Saturday afternoon.

Hey we've been havin' a lot of fun around here.

But, here at "That Guitar Man" - - as an American singer/songwriter and a fiercely, politically Independent man, I'm kinda sprintin' to the finish in this presidential election year. (I honestly feel this might be the single most important election in this nation's entire history.... only because the last 8 years have been so globally disastrous, the principles upon which this nation was founded have all but been forgotten, and to me this country has become unrecognizable.) This election might be our last best hope to bring it back, even just a little.

And now we've got this northern twinkie named Sarah Palin who... okay, she oughta be a joke. Actually, for the most part... she has become a joke! (Thank you Tina Fey.)

But yesterday Ms. Palin said this about Senator Obama.

Obama "...is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country. This ladies and gentleman, is not the kind of change that I think we should be believin' in.''

Now, I tried to imagine what might be going on inside that warped, frozen brain of hers....


"Pal around with terrorists."

But... no.

She's not stupid. And she doesn't really believe the things she's saying.

She's just another unprincipled, Spiritually bankrupt, hypocritical phony.

She's a disgrace. And if you're a registered Republican and you're not embarrassed by her and her running mate, insulted by a statement like this, and ashamed of the current occupant of the Oval Office.... I have nothing left to say to you except, Man! You just don't get it and you never will!

(Ha! Ask me how I reeeeallly feel!)

Okay... ROCK ON!

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...

WHERE'S THE VOICE
CRAZY ON THE SAME DAY
TOM CRUISE SCARES ME
JESUSLAND

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.

A note from filmmaker Dean Love...

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
