Okay... y'know what I'm thinkin'?

Man, it's a little chilly here in New York City today.

I'm thinkin' this was an amazing season this year. Really a series of wonderful days in Central Park, and thousands and thousands of cool people, all hangin' together, sharing some music and a bunch of laughs.

Last Saturday was one of those typically-amazing days.

But it just didn't feel like I said goodbye for another year. So, today... no matter how cool it gets on "The Hill", I've gotta go out there and sing in Central Park one more time. So, put on an extra layer for the time the Sun goes behind The San Remo - and let's hang together again.

Seriously, bring a sweater or an extra blanket.

Got a good feeling about today, even if we just get out there for a few hours.

I need to put a cap on this summer... to say...

Thank You.

Y'know?

My life is really pretty amazing. I am the luckiest man alive and I know it. I'll fill you guys in on the plans for "The Something-th Annual Year End Concert" as soon as I know what's goin' down. I'm thinking that I'll be able to let you guys know some time this coming week.

It's gonna be cool. If you've never been to one of these things, take my word for it.... you don't wanna miss it. They're always a blast.

Um... okay.

I gotta get out to the park. Y'never know what's gonna happen out there. For instance, last Saturday something cool was put in my guitar case. At the end of the day was I was packing up to head home, after a long 5 and half hours of music... my buddy and fellow singer, David Marcus, came up to me with a sketch that someone had done and left in the case.

The artist signed it and it looks like his name is Brendan Winston, or Huston. Believe me (if you're reading this, Brendan.) it's gonna wind up in a frame.

Thanks!

I'm also an illustrator. (Did that for a living another Lifetime ago.) But, lately my new medium has become Photoshop. I'm havin' a blast with it. Y'know? I get a wild idea and then go searching the net for images I can use to Create something totally new to make a point with a wink and a smile... and the results are never exactly what I set out to do.

It's very cool.

Here's an image I posted earlier this week.

"Y-y-you sit around here, spinnin' your webs! Gettin' your - your -your supporters to go out and say
'Barack HUSSEIN Obama' over and over again! Doggone it! Y'know, in-in-in the grand scheme of things,
you're nothin' but a scurvy, little spider.... Mr. John SIDNEY McCain III !"

And, here's the latest song parody and accompanying video.

(Listen, the more I see and hear Sarah Palin, the more I'm thinkin' even the most die-hard Republican ideologues have just GOT to be fucking embarrassed.)

Then again, anyone who can't admit that the last 8 years have seen the worst administration in our lifetime, and that the war in Iraq was a colossal mistake at best or a calculated illegal act of aggression at worst... well, that crosses over into character flaw if you ask me. Or a basic lack, thereof.

Anyway!

HAVE FUN SPREADING THIS AROUND TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND ENEMIES!

Okay, I'm outta here, headin' to the park for one more afternoon this year, doing what I was meant to do.

Thanks again for showin' up here today, thanks for a wonderful summer...

Thanks.
