That Crashing Sound

by Tommy on July 2, 2010

I get a lot of offline comments, thoughts, and shares emailed to me as a result of this site, but this one really struck me.

Check out thatcrashingsound.blogspot.com.  Barry is an artist, and I find his writing and photography intriguing and important.

“That crashing sound that you hear just might be the collapse of the middle class. My cholesterol is higher than my credit score. I just found my first white chest hair. My teenage son is reading Nietzsche, so I am too. I think about lots of things I want to share with you. Sometimes I’ll share a picure or song or story or recipe. It’s late now and I’m sure I’m not impressing anyone, so I’ll get a few hours of sleep then get up and watch CBS Sunday Morning with my wife. Good times.”

Thanks for the email, Barry.  We’re definitely kindred.

Good luck out there, Everyone.  I am pulling for the best in us with all my might.

Except the snow and the rain.
I really like Drew Carey
and I’d love to see
The Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame.”

Nice. Thanks, Dan.

I thought I was going to have to let all 30 “dental hygienist” spam comments through in order to get through the chirping crickets.

I knew I could count on you.

Yeah, but the live version isn’t as good as the studio..I love that song and when I noticed Barry was in OHm it was the first thing in front of the compass. Maybe that’s my next unwritten book title: “What’s in Front of YOUR Compass?” by CAPTAIN! Jack Sparrow
