Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Robert Johnson, Kurt Cobain and, recently, Amy Winehouse, to name a few. What are we doing in our lives that makes the age of 27 so important? Is it that we realize that there is no more youth and weвЂ™re now in the world of being responsible adults? Or itвЂ™s just an astrological event that has to do with SaturnвЂ™s return. It reminds me of images IвЂ™ve seen in places like Jamaica and New Orleans, of funerals conducted by black people for black people, lifting the spirit up to the sky.вЂќДЁ) вЂњ27 ForeverвЂќ вЂ“ вЂњI wanted to write this song in order to give a warning to all the young artists approaching the age of 27 the song is an observation, itвЂ™s a warning and itвЂ™s a very definite phenomena that I was almost a part of. Goodbye, Bo Diddley.вЂќД§)вЂќIn the GroundвЂќ вЂ“ вЂњIt has a great gospel feeling to it. Bo Diddley was so important but heвЂ™s been underrated in the world of modern music. I promised him then and there that I would write a farewell song to him. As my wife and I stood looking down at Bo, in his state of grace, I was thinking to myself, вЂIвЂ™ll bet heвЂ™s lying there listening to everything that people are saying about him.вЂ™ He was so alive. I was invited to his funeral ceremony and after hero-worshipping the guy for years, I never had the chance to meet him face-to-face, until he was lying in his coffin. I wrote this song so I wonвЂ™t forget and to say, even though IвЂ™m older now, I am still out there with you.вЂќД¦)вЂќBo Diddley SpecialвЂќ вЂ“ вЂњI use any excuse I can to utilize the Bo Diddley вЂbilongo beat.вЂ™ I just like to be at that particular place that Bo Diddley created, which has its roots in Africa. I went through these experiences and theyвЂ™re still with me today. It reminds me of Paris in 1968 when I saw the kids going up against the brutal police force or the L.A. This song is dedicated to the people in Egypt and Libya trying to throw off the shackles of all those centuries of brutality. ItвЂ™s the need for change that drives us to join forces with our brothers and sisters all around the world вЂ“ but change is slow.

ItвЂ™s the spirit of youth that has to be acknowledged. Wait for your soul to catch up to you and love will find youвЂќДҐ)вЂќOld Habits Die HardвЂќ вЂ“ вЂњThe hero emerges from the gas clouds with a red bandana wrapped around his neck and a molotov cocktail in his hand. It is like learning meditation in this crazy world, everything moves so fast. IвЂ™m here to tell you that it can happen to you as it happened to me. This song is for everyone out there who is alone and thinks theyвЂ™ll never find the perfect match. I had this Latin love melody in my head and I let the words breathe, like IвЂ™m whispering to her, the one I love. I waited for a long time and finally she came along. And one cannot exist without the other.вЂќД¤)вЂќWaitвЂќ вЂ“ вЂњI wrote this song for my wife. ItвЂ™s a constant struggle as to which one will win. Inside each of us, there is the seed of both good and evil.
