Hey folks how about giving my good friend some traffic.
He and his wife just released their new CD.

One song for TOD is called:

Gas Pump Blues

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendi...

I turned him on to Peak Oil, and all the other related issues. He and his wife wrote the song.

Forrest used to be a Session Guitarist for MussleShoals Recording studio. Everytime you hear Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll" (Song from Dirty Business) you are hearing Forrest's Lead Guitar Solo.

So give the song a listen to. Heck Buy the song and/or CD some great Country Blues for you this morning.

TIA

John

Nice song. Awesome guitar in the background - got the classic painting from our national epos on it! The bad witch of the north is trying to steal the Sampo, or the Finnish equivalent of cornucopia from the mighty wizard Väinämöinen. Cool.. Stealing our cornucopian dream.. :-)

PS I guess it's Muscle Shoals - Wilson Pickett etc..

When I first started reading this site, I referred it to a PO denier as counterpoint. He replied that he tried reading this site, but found it to be an 'oil company tout' blog. Well, I'm thinking that the charge shouldn't be limited to oil companies.

"... but found it to be an 'oil company tout' Well, I'm thinking that the charge shouldn't be limited to oil companies. "

If you are saying that it is a commercial plug for an album. Well, what can I tell you.

I have been Peak Oil aware for 6+ years. In that time I have reached out to everyone I know to try to awaken them to it. One good friend that I have known for 20 years GOT IT. Him and his wife wrote a song about it.

We (at TOD) reference and plug other Peak Oil Sites. They're even listed on the right side of this page. We reference Articles about Peak Oil everyday.

I thought some of the community would appreciate one of our own writing something about it.

Sorry you saw it as crass commercialism. He probably won't even break even on producing the record in his basement by himself. No Record company, No million dollar contract.

So EXCUSE ME.

One guy's interpretation of peak oil expressed in a song is like promoting oil co's? Get a life and be less 'sceptical' of other people's intentions.
