Hello this is Michael G, A few of asked what are some of my inspirations when it comes to writing. Well, to tell the truth they are varied and many. I write mostly what affects me, and that is just about anything. I know, really narrowed it down. I go on road trips, to clear my mind and soul, to meet people, to find out how to live without being constrained to a work environment like we all are. Those trips inspire me more than anything. Music though has always had a special spot within me. I grew up (gasp) in the 70's and 80's, and at 35 still can remember quite well the music scene in Los Angeles where I grew up. One band in particular, always inspired me, and though not main stream, still put on one hell of a show. The following is one piece from them..... Black Planet from The Sisters Of Mercy 1983 In the western sky my kingdom come So still So dark all aver you And I ride down the highway 101 By the side of the ocean headed for sunset For the kingdom come For a, Black Black planet Black, black world Black, black planet Black, black world.... Run around in the radiation Run around in the acid rain On a blsck, clak planet Black planet hanging over the highway Out of my minds eye Out of the memory Black world Out of my mind So still So dark all over you And the rainbow rises here In the western sky that they kill to show for And the end of the Great white pier I see a Black Black planet Black, black world Black, black planet Black, black world.... Run around in the radiation Tune in, turn on Burn out In the acid rain on a Black Black planet Black, black world Black, black planet Black, black world.... |

Michael, thank you for sharing a little of yourself with us. It is always of interest to me to understand how and why people write as they do. You are a wonderful poet and a talent such as yours is a rarity indeed. And here I was thinking you were going to say that some of your inspiration was me.   PS. ( you may find this may be best in one of our discussion areas)  It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley [This message has been edited by Marina (edited 07-05-2001).] |
