If you think television media is at an all time low i
agree! read my lyric from Fortune & Fame below:
Fortune & Fame
she's the one we loved the most
on last nights reality show
she should be granted celebrity status
let's get her to sing and dance
print up that fake romance
it's the crap they keep throwing at us ....
ch
the vandals of quality are pulling all the strings
no hero's are hiding in the wings
but in the end does it really matter
when speaking of fortune and fame
he's the one that lied the most
got caught,went on to boast
of all the famous people that he screwed
instead of going up in smoke
he's now a talk show host
and by the million's he is viewed ch
bridge
the people in your world you drive by them each day
they are taking up a cause in many different ways
what about the guy on the telephone pole
he's taking care of kid's there is mercy in his soul
where's the reason where's the sense
situation's getting tense
when we make heroes out of fools
get your fifteen minutes of fame
then you gotta leave the game
anything longer is'nt cool ch out
allright im not just about bithchin about the media.how
about my character in "dead man's shoes"

author: OraI have had the pleasure of seeing Rick perform at several occasions and events. I am ALWAYS impressed with the amount of talent that he has. I LOVE his new Album ...he has definitely shown his ability to write some very thought provoking lyrics. He and all the talented musicians in the band have continued to impress me with their musical expertise. All of the songs in this CD are excellent....Desparate World was the musical piece in this album that really caught my attention and really caused me to think about others less fortunate than myself. Great CD worth buying!!!!

author: Rev. AlSaw Rick live up on Lake George last summer & got this copy of the CD. Estuary is my favorite along w/ Truck Stop Jesus. (that song actually makes you feel like your in an 18 wheeler rolling down the mid-west somewhere!) Rick's writing is strong here all throughout. Good thought provoking lyrics. Of course the playing & sound mix is very good. It is a great addition to any collection.

author: Pat TucciA well-crafted album with great musicianship and vocals, and a much broader range of styles than Rick's work with Out of Control. The songs are personal and honest. My favorites include Fortune & Fame, Family Tree, Deadman's Shoes, and I'm Cryin' (Rick's cover of early influence Eric Burdon's song). Definitely worth buying.

Excellent music and lyrics! All talented musicians - great violin solos. A number of these songs could be big hits in wide release. Personal favorites: Fortune & Fame, Desperate World, Truck Stop Jesus... all great - hard to pick!
