Coming down is the hardest thing

I've been working on this weeks shadow theme, and really liked these creepy shadows, I couldn't figure out what made them, because they didn't seem to follow the shape of the trees that were across the freeway on the other side....so I felt that this also fits the theme for my other group...Friday's Lyrical Imagery...
Free Falling: by Tom Petty
All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Blvd
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts
These shadows sort of look like vampires (walking through the valley) to me, lol!!! : )
For Friday's Lyrical Imagery

Tea Leaf Green
Well raise up our tent in any town that will have us. declares the new studio album by San Franciscos Tea Leaf Green. Produced by David Lowery (Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven, Counting Crows), the album presents eleven, well-crafted songs that tempt the listener to set off on the archetypal American adventure. In times past, you could run away and join the circus or ride the freight trains, and Tea Leaf Green offers the same seductive pull to todays kids. Sharing some of the style and substance of musical contemporaries My Morning Jacket, Wolfmother, and the Raconteurs, Tea Leaf Green conjures the spirit of bands like 70s Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and The Grateful Dead, taking classic sounds and giving them a present-day polish. Tea Leaf Green reminds us at every turn just how alluring rock n roll can be. Tea Leaf Green consistently delivers mind bending live performances to their loyal and ever-growing fan base. Nightly, the band explores the depths of their prodigious songbook, taking everyone along for an exhilarating ride. In a few short years, these road warriors have built a strong following, consistently filling venues across the country and becoming a warmly received, go-to band on the festival circuit with stand-out performances at Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, 10K Lakes, and The Echo Project, among others. The bands chops earned the respect of their contemporaries and they have shared the stage with The Dave Matthews Band, Trey Anastasio, Govt Mule, Bruce Hornsby, John Popper, Bob Weir, Sean Lennon and many others. Experience Tea Leaf Green for yourself...and enjoy the journey.

- Tom Petty, Wildflowers
Some pretty autumn colors and a little alikeh. This has been a ridiculously productive week. That also means it's been ridiculously busy. My eyes feel strained from so much editing. But it's a good kind of a busy and a good kind of strained. And tonight I get to go burn off some of my frustration over landlord issues at soccer.
Now if only I can start getting some writing squeezed into the mix, everything will feel perfect.

Its good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give em a smile
Its good to get high, and never come down
Its good to be king of your own little town
Yeah the world would swing if I were king
Can I help it if I still dream time to time
And you thought your job was hard?
P.S. Be sure to check out the group Spotlight Seven, where some of my portraits have been featured this week with a short interview. Thanks to Smoothdude for taking notice of my work!
Happy birthday to the amazing Tom Petty!

I remember
Us walkin'
Down an old dirt road
I remember
Down by the old graveyard
Oh, and the sky was blue
And the wind was hot
And you looked so good
Yeah, and I gazed into
Your mystic eyes...

# 9 on my top 1000 list is Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." Despite the complete lack of any evidence whatsoever for my position, I'm absolutely convinced this song is about the Confederate General John Bell Hood. Stephen Vincent Benet characterized Hood as "all lion, none of the fox."
Hood, a Kentuckian and later an adopted Texian, barely graduated from West Point in 1853, having accumulated 196 of the 200 permissible demerits. When the Civil War began, he joined the Confederacy and rapidly became a brigadier general (in 1862). He immediately began quarreling with his superior officers (once being arrested for insubordination).
Hood was apparently a hottie. Mary Chestnut, the famous Confederate diarist, described him as "a beau-ideal of the wild Texans. He is tall, thin, and shy; has blue eyes and light hair; a tawny beard, and a vast amount of it, covering the lower part of his face, the whole appearance that of awkward strength. Some one said that his great reserve of manner he carried only into the society of ladies."
Despite the huge chip on his shoulder, Hood rapidly rose in the Confederate Army, an organization in which aggression was prized over judgment. At Gettysburg, an artillery shell cost him the use of his left arm for the rest of his life. Only two months later, while leading a charge at the Battle of Chickamauga, Hood was severely wounded and his right leg was amputated above the knee.
These grievous wounds didn't prevent John Bell from proposing marriage to a Charleston, South Carolina hottie (she begged off) or from being promoted to commanding general for the Confederate forces defending against Sherman's March through Georgia.
After Sherman methodically destroyed Hood's forces arrayed in defense of Atlanta, the ever-aggressive (though missing an arm and a leg) Hood decided that he would take his army and invade the North!
Strategically, this was insanity, since the federal troops at Nashville and central Tennessee vastly outnumbered Hood's troops.
No matter. Hood attacked the numerically superior Yankees at the battles of Franklin and Nashville -- where his Confederate army was systematically eliminated. His army effectively ceased to exist, losing 23,000 of his original 38,000 soldiers. This was the death blow to the Confederacy, which no longer had any realistic chance of winning the Civil War after Hood let its western army be destroyed.
After the Civil War, the crippled Hood married and had 11 children. He, his wife, and his oldest son died in the yellow fever epidemic of 1879 -- leaving behind 10 orphan children.

Back to the 21st century, these are the lyrics to Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down."
Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down.
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down
[Chorus:]
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down
Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
No, I won't back down
"“It's very easy to be cynical about the hall of fame.
But on the other hand, it's really a beautiful thing for someone like me.
I dedicated my entire life to this music."
(Tom Petty - American Guitarist and Singer, b.1950)
