Blick von der Kandel (1.241 m) in Richtung Freiburg und Rheintal am letzten Sonntagvormittag.
Auch wenn ich im Moment zwei Wochen Urlaub habe, bleibt mir kaum Zeit wegzufahren, da einiges erledigt werden muss. Unter anderem arbeite ich am Artwork für zwei Alben von befreundeten Musikern, die ihr Album jeweils noch dieses Jahr veröffentlichen wollen.
Soundtrack: Tom Petty - Crawling back to you
Ein wunderschönes Stück von seinem Soloalbum "Wildflowers", das ich sehr mag.

I love my dog! She is definitely one good sport! Her modeling fees are very modest.
She works for dog treats! 8-)

# 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)

Into the great wide open,
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open,
A rebel without a clue

I was a mere 12 years old when I got to see Tom Petty perform at Pine Knob. 66 is too young. R.I.P. Tom Petty.
Well she was an american girl
Raised on promises
She couldnt help thinkin that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to...
