Self-Sufficient Living in NZ

I am American. However - I do not necessarily enjoy America. I am not proud of what we do nowadays and I find no real niche to claim in society besides playing music that I believe people might listen to. This is for all you...

Ceasing the Day

Bonjonner @Bonjonner (24) • United States 10 Nov 07

Do we as Americans, or just humans in general, really cease the day? Are we taking what we're given or must we go on creating our own worseless gizmos? Sure, the human mind has invented so many vastly complicated, and...

Bonjonner barehugs - you do not live life to the fullest. You go to work, then you come home. You go to work, then you come home. You drink the same cup of coffee every morning, and the amount of money you probably make isn't even anything to write home about....

Are you a Brands Snob? Do you care about brands when you buy?

LightninStrike @LightninStrike (5915) • Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 10 Nov 07

Bonjonner dave is my man. He plays the guitar like a drum and his best album is Under the Table and Dreaming. "So Much to Say" and "What Would You Say" are the hits for me.

Bonjonner agreed. We don't have the money like the Western teams do. And besides, we already took one championship this year so it wouldn't be a big disappointment. The Pats may go all the way though, their looking damn good.

Sax Change

Bonjonner @Bonjonner (24) • United States 8 Nov 07

Coltrane was a tenor player in the start, made his way to alto to record the better music of his career, and was eventually given a soprano sax by Miles Davis, in which he went on to record songs like "My Favorite Things",...

Bonjonner Whether you want to continue improving your skills or not is a direct result of your genes, and a crucial influence by your environment. If the instruments, music, and fundamentals were available, it may be very possible to spark a talent or ability. You will...

Does anyone believe in God?

dayzz25 @dayzz25 (552) • United States 7 Nov 07

I feel like I'm a good Christian and it seems like in todays society everyone is trying to ban God. I don't understand it and I think the world has gotten evil since we have taking God out of our Country. When did so many people...

Bonjonner Carlin once said that "God is an imaginary friend for adults". I think what he meant was not portraying God as a He, She, or anybody with a particualar image, residence, or function, but to use the word "God" to refer to the divine, or the underlying pattern...

what is the hardest in part playing rock guitar?

devoxandria @devoxandria (33) • China 24 Oct 07

i think the most hardest part in playing guitar is learning arpeggios! what do you think??

rock guitar learning learn solo joe vai yngwie mus

Bonjonner arpeggios are tough, but actually acquiring your own, signature rhythm and attack is a hard thing to actually establish and get down. Anyone can strike the notes, but the way the notes are tied together in time is what makes folks want to dance, and "feel"...

Clean, healthy water

Bonjonner @Bonjonner (24) • United States 7 Nov 07

Isn't it funny how everywhere you go, whatever you do, no one can really trust the water anymore? Or even hiking in the wilderness, hikers "stabilize" and "purify" completely natural mountain water. What is it that scares people...

Dead Heads

What is your favorite GD album and your favorite song on that album? mine would have to be "In the Dark"

5 responses

Bonjonner My favorite album is From the Mars Hotel, and my favorite track off that album would have to be the live version of "Scarlet Begonias". It was 1974 and the Dead was in their prime era.

summer218 @summer218 (197) • United States 28 Oct 07

I remember being about 7 years and begging for a tape recorder for my birthday (yep, I said tape recorder). I wanted one so bad so that I could tape myself singing or interviewing my little brother. My sweet dad bought me a tape...

Bonjonner the first time I heard JT was one Christmas when I was just a young chap. I think it was "Whenever I see Your Smiling Face". I must've been like 6 years old, and it was just heaven from the start. Such a sweet baritone. And he's from Boston too. Go SOX!
