"Cody sings like a cagey fighter punches; he holds back, waits for his moment,
and then explodes." -No Depression
"It's Cody's workmanlike guitar playing, soaring harmonies
and twang-tinged voice that carry the day. When he sings on City of Destruction
that he's gonna build himself a future, it seems a sure bet he's right"-Performing Songwriter
I'm diggin the new 'blog' post. I woke up this morning to a morning TV program talking about the latest 'wall street journal/myspace presidential poll'...talk about an interesting combination poll, eh? Maybe that's ideal in politics, who knows, but it wreaks of Rupert Murdoch's empire.
I've been playing the singer/songwriter open mic here in Bakersfield, and put up a couple songs from the last 2 sessions on my music player...for FREE! ha.
Yesterday i played like twenty times your music... because i cant be one day without hearing your songs... i think those numbers of"PLAYS OF TODAY" AND REPRODUCCIONS ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT... Your music is an inspiration for me... thanks for it Your far away admirer from Ibiza
From one friend of "Voices of a People's History" to another — Thanks for adding me. ¶ People hear only what they want, so facts alone won't wake them; they need inspiration too. ¶ This world's evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, & murderers — in market, government, or elsewhere — believe we're all separate, motivated only by self-interest, greed, fear. They want us to share that belief. They use it to justify themselves, to keep us apart, to shape the world's political & economic systems, perpetuating war & poverty. Their power comes not so much from cabals as from incessant propaganda that we hardly notice, implicit in the background assumptions of television & newspapers. ¶ But you & I have found a better light inside ourselves & our friends. It's in everyone, if we can just wake them; we're all one flesh & blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor & temporary. Theists and atheists alike, let us sing of our siblinghood. Peace and communication are one subject, not two, and no one can know that subject perfectly until we all do. ¶ The outcome of the ideological struggle is not yet determined, so no one can afford to be just a spectator. Join the movement, if you haven't already: get involved in whatever way feels right for you. We must all learn from one another; each of us knows only part of the song. Question authority. Keep fighting, loving, hoping, singing. Hand in hand, we may still be able to heal this world. ¶ The flag of the USA, once a symbol of democracy & freedom, has now come to stand for plutocracy, consumerism, imperialism. Small flags are being sold in grocery stores, in anticipation of July 4. I'll wear mine upside down. ¶ Peace, love, hope, revolution. More details on my web page. — Eric
