THE MUSIC'S NO GOOD WITHOUT YOU

the majority of SHe-mails i get ask : when will i have new music available. well, the answer is soon ... i hope. i recorded seven new tracks last year, but they never saw the light of day because of a few professional setbacks. as of this writing, i'm about eight inches away from inking an agreement for new representation and hopefully that will rectify my absence from the dj booth. there are a few european releases on the horizon that i'm very excited about, but, in the meantime, the audience in knoxville, tn. will get a sneak preview of my new music on friday night, when i perform "are you man enough (to be my man)" and "i need more". let me take the time now to say that i am eternally grateful that y'all care about my music career and that you anticipate my next creative outing. i mean, you don't have to be a recording artist to realize how tough it is to get the support of a major (or minor) record label or to even get your shit played on the radio. look at mariah, the biggest selling female recording artist in history, and she couldn't get support at radio for her latest album. it's really weird, the whole hit or miss / hot and cold aspect of show business, because if half of the people who've ever bought a mariah record, would have also bought a ticket to see "critter", it would have been a blockbuster. what happened to all those fans ? did they stop caring ? i don't understand it. i'm what you might call a true blue fan. if i'm into someone i'll buy whatever they put out, even if it's crap. maybe that's the loyal scorpio in me, or maybe it's just crazy stupid. when i was in new york last month, i bought a new u.k issued compilation called "the very best of diana ross". i paid thirty dollars for an album that had only one song i didn't already own. i don't want praise for that act. that's just how i am. i love diana ross. the good, the bad and the ugly. so the fact that y'all still give a rats ass about my music career, impresses the fuck out of me. rock on, ladykins ! i'm coming out !
