I don’t know what the world may need,
but I’m sure as hell that it starts with me
And that’s a wisdom,
I have laughed at.
I don’t know what the world may want,
but a good stiff drink it surely don’t,
So I think I’ll go and fix myself a tall one.
‘Cause what the world needs now
is a new kind of tension,
‘Cause the old one just bores me to death.
Cause, what the world needs now,
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.
I don’t know what the world may need,
but a V8 engine’s a good start for me.
Think I’ll drive to find a place to be surly.
I don’t know what the world may want,
but some words of wisdom could comfort us
Think I’ll leave that up to someone wiser.
‘Cause, what the world needs now
are some true words of wisdom
like “La La La La La.”
‘Cause, what the world needs now
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.
I don’t know what the world may need,
and I never grasped your complexities—
I’d be happy just to get your attention.
I don’t know what the world may want,
but your long, sweet body lying next to mine
could certainly raise my spirits.
‘Cause what the world needs now
is a new Frank Sinatra
so I can get you in bed.
‘Cause what the world needs now
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.

See, the 90’s did produce a song worthy of play…
I know I’m getting older… cuz they don’t make music like this any longer. Talent.
And you thought you knew the truth about Solyndra.
Take the time and watch this excellent interview and you will learn something powerful.
We have seen the worst. We are at the bottom. We may hug along the bottom for a while, but we are at the bottom. People think housing is terrible, but the early indicators tell you a lot about where it will be in 18 months or so. Supply and demand are rapidly coming in balance. Renting is now more expensive than buying in half of America. We’re adding 3 million Americans a year. In the next 10 years, we have 30 million more Americans. Those 30 million Americans are going to need 15 million homes, or something like that. Household formation has gone so low. You had kids move back home — and, yes, by the way, it doesn’t work for them, either. And household formation we think will have to go close to a million and a half. Once it goes to (that), housing construction will probably have to go up to a million and a half. Two million jobs, and all this shadow inventory stuff will be getting better, not worse. And it’s the rate of change which is important, not the absolute level.

Growing up, I was coached by my Dad in all my little league sports. I think one of the toughest times for my Dad was when I entered high school and he could no longer be my coach. Over the past 25 years, I’ve had a very successful, decorated elite level, athletic career, competing in Football, Bodybuilding and Triathlon. And as I reflect back on all those very early days of practices and sacrifices my dad made, I realize now talent or no talent, I wouldn’t have been half as successful, had it not been for my Dad. So here we are 30 years later and my Dad started training with me at the club. I am preparing to race a couple of Triathlons and this season my Dad is going to be one of my coaches. How? By just showing up.
