I've neglected my blog for over a year. For shame. As a blogger, I FAIL miserably. In my defense, I've been spending my spare time in the studio working on music -- no time to blog. The song is called Hurtin' for Certain and was intended as a soundtrack, of sorts, to his hilarious Blog Wars post. And of course, for my first post in over a year, I figured it would be a good idea to piss off all the members of our two local forums . . . and Billy. :) Hurtin’ for Certain I am just yer average boy Raised in Central Illinois Searchin’ for enlightenment somewhere I am just yer typical guy The night-life barely gets me by I can feel Peoria’s despair Cause they be hurtin’ for certain over there So, I went down to PDC Them Neocons, all gun crazy To get myself some Kool-Aid that they drink But I can’t seem to get along Them right-wing nuts just can’t be wrong You’d think that Rush Limbaugh lived over there Man, they were hurtin’ for certain They be hurtin’ for certain They were hurtin’ for certain over there Man, we all gotta put our faith in somethin’ sometimes, but Rush Limbaugh sure ain’t it. Now, go reward yerself with a cold, delicious beer. Now we’re talkin’! I clicked on PeoriaSpeaks To hit that bong with them hippie freaks All them girls got flowers in their hair And all them dudes, they got no jobs They whine all day on liberal blogs Spreadin’ Commie bullshit everywhere And they were hurtin’ for certain over there So, I went down to Billy’s site Man, all them typos can’t be right Where the fuck did that dude learn to write? He steals his crap from PJ Star From your friends’ blogs you will be barred If you leave a comment he can’t bear ‘Cause they were hurtin’ for certain They were hurtin’ for certain They were hurtin’ for certain over there Everybody now They were hurtin’ for certain They were hurtin’ for certain They were hurtin’ for certain over there
I still read blogs regularly. In fact, one of my favorite bloggers, Cameron -- over at Get the Stink Off -- inspired my most recent song. His post, "(Blog) Gang Wars," was so entertaining that I was forced to make like a Bollywood movie and bust out in song.
Without further ado . . .

I have missed your blog...
Love the song!!
I prefer to be called a hippie chick if you don't mind.
Duuuuuuuude!! far oooooooooouuuuut!!
I confess to being an old Hippie Chick! ::adjustingflower::
Great tune.... now how do I get it on my IPod??
Yeah, I'm with EMERGE on this one. Hippy Chick for sure, but you already did that song. Anyway, nice to finally see a blog post and the bonus? It comes with a song! Brick WINS Wednesday!!!
Ah yes. Hippy Chick is on your MySpace page, first song:

This is great, Kevin. It's right up there with such classics as The Howie Dance and Hippie Chick!
BRAVO! BRAVO! Great tune! We have to sing that at the next party!
That is effin awesome :) Welcome back to the blogosphere. Especially the Billy part, too good. Did you provide links to PDC and Billy?
Thanks for the accolades, everyone. I'm honored, for sure. And it feels great to finally make another entry to my neglected blog. I'll see y'all again in about a year and a half! (No, actually, I'll try to blog a few times per month.)
Kate, Flam and Rix: Thanks again, I'll have to teach this song to Ric, Circus Monkey, and Howie -- then we can perform it live at our next bash :)
Emerge and Themis: yes, I too prefer calling people Hippie Chicks - it's a much more positive tag. The Hippie Chick song is also more forward-looking, in a retro kind of way.
M.A.W.B: there's a link at the bottom of the post that reads, "Download here." Right click on the "here" link, and then choose "Save target as" or "Save Link As," which will allow you to save the mp3 to your computer - then you can transfer it to your IPod.
Cameron: Thanks for the post that helped inspire this whack tune. No, I haven't shared the link with anyone else. Billy's pretty good about finding stuff on his own; and PDC probably won't allow any post that contains subject-matter involving PeoriaSpeaks.com (. . . and that wraps up our "Strange-but-True" segment for the day). But, feel free to pass it along.
I totally smell a children's album no?
Do you sing around Peoria? You rock. : )
Bong? Bong? where?
Love the tune! Lyrics are great.
I am so impressed! What a great song. Honestly, I'd enjoy it (the tune, vocals, etc) even if I had no clue what you were talking about.
I noticed in the credits Howie provided the REAL inspiration. When is the first practice?
Super job, Kevin. As always, you got the talent, my man.
OMG! This is hilarious! Thanks for a great laugh...
-from a gun-toting camera chick at one of those forums *lol* ;)
Way cool, you sound allot like Tom Petty! Downloaded ty for the laugh !
KEVIN! You have been missed!!!!
Awesome song! I cracked up...major!
Yeah...I got that hippie thing goin on too, I suppose.
KEEP BLOGGING!!!!
PEACE OUT, dude.
:o)
