Conor McGregor Proved Bruce Lee's Life Philosophy: Applying this philosophy whenever your are having fun with your singer-songwriter sessions could possibly lead you towards becoming serious enough to make other people around you just as happy with your live and recorded performances --- and of course, making money and becoming famous may come next, however, it may take the effort a highly qualified team, so never depend solely on word of mouth, social media or the luck of a draw for the most highly successful lifestyle.

Master Fighter - Enter the Dragon (2/3) Movie CLIP (1973) HD

 First movie that I ever watched at the Southwest Twin Drive Inn, in the Whitehaven area of Memphis, Tennessee, was Enter The Dragon - my father took me to see it -  of course I immediately bought a pair of nunchucks, at Dach Imports in the South Brook Mall, whereby I hit myself in the head several times --- and of course, I discovered that I was no Bruce Lee and never will be. The last movie I saw, at the Southwest, was Purple Rain, with several of my neighbors -- the entire audience stood up and flicked their Bic lighters during a very special part of that movie --- as it turned out, I could actually sing some of those Prince songs damn good, and I still can, and yes I know that I am no Prince either, and never will be, but as it turns out, I am the King of doing my own thing, and that's exactly how I thrive and survive,  especially during my darkest days. So hopefully, you're also doing whatever it takes to find your own voice and message across your lifespan. If you haven't been doing this, then I can help you with overcoming your dilemma and moving on with your life more positivly - not because I am perfect and have done everything right the first time, but because I failed so many times and just happened to realize that I needed to change for the better and that I needed to reach out to a mentor to help me out - simple behavior strategies can help you out right away --- just reach out to me to make a change for the better.

Groningen: The World's Cycling City

  People who want Car Free friendly zones 

right here in Memphis, Tennessee, 

are not going away. 

However, we may take over power 

and implement such plans ourselves.      

David Fullerton reflects on what life was like for many families moving out of Foote Homes Public Housing projects before the demolition.

WOW --- allow me to illustrate the depth of the real problem here: The Foote Homes Public Housing lawn was always mowed down to the quick for decades ---- it caused dusty conditions when it was dry, and massive flooding and run offs whenever it rained ---- and of course, this disturbed the contaminated soil several feet down, especially with on going standing water several feet deep right next to every single building, which also caused black mold to infiltrate the entire complex. A video I made of one residence had black mold on nearly every ceiling in their apartment, especially in the air vents ---- and that same resident also had been digging up the soil for both their indoor plants and also for planting a vegetable garden outside, and they were also broken out in massive whelps all over their body. So to say that no one is affected by contaminated soil or black mold poisoning is a lie. Many other residents are suffering from the same fate in absolute silence, perhaps extremely afraid to speak up due to retaliation from MHA, whose already rolling out their statement of denial and accountability --- Oh, we did not know it was contaminated, but now that we do know, we want to get out ahead of it and solve the problem ---- a problem well known for well over a half century, as there are several toxic waste dumps all over Memphis, especially low grade nuclear waste, as one of those dumps is now leaking in another part of town. Now just allow all this information to soak in and fester in your brain for a while, then perhaps later on, you will finally become pissed off because your tired of being pissed on here in Memphis, Tennessee, 24/7.

Catch The Fire by Victor Brooks

Vic Brooks II --- from the second that I heard his voice, back when we were both attending Whitehaven High School, and then later on as we wrote a few songs together, he always proved to be a truly gifted and talented man.  

Memphis, TN --- Billy Adams of Sun Records: A Tribute to One of the Best Drummers in the Whole World

Billy Adams 

David Fullerton 

I grew up in Memphis, TN in the Whitehaven community --- home to Elvis Presley.   

On my street there was more talent than you could shake a stick at. That is no lie. 

For example, I use to walk down to the Billy Adams house to hang out with his kids.

Of course, none of us young kids, who had visited the Adams home, thought anything about the fact that Billy had played Drums for everybody that was somebody in the music business --- including Elvis. Nor did we know he recorded for Sun Records. 

Besides, it was not like he bragged about his accomplishments, nor did he keep all his awards on the wall.  

I will say one thing for sure: he was a humble man to say the least and he was far more concerned with being a daddy and husband. 

In fact, I only got to know him for three short years. Then, he passed away. But before he passed, he set me straight about the music business.

The things he said were deeper than a wishing well, which got my head down out of the clouds about seeking fame and fortune first instead of loving what I do and doing what I love no matter what the powers that be say otherwise.

Equally important, Billy taught me about working behind the scenes. Like booking major bands and managing major recording artist, such as their day-to-day activities on an international scale --- and all this from the comfort of his humble home.

He let me look though his massive rolodex and hear how he placed important phone calls to all the major music moguls in the business. I was learning from one of the best at an early age.

Believe it or not I had to get a few Ph.D. classes under my belt before I knew as much as ole Billy ever did.

Anyway, I miss this man and so do thousands of others. 

I just want to pay tribute to a special man in my life who made a difference in shaping and developing my world view about the music business. 

Please take notice of the four leaf clover I picked from Billy's front yard on the day he passed away. The clover is next to Billy's obituary notice that I have posted with this note. I have kept this clover all these years to remind me of a good friend and where I come from. 

It's a memory I will always cherish. 

Peace & Love
