Comment:

A mix picked completely by chance, me saying, "well, track 8 on this CD even though I couldn't tell you what it was and then track 9, track 5, 2 18, etc." and I am excited how it turned out. I decided it needed a story to go with it. It is about a man, a musician, who leaves his lovin woman on Lake Michigan to pursue the good life in LA that everyone has told him he needs to pursue. He gets to LA and loves it. He works hard to everyone's approval and gets some success and meets a newer faster woman; riding on cloud 9. He then get's involved in heavy drinking and drugs with her and makes some great music, but he feels something is wrong with his life. Coming from the midwest, he is also tunred off by the fakeness of the Hollywood music lifestyle. He misses home and his old lady but is in deep with addiction and needing to pump out music to pay for it. He then becomes suicidal and comes next to doing it and is called out of the blue by his Michigan lady and she brings him so much joy that he realizes what a mistake he made leaving her, following dreams his friends and family drilled into his head, and the movie ends with him in a sad state, writing songs of love and loss in LA subjegated by his drug addiction into the bloody LA sunset (not a very Hollywood ending I know).
