"Homelessness in America is a Terrible Tragedy. It can happen to anybody and did to the guy in my song called "Homelessness...Livin' Under A Bridge". Check out my song about Homeless Vets called "Just Another Hero Living on the Streets"..We Can Do Better! I was homeless for just a few days year ago and it was a Life Shattering experience that I stays with me even today.... It has shaped me as a songwriter. I try and tell the stories of Life in America .."

"If you've never been Homeless you can't imagine how bad it is. It can be a life changing experience. I was homeless for only a few days and then had to stay on a friends couch for awhile....I've never been the same. I NEVER feel safe. This song is about ONE man's Journey from Normal to living in the park under a bridge. I got very depressed watching Pictures from Sandy....It doesn't matter how you become homeless, just that you ARE. There are Thousands of people in New York and New Jersey....Kids, Old people and families that have no home and no life. A lot of these people will wind up living under a bridge... PLEASE.... if this song Affects you the way I think it will....Donate to the Red Cross. NOBODY SHOULD EVER BE HOMELESS. Everybody needs a place to lay their heads down at night and to feel Safe!...

"Vietnam War Disaster & Its Heroes:
So many died and were mutilated in the Vietnam War and was all for nothing.
Johnson and MacNamara both said it was a mistake and Nixon who was elected with a PLAN to end the stinking war did it but it took four years....(ugh;)
All that's left is some Old Vets and a LOT of Memories and Names on a Wall in Washington DC....For Shame.....THEY Lied and Boys Died".

Our Soldiers go and fight these Pathetic Wars for GREED and then come home to NOTHING.
This song is dedicated to these Homeless Men and Women. We are going to use a good portion of any money we make to help them!!!

As Butler will say in his song "Wall Street is flying, but Main Street is dying "..
This song is about the Plight of the Middle Class in America..
