Back to the Shack
one of the most compelling pieces on Born a Genius, they are all around us. and perhaps you and I could be one too. john grasps the way things really are, love the hook "shopping car joe" terrific song

This is a great song, I wish people would listen to the story and the heart of the matter behind it. Stellar songcrafting and solid lyrical content. Excellent hook on shopping cart joe. john paints a vivid picture of this homeless man, although its one its many so many who are in the situation, some their own doing, some by choice,giving up. some just dealt a bad deal, trying to hold body and soul together..

The Gatekeeper
No on gets this song I guess ,just me, you are missing something special, but no one adds it to their stations worth listening to. someone should pay attention and add this to FEATURED SONGS or what do you think

One of the finest song crafters around, and I have been honored to have promoted John's songs for nearly 6 years, he has such an uncanny ability to convey a message that is topical and timely. funny no one else but me has featured this song at their stations, I wish someone would. When ohn is around the pipeline, (which has been some time ago) he lays it down and tells it how it is, as in his vibrant compelling and well written music. so genuine. nothing contrived in his style. so real, down to earth..and a outstanding performer , his shows are great.

Mystery Too
it is indeed a mystery why, why homeless and destitute. is it choice some are homeless, is it through circumstances beyond their control, is it fair. it is life, life is a mystery. we can never know the answer

MIXED FEELINGS
And now for something to hit the musical sweet spot. A beautiful rich resonance and a 'beating heart' rhythm, throw in a harmonica and rattle shopping trolleys and you get the whole scene. We are so lucky to have talent like John at IMP. We're also lucky to have an amazing 'search' facility to find songs from key words like "shopping"
