INNOCENT

Oh, johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement
With lennon and cobain and
A guitar and a stereo

And while he wishes he could escape this
But it all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
And a song that has no soul

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

Oh, I dreamed of losing faith and what she knows
And some music hits on the foreclose
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
And the galleries of war

And while she wishes she was a dancer
And that shed never heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

One day, youll have to let it go
Youll have to let it go
No...
One day, youll stand up on your own
Youll stand up on your own

Remember losing hope
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are (one day), we are all innocent
We are all innocent (youll have to let it go)
We are, we are (youll have to let it go, no..)

We are (one day), we are all innocent
We are, we are (youll stand up on your own)
We are, we are all innocent (youll stand up on your own..)

We are, we are all innocent

My Drum Corps adventures this summer were wonderful! Really made my summer!

Now about the DC experience!

Highlights: 1) Seeing Matt Hopson and Nick Mennecke for the first time in at least 8 years. What a neat connection it is to have Drum Corps in common. You feel like everyone else in the world is an outsider... I love it. It's a community in itself. Thank you guys if you ever read this. I had a great time! I went to Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Six Flags Over Texas along with three Drum Corps Shows in Texas with Matt... and in Indy, Nick showed me the essence of being gay - pure enjoyment all the time. What a great guy! Sure would make a great catch for anybody!
2) Taking in the Drum Corps experience from an outsider's perspective, especially during rehearsal - you really get to see the hard work that goes into rehearsals but you don't quite feel it I don't think. As I sat back, drank some sweet tea and was sweating in the shade, the Cavaliers practiced some excellent pieces of their show - it was excellent. And to hear the hornline jamming out THRILLER... funny! And so cool. And to watch the Blue Stars rehearsing, to hear Frank Sullivan's voice over the megaphone and not have to raise my hand or pay 130% attention, was frankly a bummer. I really enjoyed spending time with Dooley watching rehearsal and going to Chipotle for dinner with his gramma (who is SO cool by the way).
3) The Blue Stars Ballad- powerful and touching even to the people who never went to war, or never felt the kind of pain to send others to war.. their intro had Pure Pulsating Power and Poignant Patriotism...
4) Crown's Introduction- BOX 5

Surprises: 1) Boston Crusaders - where did you come from!!! Almost as good as 2000. Great comeback this season!
2)SCV was only OK.
3) Blue Devils swept everyone else away, but it would have been wonderful and an even bigger surprise if Crown had WON!

Overall, it was wonderful. I loved Texas (all the chicken restaurants and all the mexican food (Tamales, burrito's, tacos, chips and Queso - not con queso I guess).. I loved the nightlife in Indianapolis... first time at a gay bar.. let me tell you HOW FUN IT WAS! Didn't have to worry a thing about anybody hitting on me.. it was wonderful... so perfect.

THANK YOU DRUM CORPS for coming into my life before I was ever born... You are a huge part of my heart and my soul.

p.s. I love to dance and sing!
