MYSPACE SONGWRITER SCENE

Sometimes the singer/songwriter dudes who add me on Myspace look so creepy I actually click to their profiles. This never yields any good music, but it does make me wonder what Bill Wren, and others like him, might be doing on Myspace, promoting their youthful, bloghouse-oriented music projects. To answer this question, one might read his helpful biography:

The Songs of the Wren
Every bird watcher is familiar with the wren- a songbird that's disseminated extensively over the Northern Hemisphere. The wren is known for the splendid timbre it emits, ascending and plunging in a tuneful array. However, there exists a special type of melodic 'wren' that has migrated from Texas to Michigan- and back again! His name is Bill Wren and he composes exquisite melodies that flow in unbounded fashion from his heart to an ever-growing number of fans. Bill is an award-winning songwriter and musician who enjoys watching others take pleasure in his compositions. This is the story of the flight of one rare Texas songbird- Bill Wren

A Hatchling in Corpus Christi
Bill Wren was born at the US Naval base in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1951. By the time he could walk he was already focused on music. Bill says, “My grandparents took me to a college football game. They took me to see the marching band up close and I was deeply moved… it was then that the spirit of muse entered me.” With his father in the Navy, Bill's family moved often, spending time in California, and settling for a while in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Bill spent his formative years in Ypsilanti, and it would be there that the muses would take a permanent hold on his life as a young, musical “hatchling.”


The part of that whole disaster that is most disturbing for me: "Bill is an award-winning songwriter and musician who enjoys watching others take pleasure in his compositions." Imagine a 57 year old guy (no longer a musical hatchling) writing that setence, about himself, on his myspace. I guess what I'm getting at is:

old guy + acoustic guitar noodeling + myspace + hair jell = sexually sketch
