Stuck

Paul Simon explaining how he composed Bridge Over Troubled Water to Dick Cavett.

Paul : “I was stuck there.”
Cavett: “What makes you stuck?”
Paul: “Everywhere I went, led me where I didn’t want to be; so I was stuck.”

– Paul Simon on the Dick Cavett show.

I’m a creative who lives in Canada with my wife, Ms. Tucker, and our awesome kids. I love music, writing, visual arts, and ranting about stuff (also things).

I’ve always been drawn to the less beaten paths.

Over the past while, I’ve been working to step back even more from the status quo while understanding I have to work within it. I have big feels about the state of things and from time to time I post them here.
