Mama said knock you out

ok so it wasn't a knock out....but decisive to say the least for John Kerry....

cubs are pretty much lost for the season...had a tough day dealing with that one....

been working on a new tune which has been helping me get through the day...and kerry doing as well as he did...that helped.....

found the original demo of wall i must climb in a drawer today....should use that as a contest winner or something...its pretty cool...different... glad koppelman had the insight to see through its rawness....

might have a new gig at the field museum..day after thanksgiving i think....at the opening of jackie kennedy's clothing exhibit...which, as a kennedy fanatic...is pretty f#*&in cool..... aw to have jack back would be something huh?

a friend of mine said tonights debate was like... herman munster vs. Otis campbell
pretty funny....

God bless us all,

north korea and haiti

can we all say a silent prayer for the children of north korea....hundreds of thousands of children live on muddy streets or in hostiles completely ignored by their government....essentially the government quarantines them in these hostiles so they can die....the pick crumbs out of mud to eat...bugs...human body parts...anything they can get their hands on....

and for the people of Haiti....geez they can never catch a break can they....?

its all our blood...they are all our brothers and sisters....send them some light....

and of course for the cubs.... magic number is 6.......

God bless you all.....

spring grove

so dominique( bass player with me,,singer of drag..see link) is in illinois doing a movie...slasher film and they are filming in spring grove which is up by round lake, gurnee, fox lake...went up there yesterday to the set and it was pretty fascinating watching a movie being made...the tedium was overwhelming...i've done some video shoots and those are boring to...but thats for a four minute song...a whole movie...sheesh..the director or producer, not sure which asked if i wanted to be in the bar scene...just as an extra or something ....i said, " sure...love to"...will letcha know how that goes....gotta say i was getting creeped out on the set....so i'm guessing the filming will be twice as creepy...
had a dream i was on the phone with George W...last night.,..went quite well...he took to my idea's better than i thought he would...seemed like a nice reasonable man....course..then i woke up.....
go cubs....hope they can recover from the debacle of yesterday....

ashes to ashes

"sometimes you gotta destroy before you can rebuild".....not sure who said it but..." amen" so welcome everybody,..to yet another incarnation of the mcdermott circus...hope you dig the new site....
a few changes have been made....Gregg Bell my dear friend and manager of several years is no longer with us...i'd like to thank him for everything he has done...we will remain dear friends...but unfortunately our working relationship has come to an end....I love him dearly and always will.

the woman who introduced me to Gregg,..Dawn Maze is taking over the operations of management.
Digital one who provided (at no cost to me) the previous website...have parted ways with us and i'd like to thank them for the opportunity they provided me....

Personally,..i'm going through some changes myself..but until i feel a little more comfortable in this new room or "ours" i'll keep those to myself...

I will tell you that we have a new record coming out in the next couple months that i am thrilled about....something unlike anything i've done in the past...more to come...stay tuned...

The website still has a few tweaks and i'd like to hear any and all feedback that you have...its still in its embryonic stages so there is still time to tinker with it....we will have the discussion board up soon and the contact thing figured out very soon....

first debate is in less than a week....how psyched am i.....should be fascinating....doncha think??

thanks to my new home out in philly you made the two sold out shows....a dream come true.....my most sincere thanks...see y'all in december at the new world cafe live...with the band..i will be doing some solo shows leading up to that...boston, ny, pitts i think...

i'm grateful and humbled by your support....God bless you...God bless you all....peace is possible,
