Fred Aiken Writing

i made a resolution to re-learn how to play the guitar
this year,
because i had learned when i was 13 and wanted to be in a rock band
and tour the world,
particularly japan,
and also as a way to get out of serving in the iraq war,
as if the example of elvis presley didn’t mean anything,
though there were quite a few things that differentiated elvis and myself;

for one,
i have no musical talent, and very little motivation,
and for two,
there’s no draftnowadays
