SaveLove Music 2012

Just a quick update to authorize linking this blog to the savlove.com website. These last couple of years have substantiated roots that reach back to the days of Woodie Guthrie or Louis Armstrong - the American era when Depression (capital and lower case) was as rife as it is today - but without the modernity.

 These days I am so much less interested in how DNA and meditation reveal inner secrets of one's personal (or our collective) biology and that much more interested in presenting simple messages that everyone can  understand. To find emotional wholeness - to love one's self and others with depth and concern, for example - is a very strong base from which to work on a stronger economy. Job perfomances, shopping addictions, dietary choices and much more can be framed in terms of improved work environments. And music - the notes and phrases of melody providers, to use modern terminology - still plays a vital role in the civilized landscape!  When my latest songs come out, that will be a good thing. Otherwise I'm keeping on with the apartment tour of my catalogue ... refining, tempering, and expanding the spectrum of genres and lyrics that IS the world of John Savlove.

  One last note to complete this update: A singer for the sake of love campaigns his whole life and is never elected to office. The language of love is not bought and sold like the language of law. Rather, free or commodified, it is always there for people's delectation, taken advantage of in ways that are freely diluted by vulgarians of every class and political stripe.
