      <content:encoded><![CDATA[The thing about writing songs is that it acts like a duck blind, behind which you can hide and feel safer to express yourself. I was watching Mike Tyson on TV last night, he’s got a one man theatrical show about his life. When asked how he was able to talk about himself in such depth and detail without breaking down emotionally – in particular, about the incident when his four year old daughter was tragically killed in a freak accident he said, “it’s not really me up there, it’s a guy playing me.” <h3>Related Entries</h3>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[My name is Rabbi Mordechai Grossfeller and I’ve asked you to come gather in this Beis Midrash tonight to speak about a very troubling phenomenon that is plaguing the Jewish educational system, and by extension, the future of the Mosaic tradition itself. That is, specifically, the tendency of our young people to imitate the customs and mores of ghetto society. Surely, none of us has not seen incidences of our yeshiva buchurim emulating the dubious fashion trend known as "sagging"; whereby, a youth’s trousers are worn below the hipline, oftentimes so low as to reveal the underwear, or heaven forefend, the actual buttocks themselves.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Creativity isn't a skill. It isn't a tool to be marketed or capitalized upon, although it's often highly prized. Think of it like breathing or blood pumping through your veins. It's more like the movement of planets or waves on the ocean then something peripheral to our collective human experience. It exists in all of us, it is a part of all of us. Of course if creativity is so native to human experience why is it in evidence in some much more than others and why does it often feel so distant?]]></content:encoded>

If a hungry lion were running after to us to devour our flesh Marv would be the force that compelled us to flee for our lives. He’s got his hand on the lever the squirts the adrenaline into our bloodstreams and the anxiety into our brains. He’s got such a one-track mind about helping us that he simply hasn’t heard the news: Marv, our lives are not in danger any more so please fu&^ing relax!<h3>Related Entries</h3>

In fact they’re masterworks of searing influence. Marv, (that's the name I give to my internal critic - that voice in my head that keeps me afraid and unwilling to take risks) works with our imaginations and together, they're like a team of brilliant filmmakers in our minds.<h3>Related Entries</h3>

I don’t care if you don’t like candy or even if you don’t like Milky Way bars -just for the moment imagine that you do. Picture that sucker. It’s huge, maybe twelve feet long, three feet wide and two feet tall. It’s laid out on some enormous picnic table and it represents the kind of joy I just described, all chocolate, caramel and pure unfettered creativity. <h3>Related Entries</h3>

The damn thing was everywhere; on the radio, on MTV, in elevators, at clubs, even playing overhead in the frozen foods section of the Red Owl. As fate would have it, a local Minneapolis guy named Steve Greenberg who used to play the drums in a Bar Mitzvah band wrote Funkytown and he told me he wanted to produce a record for me..<h3>Related Entries</h3>
