This Quote was taken from the movie " Coach Carter" ..It has become one of the most important quotes in my life..it is my hope that it ignites the spark of genius creativity within and illuminates the flame of your magnificence always !!
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't
feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do.
It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own
lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the
same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
Just click on the button and enjoy some great music.Dedicated to all my Vox pals.
Her incredible flair for the igniting the human soul in every portrait is second only to her innate ability to encapsulate the sense of their achievements of their moment in time.
With every brush stroke she has immortalized some of the greatest individuals of our time ..as well as some of the most beautiful people I ever seen from the inside out. Be it the girl next door..a long lost mother or a dear friend. She has given me the highest honor..through her eyes I have been able to see the beauty in everything.

You know how you hear a really catchy tune and for the whole bloody day you just cant get that song out of your head?
Well, have you ever wondered if that happens to animals? I mean we do it why cant they.This morning I got up around 6.30 as usual and went out into the frosty morning air to greet mother earth as i usually do.And as i was standing there amazed at the perfection of it all a beautiful little bird came into my view and perched itself on the highest branch on the top most point of a tree in front of my home.
At first i didnt think much of it because it happens every morning..to be honest I get the feeling its my best friend who past away years ago who drops in on me to see how im doing..believe me if you have seen the magical events i have seen in my life you would understand. Anyway like i said ,I didnt think much of it ,I just stood there in my own world humming a song that was stuck in my head, as i was about to sing a vague and feeble shower induced rendition of the chorus, when the strangest thing happened..the bird whistled the notes to the chorus!! I know I know ..it sounds like er...ok herbs, how did grandpas cough medicine taste this morning ! or did you have one hell of a night the night before? Had it have not happened to me I would have thought the same thing until, My wonderful wife who had just stepped out to join me said " Did you hear that..sounded like that bird just sang the chorust to " All that she wants"! That is exactly what i was singing. Anyway,it kind of got me thinking if we do it why cant they,after all they got ears and these songs play all the time .
So the next time your taking your dog for a walk and it sounds alarmingly like he or she just barked the chorus to 2 " Who let the dogs out" it might be a good idea to sing along..My advice to all is to be selective about what you let your pets and visiting garden friends are listening to. Personally ,this summer im going to play alot of Bob marley and Mariah Carey, Simply because i would like to hear their versions of Stir it up and practically and song from Mariah..Ah the wonders of the N.W.N.R (Natures wireless network Radio) ..Have a wonderful day people ,have a wonderful day.
SONG OF THE DAY .....JOE " ALL THAT I AM"
After YEARS of confusion,
years of trying to look back into my past and figure out things that had ultimately made little or no sense to me as to the outcome of my present. I have finally figured out something so fantastic that it has given me a true "AH HA " moment and as i am so great-full for this acute yet oh so important revelation,.
I will not bore you with the details of my precious "Ah Ha" moment ( I will save that for my book) But , I have some incredible advice for all of you incredibly talented and gifted members of this wonderful world of music.
You see , Music is like an amazingly beautiful and unfathomably devoted woman ,Her love for your attention to her reaps treasures of untold beauty and riches both physically and spiritually, within those moments of bliss, within those bursts of of absolute creativity, we become like new born babies taking our first steps happy to fall without a care in the world , unsuspecting of anyone or anything we over look the fact that the world around us sadly is not as trusting as we are, not so forgiving as she is and can in many instances so filled with envy and greed that they are just waiting to rip the very fabric of your existence right out from under you.
They call it .."just
business " the total disregard for all moral fiber has been watered
down to this the corniest most meaningless cliche of them all " Just
business ".
It matters not that you would have stuck your fingers in the socket of a 200v plug if you thought it would make
the vibe right. Neither would it mean as much to your faithful predators if you had an attack of uncontrollable diarrhea
and had to finish your amazing compositions with a wine bottle cork to assist.
No
to them your hard work is nothing more than " Just Business " and if
they just happen to take everything you have including your identity
well hey ..you guessed it "Its just buisness"
Ah but you see
this is far as you know the way of the world , survival of the
slickest , but you would be wrong ...You see music breeds a family
atmosphere, be it rock ,pop or straight up thug life ,it gives birth to
a an atmosphere that brings people together no matter what genre , age
group , sect or denomination. This is also true about the creative
process of making music. Be aware that there are many who do not do
music for the admiration and love of her coolness . Some are not
seeking to catch the glide in her stride or the dip in her hip. And
believe it or not like nature she has a way of weeding them out and
getting ride of them where they just do not belong. Like minded people
will always find like minded people and before to long ..they end up
bumping into each other and canceling each other out.
Now even
though this process will not happen over night and you will probably
feel weak and beaten and to you its just not worth it anymore , know
this...YOU ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY FOOL WHO THINKS THAT IT TAKES AN
IDIOT TO WRITE A MASTER PIECE !!!
Just like a mother who finds superhuman strength to lift a wrecked car to save her child. Its NEVER "just business"..
Its
your input ,your hard work being added to His-Story . Let those who
would envy you , envy you for the right reasons. Hold your head up and
be proud to take your place in this great chapter of music and your
existence.
Good guys do finish last true but, they always finish with class and with the right lady on their arm..feel me?
Celebrate the coolness in you..Never give in to your ego ,there in lies your downfall and the jaws of greed are hungry my friend..very hungry. Find the glide in yo stride and your dip in your hip and share it with the ones you know and love ,cos in doing so you share it with lady music and that my friends ...makes you priceless.
Here endeth the lesson .
HEY
Can you say I LOVE MY LIFE..Not your job your car your wife?? Not your new fangled mobile phone
with all its new features including how to show you how to get home , Should in-case you get lost on along the way??
I mean ...Can you say " I LOVE MY LIFE".
Think !!! when was the last time the sense of touch blew your mind..REALLY!!
When was the last time the sense of taste really made you say " My God..that was awesome" and not " To hot..need water.. now!""
When was the last time you looked up at the sky and had an a feeling that one can only compare to that by gone days fantasy all growing lads have of that incredible buxom bombshell and her wicked ways ..ah yes, the dream that you will one day come to realize, can only be experienced when the molten lava of the underworld has been subject to a climatic and atmospheric change of sub zero temeratures, Back to a fantasy that always seemed to end with a cigarette and while whisper in your ear " Was as good for you as it was for me ? "
Can you remember the last time the feeling of absolute excitement sent you into uncontrollable fits of laughter and joy or the last time you put on a stupid hat or a pair of rollerskates?
What was the color of the last pair of rollerskates that you wore??
If you like so many of us have lost our way ,then I am here to tell you..there is no better way home than the key that I am offering you ...ready??
OK ..here goes.
Just say it !!! I LOVE MY LIFE !!!
Is That It??
I hear that sarcastic tone from people all the time. Yet it is amazing how easy it is to silence the nay sayers by simply asking them to say it 3 Time out loud. Try it if you do not believe me.
You see we are what we eat and we are what we speak . The energies that surround our lives are created by our own intake and out look on life ,So if your mantra becomes I LOVE MY LIFE instead of I HATE MY JOB or I HATE MONDAYS its is only obvious that your life perspective will begin to shift ...for the positive.
No this NOT a NEW AGE theory its my observation and applied attitude to life..Hey practice what you preach right?.
Look I have nothing to gain by offering this key you and you have all the time in the world to either try it or not. But if you do pass it on to someone else . WE ARE NOT HEAR TO LET LIFE PASS US BY .
Think of it this way..in a world where everything costs or is on sale at the ever so annoying concept of always ending in 99 cents or 99 pence or 99 what ever!! In an place where everything has a price tag and and ad that says its free for the simple installments of blah blah blah !! This will cost you nothing !! NO MONEY DOWN ,NO FREE TRIAL
NO 30 DAYS OR YOUR MONEY BACK and most of all NO SMALL PRINT SIDE EFFECTS!!
Its all up to you..and all you have to say is on personal affirmation 3 times out loud to your self .
But please be warned.Although their are no small print side effects,there are however some adverse effects. I have placed a few below that I have experienced and hope that these will help you understanding that while strange at first ,they are quite normal
1, Extreme joy
2.Out bursts of laughter and involuntary smiling
3.Color and light recognition increases
4.Increase in sensual perception ( plus an incredible urge regain your youth with your spouse)
Remember ..you my friends are priceless and there will never be another you on this planet..make it a good on2
We are all born with wings. Some learn to fly quicker than others but we ALL have wings. This I have come to believe as a fact and have met many an angel in my time. None more so than the millions of people who have found joy in the on going dance of life i share with that beautiful lady we call on in times of need, be it a touch of Barry White to set the mood or a dose of Limp Bizkit to let off some steam.
She has always been there for us tending to our hearts and wounds, that lady called music. Music is the true language of the soul, the universal language (ask Mr Spielberg why he chose 5 tones in close encounters..).But without the constant dedication of the people, the true meaning of love or music would be wasted and fruitless. So to all of you out there, Thank you for listening and dont worry, there are still some of us out there who still believe music is an art and not a business. THIS MEANS THAT THIS PAGE IS NOT ABOUT ME.. ITS ABOUT YOU!!!!!
And all for those who keep asking ..YES THIS THE REAL HERBIE CRICHLOW... And if you know me you will know that thas not the point...this is about you..right here,right now. BY POPULAR DEMAND.
A Few Days ago a dear friend of mine asked me to explain a little about the mysterious music industry and how it works in relation to advances ,money management and your basic run of the mill honesty...so here is what i said to him and i hope it makes sense enough to all of you !!!
Advance means borrow my friend nothing more and nothing less. It give
the major labels the opportunity to lasso ridiculous and in many
instances unfounded and outlandish rules and binding legalese that few
understand. It wraps the Artist up and into a cold world of ultimately
15 minutes of fame and a lifetime of debt. What the majors need to do
is the same as the Movie studios. Stop robbing hard working dedicated
writers and artists alike .
When you really look into how all these cooporations have been making income over the years and one realizes just how underpaid and miss understood the writers and artist really are. Trapped in between entertainment lawyers ,agents, management ,over priced for practically every aspect of the making of their works for regional or international purposes and people who seem to have the misconception that they are above the law, It then becomes apparent that the ends truly justifies the means.
You cant fool all the people all the time and people the world over are fed up with being fooled. Who really cares what robbie williams got in advance. He got it because of his huge sales and downloads and dvd sales and performance royalties exct from his last albums. Which means he is in a sense borrowing his own income.
which had he have not done adeal like that,he would otherwise may never have seen his full worth and generated income for all his hard work. Make no mistake he is worth it. Its a tough world out there ..even tougher when your profession is as honest and as forthright as trying to get milk out a full grown belgian bull.
Hats off to Annie Lennox and all major
artists who have now got the freedom to handle their own careers and
generate their own income at their own choiced decision with whom ever
they choose to be affiliated with independent of over pricing and pric
gouging . Hopefully this will regain the general publics faith in music
once again and the entertainment industry can once again flourish as a
place of freedom shared wealth and great creativity
Over the years ,I have been blessed and fortunate enough to have worked with and for some of the most incredibly talented artists in the world today .. Here are just a few of these amazing people and the works we have created . Be sure to check them out as I am sure they will bring back so fond memories of great times gone by,or hopefully will invoke emotions that will make your day. So check em out ...smile and Have a wonderful day!!
