I know how it feel when you never gotten your fair chance to see satriani live in concert, , to tell you the truth? Maybe you can pair up into group rates someday instead buying individual tix, it is much cheaper to go as in groups instead chipping in on individual tix.

As for not being able to find a good job over the months? I can suggest that you can try enroll into your local community college to get a certificate on whichever courses you want to take, once you complete your college goals? you can easily find a career making big bucks per month, but it won't be easy either, because nothing is guarantee in life, hope this help.

Received my free download of Joe's new song, Light Years Away.

Awesome song. I hoped the entire album would have downloaded, but for now, 1 is enough.

Great work.

Joe...you have done it again...Light years away...it's a great big "Kick Ass" jam...You've combined the great studio quality with the full jam sound...I love it....

Just as long as nobody misunderstands me, I have a pretty good life considering. It's the way that the economy is affecting my family. And now that I'm directly involved in it, because I need a job, it really gets to me. I mean, it just absolutely amazes how bad things are right now because of one of the worst presidents ever.

The American Dream is to work, make a living, and raise a family. I'm not even close to raising a family. But anyway, I want to be able to make myself money so I don't have rely on my parents and I can take some of the burden off their shoulders so it's not so hard for them. But how the hell am I supposed to do that if I can't get a damn job?! No job means The American Dream goes right out the window. And this is a reality to so many people in America now.

It's like saying "Okay, only half of you in this room are allowed to have hopes and dreams, and the rest of you aren't, because we told you so."

I'm sorry about another rant. When I start talking about a subject I can't stop.

Now back to the main thing. I just want to help my parents out by providing for myself. I just angers me that there is nothing I can do but wait for somebody to give me an e-mail saying "You're hired". Or something of that nature.

And let me tell you. Time and Money are not friends of mine. I'll let Pink Floyd do the talking.

Still a little pissed that I can't go to the concert. But I'm getting over it. It's not like I saw the tickets and I really wanted to go. Oh no. That's not the story at all. I've been wanting to go to a concert since I saw Satriani LIVE! when I bought it a little over a year ago. To my misfortune, I became a fan right after the end of the PSATMOR tour. So technically I'll be a fan for four years and not have been to one of his concerts.

I have to be one of the weirdest Satch fans you have ever heard of.

And from all of the hype, this album, although it hasn't come out yet, is rumored to be one of his best albums in a while.

I've told everybody many times that my favorite album is Crystal Planet. And if this album turns out to be just as good or even better, I will be pissed off even more. Call it bittersweet, but that's what it's going to be. Because I'm not going to be able to see it live.

Oxley - I hear what you're saying and it sounds like economically things are pretty bad in your area. It is also a fact that most people earn their living and achieve their dreams (and buy concert tickets) from working at a paid job. So when jobs are scarce it gets tough. If jobs are in fact scarce then that might be the time to find and exhaust other ways that you can legally earn money. It's harder than getting up and going to a job and going home again, but if there are no jobs at least you can look at finding opportunities and try them. You can't control the government or the economy or the amount of jobs there are but you can control what you do, the actions you take, who you meet and introduce yourself to and so on . Best of luck.

Its our turn for a tour Joe!!

Oxley- Your video was awesome ...Thanks for posting for all of us to enjoy. I am sorry you are discouraged because you can not go to see Joe...I think we have all been in that situation at one time or another due to circumstances beyond our control.

A very few years back I would not have been able to go either due to our financial situation..but due to diligence and hard work & a bit of luck this year we are able to do some things we have always wanted to do . Keep your hope alive.. ..we are fans of one of the most optimistic musicians in the business...look what Joe has achieved with his hard work & dedication. :-)
