From my heart to your eyes, thank you for sharn such a deep, dark, secretive part of yourself with us. Adoration Always. XOWell, that’s a wrap on release week promotion for Born and Raised. It’s so phenomenally weird to wake up this morning at home and not in the back of a bus somewhere. On the bright side, releasing this album and getting back in touch with my fans has been something I’ve been waiting to experience for a long time now. I’m finally at a place in my life where I can truly appreciate the kindness and support, and you have shown me lots of it. Thank you for that.
As I understand it, the album is set to enter the charts at number one, which is just incredible on all your parts because there has been very little I’ve been able to do to promote it. In a world of schemes and strategies when it comes to selling something, you guys just bought music you trusted you’d like. You picked it up in the same way I made it… from the heart, no trickery. That is so cool and rare and all the marketeers in the world together can’t manufacture that. I am very grateful to you. o
The making of this record was purposely unidocumented, but there are a few iPhone videos and soome photos to share. I figure I’ll do that here, and more often than I usually have in the past. Even if this album slides off the charts in a month, it doesn’t make it any lessq special to me, and we should all be digging this music together, like we would have (and will cagain) on stage.
Stay tuned…
with thanks and love
John

Peace. Love and Adoration Always John :)click here to go to the iTunes store and stream the record now. Pre-order if you dig it.
I listened to the record last Wednesday on my flight to Los Angeles. Gave it one more go round before it went out into the world… one last little listen as being just mine. It’s brought me so much joy and company and peace, and I hope it will do the same for you.

Count me in babe! Thank you for sharn. XOThis has been one of my favorite shows on television for a while. One of those half hours that goes by like 11 minutes. Remember the video last Christmas with the two guys giving each other shopping lists to read off at Target? It was inspired by these guys. Too many people I know would love it don’t know about it, and as it’s told to me, a second season still hangs in the balance, SO… Tune in and check out Impractical Jokers tonight at 10… Funny and fun and good natured. Check out the show’s website here. I just like to see the good stuff (and good guys) win.
