Not fan of censorship or commercials, I made the jump from Youtube to Spotify for my music needs. I appreciated Spotify's stand for free speech and their unwillingness to bow to the pressure to remove Joe Rogan from the platform. Truth, I rarely listen to Rogan unless he has someone scientific on there, but I appreciate courage and a desire to get to the truth and nuance of an issue. So I signed up and ponied up my 10 dollars a month to go commercial free.

And I love it; I now have a huge library of ambient music, which given my time listening, is absolutely my favorite genre of music. 





Does that make me boring or extremely groovy, man?

She Trails flowers by Neutron 9000 is perhaps my favorite find. Somehow I missed it when it first came out. I find it both calming an expanding. It's a treat to meditate to. Boy have I gone places with it. Straight to the stars, Baby.

I have also been able to dive into the music of my youth ... well when I was younger anyways.  I wasn't big into Grunge, but Bush was one of those bands that made the cut, probably because they also incorporated elements of Emo and Goth.  The band knew how to write a chorus, and Rossdale's lyrics were darkly passionate; he believed what he sang. 

No pop bubblegum and all poetic blood letting.

Yes, I know I began this post chronicling my move away from the corporate censorship of Youtube to the more pro-free speech Spotify, but sometimes you need the video, especially when there are werewolves.

Gavin thinks he has problems dating a werewolf, but every tween and housewife could tell him that where there  are hunky canine clad carnies, howling at the moon, there is a rich sports car driving vampire, waiting, with the engine revving, to whisk away your girl. He doesn't just offer gems, to your likes and upvotes, but can actually turn your girl into diamonds, make filters and face-tuning redundant. 

It's mid summer and not Halloween. With the long days, all good glittery blood-suckers are on reduced hours, but it seems apropos all the same.

<br>

# <center> Halloween Has But One Casanova</center>

<br>

Frankenstein …

Many ladies do a swoon
Tall, dark, and green
Shoulders that go on for days
Yeah, he’s a hunk
A hunk and a half, I’d say





<br>






![IMG_9976 (3).jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/prydefoltz/EoJz1exiaewFfgr5jxsdy4rp7dm7JahihZXiW2vsmrdF37euiCsEVCqPQUqiC2U5Rov.jpeg)

<br>


The Wolf Man …

Rock star of All Hallows’ Eve
A howl at the moon
Shirt torn down to there
Bosoms do a heave
Buttons burst; take to the air




<br>

![IMG_9976 (1).jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/prydefoltz/23uFHNvLb2bbAsEvzR6TSQwVMkHkBrfvsmjvX66QcG7w674bYbb1tc5rAzb51KB5ythzp.jpeg)

<br>

But without a doubt
Not a sliver or an iota
Not even a long dark shadow
Upon a crumbling veranda

Halloween has but one Casanova




The Vampire



<br>





![IMG_9939.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/prydefoltz/23vru2P3eJMDDyGzfUcuGe8trRJJKQ8nSeucpc8r7rzezJkaAAeVQAYFKXdYkv3hqvqYf.jpeg)

<br>


Now I’m not talking Nosferatu
Lugosi, or even a shirtless Oldman
No pale-faced, crypt-dwelling codger
In search of a not-so-reluctant virgin

I’m talking le vampyre moderne
Bill, Damian, Eric, and Stefan
Your gal hangs with one of these four
Any thought of you … long gone


<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

But you know who’s the worst
Yeah you do; come on; don’t deny
Alright, alright, I’ll tell you then
But first let me pause for a sigh

Sigh




<br>


![IMG_9940.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/prydefoltz/23w2aSws2Lg67Gwc7XKbM1YPz7ViHQ5dhQReC8qdCVXJ1cDDvKj71vvLBuU3UaC3T87KF.jpeg)

<br>
Edward, Edward, Edward
Glistening skin, hair artfully tousled
A few bruises but a small price
For his kind of amorous wrestle

Upon his flickering ambers
Your beloved’s do alight
No, she’s not yours anymore
But his … his for the bite

Give it up, my dear poet
Find a coffin; jump on within
For with a guy made of diamonds 
            you just can’t contend

Funny how we seem to never leave the early musical loves of our youth. It is really a pleasure of modern streaming to be able to "rediscover" some old gems.

For sure. They never even had "Chillhop" when I was young, but now I find it enjoyable, especially on a long drive. Good times.
