This is where indie pop musician Brave the River gets personal about his life as a starving musician, his life-long pursuits to find the perfect burrito, stories that embarrass him, and what makes him tick. His name is Jonathan, and he does't like talking in the third-person... so he won't anymore.
“You held me like a river:
So bold, so strong, and untrue.
You were singing of blood in the Nile.
I was singing them Mississippi blues!”

I recently spoke with Mike Love. We had a good night out on the town, then he pretty much dropped a bomb in the conversation. He said that the Beach Boys only wore matching striped shirts when they wished to be commercially viable. They wore stripes, they got a hit, he said. I mean, look at the cover of Pet Sounds. No stripes, not much of a hit. Maybe the best record ever, but without the stripes… sales were doomed. I never knew.
Me and Donovan (the guy who wrote “Mellow Yellow, yea) want to be “Hurdy Gurdy” men… so who is going to get poor me one of these? I hear they’re a real steel at a couple thousand bucks (mhmm). Oh dear, my fondness for new instruments. I’ll make a bet: Get me one, and I’ll have that man’s exact expression for the rest of my life. Promise.
Oh Rumi, not really a sexy beard. But here’s a good verse!
“In a boat down a fast-running creek,
it feels like trees on the bank
are rushing by. What seems
to be changing around us
is rather the speed of our craft
leaving this world.”
