In 2022, I created and launched a digital radio show called “Rhyme Heals All Wounds,” which is the culmination of both my philosophy on music and why I have always gravitated toward writing, producing, performing, and being otherwise influenced and inspired it over my entire life and continuing on today into the future.

Rhyme Heals all wounds is a concept and a philosophy based on personal experience. Music itself has rhyme, reason, rhythm and even things like logic, inspiration and comfort. It can transform not just moods but entire states of existence and consititutes a suffient change of environment from the most dire to that of hope and possibility.

It mostly brings inspiration.

There are so many “healing” philosophies and, especially when it comes to personal situations and feelings, such can be quite invasive. So-called “mental health” is relegated to using chemical and mechanical means to solve emotional (which is more in the realm of spiritual) states, brought on by life’s real problems, situations and conditions which occur in life interactions and not in some chemical reaction from within.

A problem is a problem and people experience real emotions from such problems, just as they experience pleasant emotions and happiness from positive experiences.

Further, it goes beyond the so-called “healing sciences” in that illicit drugs and toxins can compound the problem. Whether pharmaceutical or “recreational,” these are compounding the problems by creating an avoidance of confronting them altogether.

I have always felt that RHYME (as in music) heals all wounds. If you’ve ever been emotionally affected by a song or a lyric or a verse of a poem or even a great line in an inspirational story or movie, you have experienced this. And, especially if you have felt better when in a lesser emotional state, after having experienced this type of “rhyme”.

This is the reason I create, perform and produce music. This podcast challenges the idea of letting problems “fade into the background” instead of confronting and handling them, a concept forwarded by the cliche everyone knows, “time heals all wounds,” one of the greatest lies ever told to Man.

I would like to forward a new phrase: “Rhyme Heals All Wounds”
