What's In A Name? Jermaine Jackson Just Changed His...

A couple years back I penned out and recorded a song called, "Kicked Out Of Heaven" where I attempted to tackle our addiction to Social Media. My question was, "What's in a name when there's someone new on every page?" Not new people! New you! The average person seems to change their email address, webpage, identity on Face Book and Twitter at the twist of the cap. It's as if we're searching to become or to locate a reaction to an action therefore making you more marketable than the last three attempts. Do you think I'm crazy to think like this? My Arroe-ism's aren't too far off the rocker. RollingStone Magazine reports Jermaine Jackson filed a name change petition in a Los Angeles court yesterday requesting to change his famous last name to something a bit brighter: Jermaine Jacksun. The older brother of Michael Jackson said the shift was for "artistic reasons," according to the Associated Press. While the filing doesn't divulge more information, Jackson's friend Steve Dennis spoke on behalf of the singer, saying that artists changing their names is not uncommon, and "Phonetically, it changes nothing." "It is something he has chosen to do," Dennis added, "and it's fair to say that you cannot blame this one on the boogie, you've got to blame it on the sunshine," alluding to the Jackson 5 disco hit, "Blame it on the Boogie." Jackson will find out if he can become Jacksun at a hearing scheduled for February 22nd in Los Angeles. Wow! To each their own and within every shape we recreate you gotta wonder if the Poet's sitting alongside crowds of gathered combination aren't in essence unveiling truths based on what you're about to do. A few months after Youtubing Kicked Out Of Heaven, I released another song, "Social Me-dia" based on how every step, decision and desire must pass a self examination performed hourly on the web. It's all about me meaning you! And how many people do you know that can't seem to set aside their smart phone? Yep...just a Poet with a pen and it's you that gives me inspiration...
