Starr Family, I hope that all is well with you all, your families and your endeavors.
It seems like most people these days have lost their GODDAMM MINDS !
Yeah, I said it and would say it again but you can just read the above line again. FUCK U !
Now this is not for the majority of MY amazingly talented, incredibly beautiful, and unbelievably loving Starr Family members that I have known over the years I've been apart of this Myspace venue, this is for these new idiots that I hope will read this Blog before asking me for a Friend Request Add.
When I first started out on Myspace, there use to be people on here that had some intelligence and etiquette. They respected the fact that not only were they here for their own personal agenda, be it of an artistic, musical, modeling, writting, film, or sexual nature, they understood that the person that they were contacting here also had their own personal agenda and acknowledged it in the form of comments regarding the persons paintings, music, photos, writtings, short films & videos or Yea or Nay on the hook up for some............ well you can fill in that blank yourself (I don't need to divulge my freaky secrets.....not here anyway) but I digress....... my point is that at least they gave you the respect of acknowledging your mere existence after having initiating contact with you or in laymen's terms, after fucking bothering you first !
These days, these over inflated assholes.........I mean ego's, seek you out, send a friend request, and then attempt to splatter your page with their bullshit about you supporting their cause without ever leaving one comment acknowledging whatever your endeavors are. You're left wondering, did they listen to my music ? Did they look at my photos ? Did they read my Blogs ? HELL TO THE NAW THEY DIDN'T ! Now I know that I've been gulity of basically leaving the same type of comments on everyones page and photos but the fact of the matter IS..............I said ..."IS" I DO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. I DO READ THE BLOGS. I DO VIEW THE PHOTOS and then I LEAVE A GODDAMM COMMENT not to mention that I periodically stop by and leave comments which focus on my personal realtionship with that person and not that I got some gig, photo shoot to advertise on your page, or that I'm thinking that I'm the greatest thing on Myspace so "FOLLOW ME !"!!!!
Let me clear some reading space so you can painly read this...........OK ?.........Here we go...
"WHO ........THE........FUCK........ARE........YOU ??????????????????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And why should I add you into my Myspace world and let you invade my comment section about "YO SHIT !" ? And who the fuck are you that I want to follow your Twitter Tweets....."Going to eat a sandwich" "Now I'm going to take a shit" "Oops....I forgot to wipe my ass !" "Should I wash my hands ?".............GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK !!!!
YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT THAT IMPORTANT, YOU DON'T NEED TO CONVINCE ME OF IT BECAUSE I DON"T CARE.
Now if you're one of those people, chances are, you're not still reading this Blog which is fine with me because you're probably A.D.D. and I'm going to call you out on it and I don't give a shit about all of this "Politically Correct" shit if you step to me wrong because I'm an articulate Black Man who's going to give it to you everyway that I possibly can and it ain't going to be easy, nice and pretty.
Now for the corny but extremely real shit.............Respect begets Respect as Love begets Love as True Friendship begets True Friendship and you can continue this kumbaya moment if you want but I have to wrap this up...............
With all of the negative forces all around us to divide us because of Race, Religion, Wealth or lack of, Political Views and Sexual Orientation should we not resist and come together and just simply agree to disagree but to Live and Let Live Peacefully ? We're at a defining point in our generational lives that stears us to make that choice which will either emancipate us from the grasp of self & world destrution or propel us straight into the unyielding gravity of armageddon.
I sure that you initially didn't think from reading the first part of this Blog that I was going to take this shit this deep but this is something that WE ALL need to truly ponder and respectfully and openly discuss.
As always, I welcome your counterpoint of view regarding what I've written but until then
TAKE CARE, STAY SAFE AND LET'S LOVE, RESPECT AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER !
peace Andre Jones

Starr Family, I hope that all is well with all of you, your families, and your endeavors. The below posting is statement that I posted on my good friends Lynne Conte of Conte's Networking Communications ( www.myspace.com/lynneconte) Blog for Successful Live Performances. I hope that you read it and give us some feedback on if you agree or disagree or have something to add regarding this subject. Thanks ! :-) KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE DOING BY PREPARING !!!!!! Being that I've just returned from a not so successful tour of my own, which was due to finances & poor promotional efforts, I can say that we (the Band) was fully prepared for many of the trials & tribulations that will beset a traveling / live performing band. Taking the Toyota Production System & Prince Rogers Nelson rule of law, I ran the song itinerary to perfection and when everyone thought that they knew what the itinerary show's song list was or what was going on, I ran it into the ground and completely changed everything. Electric songs were performed accoustic, uptempo songs were slowed to a crawl and executed, and there is a phone volume adopted from the Midnight Star Band of the 70's who when members couldn't make rehearsals had to perform rehearsals over the phone and everyone had to be heard so volume discipline was greatly enhanced and honed. The set list was changed around a lot. I guess what I'm trying to say is that a band that can achieve being comfortable with being uncomfortable will be a successful bad because issues like, crowds attention & noises, accoustics, climate (inside & out) lighting, etc.. becomes less of a factor to a musician and the overall bands execution of a song and a live performance. I totally agree with Ms. Wallis that your sound engineer must be competant, professional and focused and the band must first start with engaging themselves and then the audience and their attire will dictate how serious they will be considered by their audience. Smoking, drinking, & drug use both on stage and in view of their audience as well as out of view should be given careful consideration. Language while engaging the band members onstage and the audience should also be given careful consideration when seeking to establish your band as a serious & professional band capable of performing in Joe's Bar on the corner, a ballroom at the downtown Hilton, or the Palace of Auburn Hills or the Convention Center downtown Nashville to name a few. Remember, THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS. Treat it with the same respect, reverance and professionalism that you would a regular job that you would have because there are rules you must abide by to maintain your job like, being knowledgeable, punctual, professional in conduct and attire, and being consistant. If you will perform these for someone else's business wouldn't you at least give yourself the same consideration if not more for your OWN BUSINESS ???? !!!!! Now I know that this has been a long rant but I must say that not all band members have the state of the art equipment however, that doesn't excluded them from 1. Learning the full limits of their gear and applying it to each and every song, 2. Documenting that information for personal use both at rehearsals and live, and 3. Re-investing their proceeds at some point into better equipment. A $1,500.00 guitar will sound much better than that Squier for $150.00. That $500.00 microphone will sound and perform much better than that $30.00 mic, get where I'm going with this ? Now I could be wrong in my assessment and I welcome ALL counter points of views but I warn that they should be relevant because these points I speak on have been tested and positively confirmed by professionals. peace Dre*

Awww DAMMMMM,
The Detroit Tigers got their asses spanked by the St. Louis Cardinals and while I'm thinking of it, Congratulations to the Cardinals Organization, the City of St. Louis and Cardinal Fans World Wide however, woe is Me, woe to my City, woe unto the State of Michigan because we lost a Championship Baseball game. All is of a state of depression and despair again ….. or is it ?
There is a significant lesson that has played out in the eyes of Michiganders, Tigers & Cardinal fans, and people worldwide in general.
What is that you may ask ?
Glad you asked !
This Team absolutely SUCKED seasons before. I could recruit some of my Myspace Starr Family members and we'd take them in a seven game series however, when the Organization & each individual decided to change Leadership, put aside personal goals, political, religious, sexual preferences, and other personal matters of concern and banded as a cohesive unit ( A TEAM ) TOGETHER, they were able to overcome a tremendous amount of challenges that had been laid before them and everyone on that Team, even though falling short of their ultimate goal of winning a Championship, benefited and so did our City and in a small way, each of us fans collectively.
You see here in Michigan, our economy is hurting and ranked if not dead last, very close to the bottom, fueling a turn on your fellowman mentality by the vociferous villains and powerful greedy ones who conquer and divide the Races, Genders & Classes, look out for only yourself and your kind and FUCK everyone and everything else. And oh …. by the way, Jesus is our personal friend and not yours and told us to say and do these things so get the hell off of the planet!
You see, from what our news papers report, we're more preoccupied with who's loving who or who's fucking who and angry white men are saying that people of color & women shouldn't have an fair opportunity to go to the University of Michigan or any other school or should be given any type of consideration or preferential treatment for hire of employment even though they still rank as the majority in being employed, in school, running and owning business, and make more money than women and people of color for doing the same identical job. Basically, still at the top of the food chain, does this theme sound familiar?
This Tiger Team and the Cardinal team for that matter exhibited what is taking place all over the national and even the world. From the largest cities to the rural regions and that is, WHEN WE PUT OUR PERSONAL DIFFERENCES, FEELINGS, IDEAS, AND GOALS ASIDE FOR THE RIGHT COMMON GOOD, WE CAN ACHIEVE GREATNESS. WE CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING! And I know that sounds extremely corny but you know what, at the very Core of that entity is R-E-S-P-E-C-T & L-O-V-E ! You'll hear it today from the Cardinal Team Members saying that they were a banded family of love and respect for one another united in a cause and they are a group of people of various Age Groups, Ethnic Backgrounds, Political and Religious Beliefs. Just ask the Miami Heat, the Detroit Shock (women's basketball Championship Team), the Italian Soccer Team, or any group of individuals that have come together for a purpose and for the Common Good.
Now if you're still reading this bulletin because I know it's a little long and I'm not showing or talking about any titties or lewd sexual behavior, and not that I have something against titties or lewd sexual behavior, just drop by my page sometime and you'll see that the Starr Family loves Music and Sex and they remind me how much I do everyday …… and I Thank Them also! but I digress, in the next few days, Americans are going to be faced with yet again the challenge, FUCK everyone else or fight for what is right for the Common Good of Mankind. You know the stuff like, House the Homeless, Feed the Poor, Heal or Treat the Sick, Cease the Exercise of Hate Rhetoric, Save the very Grounds on which We Stand and the very Air that We Breathe, Educating our Children and some of these idiots on Myspace and the one that frost my balls the most, STOP THE BLOOD SHED OF ALL KINDS ! You know …. Shit like that. Oh and kick in for good measures, Stop the Injustice of Incarcerating so many Black Men, People of Color, and Poor People because Justice just doesn't work for US. We can't afford it. Now I'm not going to even talk about the Religious Right in this piece because I don't have time, and I'm not caught up on my Myspace emails, Friend Requests (sorry guys …. I'm working on it !), and listening to some of the Worlds most Creative and Artistic Human Beings and I'm sure Tom (what a slow getting to peoples myspace issues ass) would shut me down for receiving too many emails of hate & counterpoint on that subject, but I will soon but I digress, when we go to the polls in the next few days, let's become a TEAM and take off those rose colored glasses, the earplugs, and yes, those dunce caps, and let's vote for the Common Good of this Earth and Mankind. Remember one basic thing, those ASSHOLES work for us and it's time to remind them of that fact because if we were at our job being as ineffective as they are being in the position of power that we elect & trust them to behold, we'd be FIRED ! Let's exercise our rights and fire a few motherfuckers so they can really see how it feels to lose a job and that we mean business this time or …….. Drink Up, Pass the Joint, Save me some Lines, and Beam Me Up Scotty because the cable is extremely frayed on this amusement park ride called the Demon Drop that we're ALL ON ! Or I could just be wrong and I'm sure after having read this long ass bulletin, you'll tell me so. At any point, Have a Safe, Productive, Fun Filled, & Relaxing Weekend. Happy Halloween Too and someone out there send me some damm candy !
Peace
Dre

Starr Family, I hope that all is well with you, your family, and your endeavors.
I hope that you all have a very safe and wonderful weekend.
I wanted to share something that happened to me today with you all in hopes of:
1. It'll give you a laugh at how some boys give us MEN a bad reputation in the actions in the things we say and do.
2. Give me a chance to rant and get this shit off of my chest !
I was at work today, trying to listen to the incredible music of my Myspace friends because I truly want to hear all of their music when either I request an "Add" of them or they request one of me but I digress ......
So I'm listening to the music of my new friend Amanda Williams (out of Nashville) when I get an email from .... "It's Freakin Luke" saying basicly to stop messaging his girlfriend ...........................
I'm thinking ..........
WOULD THE OWNER OF THIS SICK, SCARED, LITTLE INEFFECTIVE PENIS HAVING, INSECURE, SCREENING HIS GIRLFRIEND'S PICTURE MESSAGES TELL HIM TO THINK LONG AND HARD BEFORE HE EMAILS ME AGAIN WITH THIS BULLSHIT.
And while you're at it, while the two of you are on the phone together until 4 am (aww), you should end that phone call tonite with the Lord's Prayer and thank GOD that this internet forum afforded him the opportunity to step to me (virtually) with that garbage and not have me open a raging full can of "Whip His Young Ass" because he and I both know that if he had the face to face opportunity to express that insignificant and false bullshit concern of his to me, he'd BITCH UP like the BITCH he portrayed himself to be. Now I won't out you (his girlfriend) because it was him that approached me about this issue, not you. However, I'm a little focused on it because: 1. I just met her. I really don't know her. 2. I didn't say anything disrespectful or in a suggestive manner i.e. "Holla at you Boy" etc ....... That has never or will it ever be my style. I'm a grown ass MAN and have respect for MYSELF ! 3. I respect ALL of my STARR FAMILY FEMALE FRIENDS. Married, Engaged, In Love, In Like, Not Interested In Penis, ..... you get where I'm going with this ........ Post my shit and call me out ! 4. The picture compliment that I gave her, I've given to many other STARR FAMILY FRIENDS who from a physical beauty standpoint, are much more deserving of it than her and trust me, I have extremely beautiful friends all over this planet. 5. I couldn't reach out and touch this clown .... however, I will make this point and if he, HIS GIRL, or their friends are reading this, let there be NO ROOM FOR DOUBT, I'm one of the nicest guys that you can ever meet. Intelligent, Respectful, Talented, & Got a Purpose in LIFE and who can also be your worst nightmare ...... A Nigga with a Fucked Up Attitude and the RESOURSES to book a flight to your State (I can always use the frequent flyer miles) Use my Hertz Gold Member Club Card to get a comfortable rental (with navigation) to drive to your town, to your house (OR YOUR GIRL"S ....which is probably where you'll be 'cause let's face it .... You're too affraid someone's trying to "Holla" at her ... and did you ever think ...... maybe she likes the attention ? Want a REAL MAN ?) and embarass your want to be badass IN FRONT of YOUR GIRL !
I guess this just frost my balls because of ALL of the Women here on Myspace, and there are a few in which I really wouldn't mind "Hollin" at, she's young and is one of the absolute last ones I would even entertain the thought of doing such a thing and besides, I need a "Woman" ..... not a little "girl".
And while I'm on this soap box ........ Fellas ....... Clean it up a bit. Respect Yourselves and these Women. I don't care how someone displays themselves (and that's a whole other bulletin) it still doesn't give you the right to make the unsolicited comments that most of you make. Think about it ...... if there were ever a pending legality regarding sexual harrassment towards you, you're dead in the water from all of the incriminating evidence that you've smeared all over the internet. Captured in Black & White. I have thousand of Female Friends who present themselves in a classy, business, networking manner and it's still the same thing in comments that are being posted on their pages. These women are someones Mother, Wife, Sister, Aunt, Grandmother .... ( ? ) , Lover, Friend ..... We need to treat them ALL like Queens and in doing so ..... maybe ...... just MAYBE, you'll gain the attention, admiration, affection, but most importantly, the R-E-S-P-E-C-T you so desperately seek.
Now I could be wrong about all of this except for the part of whipping that little insecure "It's Freakin Luke" ASS, and I'm not saying that ALL men here on Myspace are like this, but I am saying that I'm MAN enough to hear your counterpoint of view regarding it anytime you feel the need to express yourself to me.
To those of you who know me well ..... I Love You All !
peace

I was recently asked by one of my new Myspace Friends, "Who am I ?" and "What makes me,"Me" ?"
I had to think about this because I'm always thinking of others instead of myself. I came up with the following;
I'm a Person of personal Religious beliefs in my relationship with the Creator.
I'm a Man of Passion in my Daily Life, Music, and Relationship with Others.
I'm an Optimist.
I'm a Dreamer & Believer.
I'm a Person who gladly accepts my role of great responsibilities in Everything that I Am and Everything that I Do yet I have the insight to not take it so seriously as to not see it through the Eyes of a Mischievous Child.
I'm a Complex Simple Man who at times yearns to be Loved by Everyone yet never letting Anyone inside to truly know the Real Me and not caring to compromise that reality.
I'm a Teacher and a Student.
I'm a Giver and a Taker.
I Laugh and I Cry.
I Smile regularly at the good times passed, inside my Minds Eye.
I'm just merely another spec of Humanity crying out in it's existences on Myspace. (smile)
I would think that the Things that make me Me are my Beliefs, my Mind, and my Heart.
I've come to know too well that it isn't a Job, House, Car, Money, or another Person and it truly is just that simple.
