Feed Your Head

By Adam Jacobs

A forum for Philosophy, Science, Spirituality, and the Arts.

Beyond Belief is exactly the kind of thing I like to read about. Mind-opening ideas from gifted writers, the fusion of creativity and spirituality — I've begun to think of the two as almost synonymous! If you like to read things that don't challenge your beliefs, this probably isn't for you. If you do... well, you're going to find this page very consequential.

Love Songs Etc

By Pete Droge

Pete Droge muses on songwriting & record making while sharing work tapes, demos, outtakes, road stories & more.

Pete is a songwriter of the highest caliber. Writing a "good" song isn't all that hard. Writing a song that makes you think, or feel, or opens your mind up to way of looking at the world that you didn't even know was there is difficult. Pete is one of the people who can accomplish just that.
