The Future Mayor of Nashville

---

Ever since I was young I have always had a strong urge to know the Truth, to understand things at the deepest level, and to learn to use this knowledge to better the lives of others and myself. Politics and economics has been a subject of endless fascination to me. As much as I am a musician and creative at heart, there has always been a gnawing feeling that some day, being in a position of local leadership was a call I could not refuse. That day has finally come, and I am now officially running for the Mayor's office of Nashville.

We have reached a pinnacle time in the history of not only our city, or state, but the entire globe, great thinkers named "The Fourth Turning," where age old cycles repeat and great challenges lie on the horizon. With tsunami's of fiscal debts globally, draining resources, outright deceit from the majority of our leaders, absolute social and ethical confusion, we are now entering the make--or-break season for the future of peace, stability and prosperity in our great city. I am not going to bullshit you, I believe it is a mathematical certainty things are going to get tough for all of us, and there will be some serious birth pains into this new Nasvhillian/American era, but with the proper planning and execution, I believe the best days of Nashville are yet to be seen. 

I have seen very few in politics, especially locally, acknowledge or address the giant recessionary elephant in the room, either because it's unpopular politically, or more realistically they just don't "get it." Both of those scenarios I find terrifying and absurd, because now is the time to act and position Nashville for the world to come. While most of our current candidates and politicians are pitching policies and future paths that sound "easy " and "nice," I am here and ready to do the hard thing. I am ready to feed Nashville brussel sprouts and carrots so it can continue to grow in strength and stability in an era of uncertainty and hardship. I will unify the people of our great city in the most innovative ways, so through brotherhood and cooperation, we can progress in function and sustainability. I will help foster the creativity and imagination that fuels Nashville's industry and growth.

In the depths of every person there exists a Higher-Self, one of ultimate awareness, intelligence, magic, and purity, the best of what we can possibly Become, and I believe the same can be said for cities. As incredible a place as Nashville is, I think we have only scratched the surface of what our city can become. Nashville needs a leader who can guide and inspire us through the id and confusion of the storm and come out the other side stronger, wiser, more unified, more peaceful, more prosperous, more alive: I am that man.
