DAVID GREENBERG has been in the music biz for most of his adult life: directing Grammy-nominated music videos, scripting the platinum-selling Kiss eXposed for Paul and Gene, product managed releases by Yoko Ono, Ringo Starr, Cesar Rosas, Robert Hunter, Bill Laswell, among others, and later as the Director of Marketing for a boutique agency working with the crème de la crème of the jazz world. (Now you know how he wangled those quotes from musical heavyweights.) And yet, the bulk of his lyrics still lay in a drawer unsung; deadbeat children who should be out there making the big bucks or, more importantly, of course, changing the lives of millions around the world. Heck, in these strange times, he'd even be grateful for a few pennies on the dollar and a few listeners given a good chuckle.
While Greenberg has been writing lyrics since he was a pup, he's rarely found himself around a musician who wanted to turn the words into penetrating, timeless songs. As Cary Baker of conqueroo noted, David never found his Elton John to his Bernie Taupin. That's not to puff up the lyrical quality of the collection to the size of an alarmed blowfish and insinuate Greenberg is a Bernie Taupin, a Hal David, a Captain Beefheart. Still, even they weren't icons when they first started tipping their lyrics into the measures written by their musical partners. And to canvass for his own Reggie Dwight* or John French** by trying to hand out the sheets of lyrics to budding musicians like a hyper and overzealous Dr. Feelgood doling out pills to wary prospective customers seemed a bit slimy-to the budding musicians, at least-with the predictable outcome of having very few stuck to the proverbial wall and even less deep in the literal pockets.
Instead, he's going to try and sell them to you. We have pulled the lyrics together and jammed them into this book that we have lovingly designed for ultimate reader satisfaction. Here is the updated version of the folio with over 30 new lyricals! Get your copy today and start the rest of your music career on a straight path to hit-dom. Or at least jump-start Greenberg's! Or, if you read poems, consider this a book of poetry with some stanzas repeating themselves. Why hesitate? Didn't the quotes printed here mean anything to you? No? Read the ones inside. Well then, who else do we have to cajole and connive to get you interested? Sorry, not Sir Paul. Can't. Ever since Greenberg worked with Ms. Ono...
