Inspiration: TBB Cool Kids

This weekend I was at the Western Washington Aviation Trade Show and met so many wonderful people doing incredible things with their lives revolving around aviation. I want to thank everyone who dropped by our booth, chatted, and especially those who took home a copy of Flight For Control and/or Flight For Safety. I really appreciate your support!!!

I will be spending the next few weeks introducing you to some incredibly talented people I met at the event, and all they have to offer. But I promised today to someone special.

Years ago in college days, my son-in-law Torrey (married to my youngest daughter) wrote a few songs and put them into an album. His brother, who happens to be living in London now, invested in a movie and introduced one of the songs to the producers. They created a video (without Torrey knowing) and one day he received a copy of his song. What a surprise to see your college "goofing around" talent come to life many years later.

Torrey's video: TBB Cool Kids

"The video was shot in one day in East London. The video address’s that human interaction that has been around for generations - ‘Cool’ versus ‘Not Cool’. Although today’s headlines tend to focus on the very serious and negative impacts of bullying, the video takes a more positive look and aims to portray the idea that you will make it through, and things will get better. Those who thought they were the cool kids early on, simply end up being envious of those they once bullied. I hope you enjoy the song and video."

I love this song. Love the video. And I love the premise. I want to help Torrey get as many hits as possible on You Tube. So check out the video, like it, and then come back and read how this all came about.  

More about the video:

"My buddy and I had a musical duo in college (TBB) and played small venues playing cover songs while also writing our own material. After we graduated college, we purchased an 8 track recorder to mess around with. We put together and ‘produced’ a cd from it. ‘Cool Kids’ was on that album. The song’s narrator seems to be a disillusioned city dweller. He dramatizes his social status and has visions of anarchy and apocalypse. This narrator looks to ‘cool kids’ as an entity that must be infiltrated. What is interesting about this song is that it paints young males as some kind of actors in a play. Their props- alcohol and women. For them, the appearance of having a strong warrior pack is more important than individual love and desire."
