Goosebumps for Sale

Blazing Reader,

“Instant goosebumps” was what Blazing Reader, Christian Pillon (from Germany), had to say about “The Cave” music video I sent out on Monday.

Goosebumps is what we artists are selling. What Mumford & Sons does with music, I seek to do with story.

Stanton, another Blazing Subscriber, confirmed: “Thanks John for recommending that song 'The Cave.' Usually when others recommend bands or songs I don't think much of them. But that was incredibly good.”

Yes, it has an intangible quality of incredible goodness to it doesn’t? Can't say I understand why exactly, but that's part of what brings the goosebumps.

Also, take note of the setting of the video. Which country do you think that is? I asked ChatGPT and received a response that proves AI still has some time before it’s ready to take over the world. Tomorrow, I’ll share with you what it hallucinated.
