![]() Some people say that Soul-Patrol got the Dells into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame. To be in a hotel room with Chuck Barksdale for 5 hours means that you are going to be doing a whole lot more listening than you will talking.Īnd that is why he is the “spokesperson” for the Dells. He is “NBA power forward sized” and combined with his deep bass voice is an imposing and intimidating conversationalist, much as I would imagine that Lyndon Johnson was as a United States Senator. It is said that Lyndon Johnson was able to actually change the votes of his fellow US Senators, by simply putting his hand on their shoulder as he talked with them, using his physical size as an intimidating factor within the context of the conversation. It is said that when Lyndon Johnson was the Majority Leader of the United States Senate, he was able to get many things done, because of his physical size. Chuck Barksdale, best known as the bass singer of the Dells, and this past Monday I got to spend the better part of 5 hours with Chuck in a hotel room just outside of Philadelphia. “Someone else” that I know is reading whatever I write, be it “profound”, “silly” or “stupid”.Īnd that person would be Mr. Well I know that I have at least one “fan” out there. In short, I have to feel that I have a “fan” out there, “someone else” that I am communicating with, even if that communication is “one way.” Communication is a basic human need and in many ways, its one of the primary purposes that is filled by the internet. I have to feel that the act of writing something down and sending it out is going to have an impact, even if it’s a small one. Because if I don’t believe it, then for me there is no point in writing at all. ![]() So as a result I learned long ago to simply accept the fact that “someone else” is gonna read what I write, that is something that I have to believe in. Usually whenever we write something on the internet, you just simply have to take it on faith that “someone else” is out there reading it, even when there is no written feedback. I mean, after all, in reality, who am I to think that anyone should be interested in anything that I might have to say about anything? In fact, the only true way of knowing with any sense of realism if anyone even bothers to read what I write, would be if someone replied with a response, right? Sometimes when I am writing I often wonder if anyone is reading. ![]() My Day with Chuck Barksdale of the Mighty Dells () ![]()
