	2 weeks ago (6.07.03) i played at an AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL BENEFIT CONCERT held in WIllamsburg, Brooklyn (where I live). since this was a big show for me and an important 'cause-related' event put on by a great and important organization, i decided i wanted to start my set with a political type of 'rant'-like song; on just guitar and vocals - straight BOB DYLAN style. lately i had been practicing rhyming over just the electric guitar and i liked the sound. fellow 14B'er ZACKORION coined the term PUNK ACOUSTIC to describe it. so a week before the show i started to write out lyrics that would sort of encompass what i see as going on in the world right now. i don't watch the news or stay up on current events because i believe that actually keeps you from understanding what is really going on around you. i can see what's going on by looking around at my environment and hearing the conversations that go on around me. anywaze, i was kind of nervous about starting my set this way, as i am just learning to play guitar while vocalizing, and i've always relied on my prowess at the turntables and bongos in my live shows; but when it came time to perform, i turned into JOSHUAGABRIEL and the song seemed to flow right out of me. i acted like 'hey, i always play guitar and sing,' and my confidence made the song flow naturally. this is a totally new direction for me, the political guitar song - but hey - my obsession with Bob Dylan was bound to lead me this way eventually. this is the first recording of 'WELCOME...' recorded live in one take in my room. i plan to re-record 'Welcome to the End of the World' several times as i improve at the guitar-vocals thing. to read the lyrics of this song click on 'view track info.'
