Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Story behind the song
The Message is the story of a man that receives an interstellar message, transmitted from a dying planet that portends bad things for much of the universe including Earth. He resists, but ultimately succumbs to act on this (ala Moses or Noah). He warns and gathers people and deals with the difficulties and uncertainties of interstellar travel. And once reaching the planet, massive adaptations and transformations occur. .

Rocket Driver Words and Music (c)2013 by Ron Tintner (ASCAP) and Andrew Richardson [Astronaut communications from NASA audio archive by Creative Common License] It's hot, hot, hot, too hot to breathe And I've got, got, got, I've got to leave I, I, I'm gonna hop a rocket A rocket, rocket, rocket, to the stars It's toxic It's toxic It's toxic Get away Rocket Driver Rocket Driver Rocket Driver Rocket Driver No, no, no... No tomorrows Go, go go... Who knows what follows It's toxic Toxic Toxic Get away Rocket Driver Rocket Driver Rocket Driver Rocket Driver
