Friends, I know what you're thinking: "Greg, how come whenever I listen to regular radio, all I hear are so many of those whiny love songs with victim messages? Songs like, 'I'm So Miserable Without You, It's Like You Were Here.' Or, 'If You Won't Leave Me, I'll Find Someone Who Will.'

"Greg, I want some music that will lift me up! Help me to rise and fly! Fill me with love, laughter, hope, and inspiration! Greg, that's the kind of music I need in my life, but Greg, where can I find music like that?"

Friends, right here on this little website! That's right. Not one, but two CDs full of music that will amuse, inspire, uplift and entertain you and your family for decades to come!

I know what you're thinking: "Greg, that's fantastic! But Greg, which one should I get?"

Friends, that is limited thinking! And because I don't want you to waste even one precious minute of your mental energy on a decision like that, I've combined both CDs into one low-priced double album: "Saving The World From Whiny Victim Love Songs."

This new double CD is dedicated to the fact that music is powerful, and a huge influence. That it gets to us when we're not even thinking about it.

For example:

The very funny movie, High Fidelity, opens with John Cusack's character looking into the camera and saying, with obvious humorous angst, "What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands, of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery, and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"

Hey--don't you think relationships are challenging enough without getting brainwashed to be love slaves or take hostages by songs that tell us things like:

1. Use me, control me, treat me like Kleenex, but love me.
2. My life is nothing without you. You're my only reason to live.
3. If you ever leave me, I'll kill myself. Or worse.
4. I always knew you'd leave. I'm a born loser.
5. I'm worthless without you. Fertilizer.
6. My life is over now.
7. Might as well get drunk.

Whew! Doesn't exactly get the old endorphins flowing, does it? Well friends, I have good news: Help is on the way!

(ADVISORY: CONTAINS ANTI-DEPRESSIVE LYRICS)


Tamblyn's combination of penetrating wit, shrewd insight, deftness with words, amiable stage presence, and dry delivery makes this the funniest, most laugh out loud musical humor I've heard......packed with 'Let me just play you this one song' tracks.
—John Conquest, 3rd Coast Music

Tamblyn's timing would be the envy of many a standup comedian. He has a knack for a well-turned phrase or a sly and painful pun, and isn't afraid to show off an optimism rare in observational humor. And he has an excellent partner, not in his occasional vocal allies, but in his guitar. It strums along or interjects notes of disbelief or amazement, sometimes acting as a melodic straight man and sometimes as the wacky sidekick.
—Sarah Meador, Rambles.net

"If you have a weak bladder, beware. Greg's humor is funny enough to cause accidental leakage, even in men and pre-menopausal women. Avoid drinking liquid during Greg's songs, because he can make you laugh so hard that you snort that same liquid out your nose. In addition to his side-splitting humor, he also has songs that will touch your heart and leave you changed in a good way. But don't say that you weren't warned."
—Jana Stanfield

"Hilarious. I feel like I'm listening to a real friend who understands so much of what I experience, need, think, hope--like you've seen into my soul and my refrigerator. Thanks."
Katherine Kerr

"I love the messages you are spreading through your music! I am sure you are Chicken Soup for a lot of Souls out there in the world. Keep writing and singing!"
Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul
