            <title>Music Tour Documentary</title>
            <link>http://rocksolomon.com/news.html#18</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Fundraiser:</p><br /><p>The countdown begins!!! As usual, a small idea turned out to be a MUCH LARGER PROJECT, and now I'm holding <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rocksolomon/the-starving-artist-tour">a fund raiser</a> to try to bring it home. &nbsp;I personally shot video of six months worth of music travels from Colorado to Seattle, through LA and in to Nevada for Burning Man. The entire trip was one big stumbling train wreck, but i survived, and got most of it on video! Did everything go as planned? &nbsp;Not at ALL. &nbsp;But hopefully the documentary will make it somehow worth all the couch-hopping, street hustling, car breakdowns (she broke down in almost EVERY major city from Miami to Seattle) and time and money spent.</p><br /><p>PLEASE <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rocksolomon/the-starving-artist-tour">look at this Kickstarter campaign</a>, and make a pledge. EVERY person who makes a pledge wil be sent a thank you token. The more you pledge, the bigger the package will be. &nbsp;Watch the video, share it, and then <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rocksolomon/the-starving-artist-tour">pick the pledge reward you want.</a> &nbsp;Unless this project is fully funded, NO money will be charged to anyone, and I don't know what will happen to the project. &nbsp;It would probably be put the in the vault to be forgotten forEVER and ever... and ever. &nbsp; who knows?</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>Listen to the new album in it's entirety; just click play above (or pick and choose songs on the Music tab to your left). It has been 7 years in the making, but now that it's done, I can't seem to decide on a set value for the CD. &nbsp;(divided at 8 dollars an hour, it would be something like $364.80 each) &nbsp;So I have decided to let YOU DECIDE. &nbsp;And it's not a cop-out! &nbsp;Really, just have a listen, and if you want to support the music and help keep it coming, then simply make a donation ( $10-20 suggested) and I will personally send you a CD in the mail. &nbsp; It's that simple.</p><br /><p>If you want to donate via credit card or paypal, simply use the donate link below.</p><br /><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" /> <input name="hosted_button_id" type="hidden" value="9PUH8LRDWGQ6G" /> <input name="submit" type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" /> <img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></form><br /><p>If the link isn't working, or you would rather donate via check, money order or cash, &nbsp;send it to:</p><br /><p>Rock Solomon</p><br /><p>756 Cherryvale Rd.
