Welcome to Austin, Texas. Austin in a parallel universe. In this Austin, there lives and works a world famous band known as Time Machine. Time Machine is a metal/progressive band who sticks through the hair metal days of the 80's through the 90's, and continues strong even into this decade. They've had some bumps along the road - most notably the loss of their lead guitar player, Jared West, in 1990 to complications of HIV/AIDS. Twelve years later, the same disease stole their lead singer. Yet, through this, Time Machine has survived and continues to make solid rock music that makes people think.

This is their story.

Time Machine is:
Phil West (Lead Vocals, Guitar; 2002-present)*
Mike Wilson (Guitar, Strings, Backing Vocal; 1988-present)
Tony Gadling (Bass, Piano/Keyboard, Backing Vocal; 1981-present)
Jason Matthews (Drums/Percussion; 1981-present, Producer; 1988-present)

Marc Gadling (Lead Vocals, Guitar; 1981-2002)
Jared West (Guitar, Backing Vocals, Producer; 1981-1990)

INNUENDO
Original Artist: Queen

While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow
Till the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
Tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin' yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, colour or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
We'll tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin'
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

Through the sorrow all through our splendour
Don't take offence at my innuendo

You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
Be free with your tempo, be free be free
Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself

Oooh, ooh -
If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
Oh yes we'll keep on trying
Hey tread that fine line
Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah
And whatever will be - will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

Admin Note:
Entries are written as blog entries from either myself or one of the characters in the novel. Each entry will begin with who the entry is from, what their relationship is to Marc, and the date of the entry. Keep in mind that many dates will be in the past - old thought processes, journal entries, etc. I will have tags that separate out past dates and present ones. This idea is to just let the characters speak. It gives back story, future story, and is a different way of communicating. Please feel free to comment and get involved with each of these characters. I enjoy them, I hope you will too. To see the early Friends Only posts, please add me as a friend and let me know you've done it so I can add you back.

Please note: (1) Icons used to represent characters are exactly that, representations. The actors, musicians, etc. who are represented are not affiliated with this journal, these blogs, or me in any way - save for serving as muses. (2) Bands, actors, musicians, or other public figures mentioned in these blogs are not connected in any way to this journal or the stories I write.
