Is AA a fellowship of storytelling? Or is AA a publisher? Is AA recovery told, heard, read or written? I was asked "Should the Big Book of AA be re-written. It has been; did you miss it? We'll tell you…

- CHRONIC MALCONTENT is an anthem for the restless, irritable and discontent. "I am discontent and proud, that's why I sing it out-loud."
- NOT THE LEAD DOG When you're not the lead dog, the view never changes. Not an acceptable lot in life for any rebellion dog.

When You’re Not the Lead Dog© Joe C, Jesse Beatson, The Chronicles
Like jumping from a ledge or retreating to a burning building
Time to choose the uncertain or settle for breaking even
A parable comes to mind from one of life’s wise Eskimos
I don’t remember it exactly but here is how it goes:
When you’re not the lead dog, the view never changes
Life’s a crowded room full of faceless strangers
When you’re not the lead dog, the view never changes
I can’t settle for getting by so bring on the dangers
You confess you have a dream – the other’s just don’t get it
Like an aging hipster, you don’t want to be pathetic
So you’re torn between a good living and a good life
You ask if it’s worth the risk, the sweat, the strife. You asking me?
When you’re not the lead dog, the view never changes
Life’s a crowded room full of faceless strangers
When you’re not the lead dog, the view never changes
I can’t settle for getting by so bring on the dangers
I won’t bah like a sheep, so I fight what I seek
You won’t put me to rest with my concerto incomplete
Life is not a punishment – more like a treasure hunt
So I’m jumping from the ledge and taking a run for the front
