Reasons why O.A.R. needs to write a book for charity.

Music. It's all about the music. O.A.R.'s music has the ability to bring about change, and they're the guys to do it. I suggest they write a book and donate 100% of the proceeds to charity. By telling a story they'll be doing three things: 1. expanding the music. 2. making a name as more than just musicians 3. spreading the message that changes lives. sappy, but it does.

They had a short story on their website a while ago. Good stuff, I would have loved to see more. There's a huge market for books that's being overlooked since people have turned away.

Now's the time. Here's a link to my thoughts on how the story of a stranger would be told: http://nowinthen.wordpress.com/

Be good to each other.

    I wish I still had a link. This sites been updated with every album and I'm pretty sure it was posted right after the release of in between now and then, hence my name. It had a great mysterious element to it, bringing in a lot of allusions to the song 'appletree' and ends it in the poker room. I checked oarsa.org and oarfans.com for it before posting on here and I couldn't find it but maybe its there. and yeah, sarasota is just north of venice. I go to school in Tampa, not too much further north. That's cool.

    I agree completely with it's a lot to ask. But about 2-3 years ago they had about a 10 page short story they wrote about their music on the site. It was a blast to read. I hate to use the beaten-to-death election as an example but the enormous increase in college demographic voters shows that our generation is ready for two things: action and change. By buying and reading the book with 100% of proceeds donated, we'd be able to play our part in that.

    I probably don't know how much it does impact others But I do know that o.a.r has changed my life But I feel like its kind of a lot to ask to have them write a book Isn't their music enough As much as I'd love to read this book I don't think we will ever see it No matter how awsome it would be

    I just uploaded a summary and table of contents of how I think the music tells the story. Thank for the positive input, you have no idea what a huge impact such a small gesture can have.
