This video is a great commentary on how cells phones have preoccupied people in every aspect of

their lives. Written by Chris Gantry. Chris is a great songwriter who was friends with Shel Silverstein (Sylvia's Mother) and Kris Kris Kristofferson who he says that his original inspiration for "The Pilgrim: Chapter 33 " was Gantry. Chris lived with Johnny Cash when he first moved to Nashville. Check out his other songs on YouTube. He's releasing a new Drag City Records this coming Saturday called Nashlantis.

Enjoy.
