Observations and Ramblings from a Cranky Old Guy. As you read the title, there may be a couple of questions you are asking: I thought he retired. I thought he quit. I thought he died. Well, one and two are partially true. As for three, that’s a pretty damn good trick if it was true, […]
Let’s talk egos. In promoting yourself as an artist, you have to have an ego, even if you don’t have one. You have to promote yourself as a good time. But take this to an extreme, and you’re arrogant. But if you start with the premise that you suck, you can take that three miles […]

The Rock and Roll (Hall of Fame) Circus. I have a confession to make. I love the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In particular, I love it twice a year: early February when that year’s nominees are announced. And three months later, when the “winners” (and, by extension, also the “losers”) are announced. Not […]
The Crawl. I am surrounded by mothers. They come in many forms, personalities and ages – older, younger, adoptive, step, single, married, military. I know churchgoing, cake-baking, field-trip volunteering, dinner on the table by six, ‘my children are my everything’ type moms. I know pot-smoking, mushroom-loving, concert-going, let your child run naked and free, ‘go […]
