Your typical left-handed nerd. Native San Diegan. Liberal AF. Pro-Union. Music geek. Padres fan. My cat runs things around here.
Happy Thanksgiving. I hope your celebration is fit for a King.

If this isn’t a Thanksgiving song, it should be.

Passion is no ordinary word, indeed. Happy Birthday Graham Parker. How does the original "Angry Young Man" age gracefully?

As a nerdy kid with a huge record collection, I admired Cameron Crowe. He was a teen-ager living my dream: rock’n’roll music critic. He married a rockstar, wrote for Creem and Rolling Stone, ended up making movies. Still envious. Tonight, thanks to my sister Theresa, we’re seeing him speak.

This is a much younger version of my Dad, he's 18 in this picture and about to ship out to the Philippines in 1945. For all who served, our allies too, Happy Veteran's Day.

Explaining the Handmade’s Tale to the author of the Handmade’s Tale takes some next-level stupid.

On this day in 1957, Laika the first Earthling rocketed into space. Evil, cruel Soviet bastards left her in space.
