If you have any doubts about art imitating life I suggest you take a look at the work of Pat Jensen.

He did both of the covers for my @strangefamous.bsky.social albums with @mopessfr.bsky.social

A wicked talented fella named Moonlight Grams remixed my “Once Upon a Blood Moon” song and created a lyric video for it. This is a more conventional beat than the original has, and it made me hear the song in a whole different way.

My whole career has been built on some “hear me now, believe me later” type shit. I’m rarely loved or appreciated at the “hear me now” stage. And that’s…OK.

“Pediatric Ward” is such a beautiful song and tribute to OldBoy Rhymes’ son who’s been put through the medical gauntlet in order to figure out his specific needs. The helplessness that parents feel in situations like this is well expressed here.

Here’s an interview I did 11 years ago that only has 100 views, but I drop some serious gems while also taking about the Cooper Gone album and much more in the process. I’m sharing this because I don’t event remember some of this stuff. youtu.be/s9VOGT33I2c?...

I heard from so many people yesterday.

It means a lot to me that others can see their own situation in “Falling Down” which you can watch here:

Being a caregiver is one of the hardest things any of us can or will ever do, especially when it’s for who took care of us.
