Just another wiseass. Connoisseur of the ridiculous. My life's labor is words. Music is my jam. Find my music writing at The Amp https://turnuptheamp.com/?author=641916379ff8112841963d84

Check out this fab new album, the debut full-length from Rah Rah Rabbit, and my review for The Amp. "Sassy, irreverent, head-nodding and butt-wiggling good fun, filled with hard-won truths and glimpses of life not far from either side of the poverty line." turnuptheamp.com/home/2025/6/...

This is waaaay outside my comfort zone, but the crisis facing our country right now is easily the worst in my lifetime (and Watergate was BAD). We all have to do something #handsoff

John Prine would have been proud of the talent at the 30A Songwriters Festival. Here's my take, including words about and pix of @kellywillis.bsky.social (below), @stevepoltz.bsky.social, @brandyclark.bsky.social, @chuckprophet.bsky.social and others turnuptheamp.com/home/2025/1/...

This is why I try to buy albums, buy merch, buy concert tickets, to give artists money in some way... because streaming doesn't pay jack. And it's why I use Tidal when I stream - at least it pays slightly better. I want (need?) musicians to keep making music, so I try to pay them when they do
