Elvis Presley would have been 91 today.

A few years back, I had thoughts.

That was the B-side. The A-side track is me suggesting that AI would be used to rewrite history.

My first song that will definitely never be on MTV. I had more of a VH1 sensibility to be honest, but this song won't be there either.

Pre-release "Night Guard" at SoundCloud.

362 - Dolls
Another piece from 2021, and another piece where the reason for the title eludes me but perhaps I may have been from looking at some of the bizarre dolls photographed by Hans Belmer.

356 - Political Malfeasance
Was originally going to title this political violence, referring to the violence being committed upon citizens by the morons “in charge,” but that seemed a little extreme so I toned it back.
