Double exposure, not to be confused with “that double vision” from the 1978 release “Double Vision” by Foreigner sung by Lou Gramm (an amazing rock and roll voice that one), and definitely not to be confused with how the world may look on New Year’s morning after your attempt to drink away the memory of […]

Are you keeping it real? Yeah, I don’t even know if we say that anymore. I’d say “Frfr” or “Keep it 100”, but then I wouldn’t be keeping it real, because you’d know that I asked AI for a “2025 expression for keeping it real” and then I had to go look up “Frfr” only […]

I wrote to Tom Truitt. Tom is a cool guy. He gets smart people together for these monthly webinar hangouts where they chit-chat about all the smart ideas they’ve have and all the smart stuff they know and all the smart stuff they’re doing. For obvious reasons, the show’s called “The Smartest People in the […]

Not my baby. My baby’s carburetor seems to be just fine from what I can tell. It’s some blues dude on the radio singing about how his baby’s got a bad carburetor. We’re in Scott’s garage and the only channel he can get up here in the hills is K-Jazz. Apparently, Sunday afternoon is all […]

DistroKid sent me an email. For those of you not in the entertainment, music-type biz, DistroKid is how folks like me who make music, get their music up on Spotify and Apple Music and the dozens of other music streaming sites that all seem to have weird names and that no one in the world […]

I have to admit when I saw the white smoke floating out of the chimney I was ready to yank off my football shaped hat and spike it into the communion plate. I had a really good name picked out too. POPEPOP – it’s dope and it’s a palindrome. I would have been both the […]

And it was pretty damn fun. And I never knew a mosh pit could come together so quickly in a movie theater, but hey, it’s Vox Lumiere Metropolis and as this lovely gentleman said… “I felt like I was baptized.” Yeah, coming to the show is a lot like getting baptized, except you don’t […]

We broke Scott’s boombox. Sure he’s had it since the night after he saw “Say Anything” in 1989, but that’s not the point. We broke Scott’s boombox and we feel bad about that. Sure, it weighed 40+ pounds and OSHA Regulations required at least two people spotting you if you wanted to lift it above […]

No, I’m not talking about winning the lottery, or being struck by lightning, or getting some high quality footage of Bigfoot in the Easter clearance aisle at Walgreens, although I’m pretty sure that’s who I saw yesterday and they have a real sweet tooth. They didn’t leave me even one box of 30% off purple […]

We’ve been doing a lot of “weeding” lately. Not garden weeding. I don’t have that problem. I live in New York City (for now). But I didn’t have this problem when I didn’t live in New York City, because nothing in any garden that has been so unfortunate as to have me as an owner […]

I was looking for that special headline. The one that would grab your attention and make your index finger twitch with anticipation of clicking your computer mouse or tapping your phone to dive into the magic that is our weekly quality email time together. Instead I ended up going down the rabbit hole of “amazing […]

Ist das Ihr Maschinenmensch? It’s a question you’re gonna hear more and more. As you’ve probably noticed, there are a LOT of Evil Robots running around these days and it’s only fair to ask who the hell they belong to. It’s hard to tell sometimes. Metropolis director Fritz Lang figured out how to do it. […]

“You were supposed to buy a charm to keep the evil spirits away from the kids.” ~ Someone in New York The things you hear on the streets of New York. There’s so much to unpack here. It’s a bit out there even by New York standards, but with all that’s going on lately… maybe […]

Los Angeles was our home for over 25 years. It was where Victoria and I met, fell in love and where, with the help of our incredibly talented friends – musicians, singers, costumers, lighting designers, sound engineers, video designers and choreographers – we were able to take a crazy idea and bring it to life.
