Okee dokee folks… I am seriously worried about funding for the arts and for that matter, most other programs that rely on government resources. The Mango Moron has been putting his swishy, Sharpie signature on so many unconstitutional executive orders that it’s hard to keep track. Can Canada please annex New England? At least there […]
Okee dokee folks… The internet is a vast resource of knowledge, opinion, and a lot of bullshit, but occasionally I come across tidbits that are profoundly stated and I feel that I must share them. One of my Facebook friends wrote this about musicians and I could not have said it better: “Singers, songwriters, and […]
Okee dokee folks… We are facing the recrudescence of the mango moron and a return to a dark and dumb age. It’s just unbelievable to me that we have to put up with his shit once again. UGH! It’s time for protest music to make a major resurgence. “Art is a weapon and as deadly […]
Okee dokee folks… If you are a musician or are thinking of buying a gift for a musician then I suggest that you purchase what you need very soon. When the mango moron implements his fool-hearty tariffs, musical instruments and accessories are going to go up in price. These days many of the lower-end instruments […]
Okee dokee folks … I wrote the previous issue’s column before the United States had its recent IQ test. Well, we failed. The dumbing down of America is complete. Ignorant, racist, bigoted, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic, and gullible people have once again hired the most unqualified, vile, criminal, racist, sexually predatory, narcissistic, sociopathic, traitorous “person” to […]
Okee dokee folks… If it wasn’t for music, I wouldn’t know most of the people I know. I decided to follow up on one of my recent columns where I talked about how music is changing the world and how music changed me. It is a change that eventually branches out and touches many lives. […]
Okee dokee folks… I usually don’t see or hear a lot of commercials because I try to stay away from platforms that present them. Unfortunately, I do get exposed to them. If I am subjected to a commercial, I make a mental note that I will never use that product – ESPECIALLY if they interrupt […]
Okee dokee folks … “Happy Farm Aid!” is a phrase that was exclaimed by performers and fans many times over the day at the sold out, 39th annual Farm Aid concert in Saratoga Springs, NY. I should correct myself here though, Farm Aid is much more than a concert. It’s more of a day of […]
Okee dokee folks … Some of my favorite lines from a song are “Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwhile. How on Earth did I get so jaded? Life’s mystery seems so faded” from “Runaway Train” by Soul Asylum. I have identified with those lyrics since I first […]
Okee dokee folks … “Happy Farm Aid!” is a phrase that was exclaimed by performers and fans many times over at the sold out, 39th annual Farm Aid concert in Saratoga, NY. I should correct myself here though, Farm Aid is much more than a concert, it’s more of a day of awareness with a […]
