Pretty much the last thing I remember was turning that last curve. I guess it was Avenue A at Esplanade. That’s what the papers said, anyway. Vince was driving his Pantera. I was pretty far gone, I know that much. Not only that, Vince, who still managed convincing me he was good to drive [...]

Sorry, I’ve been a bit distracted lately. Know The Rock Underground Kill Thrill Recreational Users Kinfolk True Revival Upstanding [...] How many people in a band is too many? To me, it is simply a question of how well you can pull it off live. Use as many instruments as you want within the recording process, but when you bring 10 people on the road, please make it rock.

Sometimes I would switch over to AM [...] Electra got her first radio today. The significance of this is timely. In this household, and in countless households throughout the world, our children are growing up immersed in the visual. TV, movies, DVDs, YouTube, Facebook, etc . . . it all adds up to a virtually visual bombardment that is is almost impossible [...] Dear President Leebron, Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed letters responding to concerns over the sale of KTRU’s FM license and transmitter.
