During the day, I work on brand management and growth for a paper company in suburban Chicago. It's a special kind of paper company. The rest of my time is spent immersed in music - making it, living it.

When we listen to a favorite songwriter’s demos, it makes them more human and helps us understand the crewtive process. Every somg starts as a sketch and then only with time, effort, and craft does it become a track. youtu.be/bRo7lX8Eym0

When I joined BlueSky, I followed a whole pack of people from the political arena. Now it’s like an echo chamber. Unfollowing one at a time. Taking too long. I’m only really interested in music.

I grew up in the 70s loving Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan; and I felt that I’d missed the struggle. Today, I understand the struggle never stops. Fascism slept for a spell. The next fight is now.

I support the American Music Fairness Act that would finally provide royalty payments to recording artists from radio plays. Most people don't seem to know that radio has never paid artists. It was exempted in the 1940s and never revised. 🎧 musicfairnessaction.org/write-your-r...

History teaches us - even recent history - that drumming an epithet like “Marxist” diminishes the intended stain over time. Somebody could tell the MAGA faction. Or maybe they’ll just find out anyway. Does anybody remember when “Liberal” was “bad” enough (I’m looking at you, Newt.)

As a DIY podcast host/producer, I’m happy when I capture lightning in a bottle. Yes, production values could be better. Yes, I’m working on video/audio capture (it’s audio only now). But this conversation with Matthew Paige of DeeOhGee makes me happy. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Here’s the new content paradigm: Publish on a purpose built platform such as Substack or Medium. Cross post on a sharing platform stock as BlueSky or Reddit. In contrast, the old paradigm was post to Twitter and make it “sticky.” So, are we seeing the demise of “stickiness”?
