“Just because God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life, doesn’t mean your music has to suck.”
That was the commerical I heard recently on Revolution, SIRIUS Channel 67. It’s a great station for someone like me who likes loud guitars and Biblically-based lyrics. For those of you not familiar with it, it’s [...]

Dick Cheney’s School of Quail Hunting
‘A cheerful heart works well like a medicine…’, even though at times I tend to think laughter is NOT the best medicine, but that the best medicine is…well, medicine. I have a tendency to be wrong at times….
Nevertheless, in the spirit of the Arc of the Penguin, I bring you Dick Cheney’s Quail Hunting School…

When Church Gets In The Way
"You see, I avoided religious people most of my life. Maybe it had something to do with having a father who was Protestant and a mother who was Catholic in a [place]where the line between the two was, quite literally, a battle line. Where the line between church and state was… well, a [...]

Thomas Young Speaks
Some guys make an impression that sticks.

Deep, meaty, unapologetic [...] -
A Sabbath Tuesday…

In the meantime, here are some of last week’s favorite links people have sent me. (I do get by with [...] -

Revolution Calling: Mindcrime II
Today is the 62nd birthday of Graham Nash, …yes, of Crosby, Stills, and NASH. Graham is a tremendous songwriter and performer. Feliz Cumpleanos, amigo.
On a bigger (to me) note, it has been announced that Mindcrime II will be released in the spring. The original Operation: Mindcrime (1988) and subsequent live box set, Operation: LIVECrime (2001), [...]
