Steve Jobs passed this week. I don’t need to fill you in on his story. He’s an accepted technological genius of our time. Apple’s products have changed the way we live our lives. I’m not an Apple or Jobs worshiper but our family has nearly the entire product line, in various specs, and has been […]

An Anniversary: One Year of News Rap
October 2011 marks the one year anniversary of this song blog. It is sort of hard to put into words how the benchmark feels. To have memorialized, in music, a year in my life’s reflections on the large and small political and cultural stories of our time, is sort of out of body. I haven’t […]

Unless, you participate in some hot step band troupe, it’s still sort of like ehhhh. Even there, no real celebrity attaches like with their counterparts in sport. More importantly, this time […]
