I live directly in the Path of Totality (Greenville, SC), which I’m pretty sure is an Alice in Chains album. We’ve been a recently growing and popular destination for industry and the arts and cyclists and beards. Now even major galactic bodies are coming to see what all the buzz is about. So, I’d like […]

Deep Impact
So the government has announced a special operations exercise called Jade Helm 15. It will run from July 15 through September 15 of this year in various southwestern states, including Texas, New Mexico, and California. It will ostensibly involve tactical maneuvering of military personnel in civilian settings, like neighborhoods and homes. In this same basic […]
City Lights
I grew up 20 minutes south of Baltimore. We used to chill at its Inner Harbor. The Constellation is docked there. I took some lady friends to a place called City Lights. Paddle boats. And the Aquarium. I haven’t been there in 17 years, immediately after our wedding and honeymoon. We had a Ford Explorer […]
Baltimore
There’s nothing seemingly more human than the capacity to forget the humanity on other side of the riot line. More to follow. My hometown. Written and performed by sintax.the.terrific. Produced by DJ Kurfu Today’s blong here:
Freedom Trail Reprise
I’ll plagiarize myself from a year ago. I can’t say it any differently: If you’ve ever been to Boston you’ve probably been forced to walk, likely by a mom or wife, some portion of the “Freedom Trail” against your will. You have to wonder why one must abandon so much self determination to walk a […]
Where I’m From
It’s sort of a joke among friends that I claim everywhere as my hometown. So, I’m originally from Detroit. Well, actually I was born at the University of Michigan hospital in Ann Arbor. But, we lived in Pontiac. For four whole years. So, I’m really from Pontiac. But, I claim all three. And, I’ve seen […]
In Orca News
In the words of Calhoun Tubbs, “Wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Hear it goes!” At exactly one, I am the world’s leading expert on Sea World Orca raps. No one has dedicated more of their life’s work to the rapping of Orca related topics than me. To the extent such dedication […]
64
That’s how old Diana Nyad is now, as she makes her 5th attempt to swim the 103 miles from Cuba to Florida. She’s nearly there. I expressed my infatuation with her last year, here. I had so much fun at the turn of the millennium that I vowed, with the aid of bio-engineering and blood […]
Coming Out
I don’t know why I’ve chosen to do it now and in this way. I apologize, in advance, to so many of you who won’t understand. I know it will catch many by surprise, considering the image I project in my music life. Others may have long suspected. Regardless, I am aware that your view […]
The Rule of Two
We were warned. There are always two. Apprentice and Master. We thought George Lucas was the Master. The genius who brought us the greatest Sci-Fi universe ever conceived. But, in the immortal words of Ben Kenobi, “There is another.” And, so apparently George was only a kind of Lord Vader to Disney’s Emperor. Which makes […]
