You do this long enough and your mind starts conjuring those paranoid murals of irrationality out of news articles, linked by pushpins and colored string and collaged clipped phrases, indicating that surely all the world’s events are connected. Gibson in Conspiracy Theory or Crowe in A Beautiful Mind. The Heat won the Championship. Deadly Colorado […]

Year of the Rabbit Continued and a Happy President’s Day
I’m embarrassed with all this self-promotion. No I’m not. Well, sort of. Nope. Not at all. It’s just been a good week or so. I can’t help it. First, the TEDx announcement and now this. Sphere of Hip Hop has named me Emcee of the Year, mostly on the strength of The Prince with a […]
MLK: Work to Ride
Disclaimer: Some of my best friends are black. No, seriously. It’s become trite to talk about race issues in terms of opportunity. It’s very typical to say that certain minority groups, including African Americans, need to be given more opportunity — in education, in business, in management, in coaching. But, I think we misperceive what […]
Uncharitable Donations
You may remember this from last year. I get knocked out by a Salvation Army volunteer. Make sure to check back all week. Good end of year material in the works.

A Christmas Carol
A new carol for the holiday. A chance to Charlie-Brown-back-to-life a difficult season for a friend or neighbor whose year has been less than ideal. I don’t hide my affection for Christmas, it’s sacred and it’s secular. These months, I’m filled. As we guard our hearts against the excesses of wanting and needing and decorating […]
A Pink Thursday Delayed
I had a late night. A friend shattered his leg playing ball. Spent the better part of the evening at the ER. So, I wasn’t able to get a song done. I’ll post by tonight. Silver lining, he’s doing better, and I got this hard picture of me mugging for the hospital ID: Even still, […]
Happy Welcomeaccepting!
Still feeling a little under the weather but I still have so much to be “you’re welcome” for. While so many are giving thanks this holiday for the blessings in their lives, I thought I would graciously accept some of their gratitude. So, to all the family, friends, fans, colleagues, pets, haters, supporters, and crew […]
Taking Damage
I’m telling you, this is the future of music right here. Song blogging. I love it. People can just imagine a song topic they’d like to hear done, and I oblige. It’s greatly invigorating. Others will eventually do it better. Just remember, it started here first. I received a request concerning a song topic. Sam, […]
