Easter is about deliverance at base. And that’s an idea that can be embraced whether or not you share a belief in the specific Christian account. Stories of deliverance are common to all people. They are the pillars of our human hope — that our present difficulty would not last. Our great books and cinema […]

And He Was Numbered With the Transgressors
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Performed by the ipoetlaureate d/b/a sintax.the.terrific and playdough (collectively deepspace5). Music produced by Alex Goose. Today’s song blog here: [wpaudio url=”https://thefreshjunket.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/98dbc-02-rise-1.mp3″ dl=”0″ text=”Rise“]
Ten Hours Too Far
DISCLAIMER: All of the following should be filed under the designation: “Anglo-Saxon People Problems.” Last week was some sort of live action death by chocolate. Every possible good thing in my life conspiring to murder me. You know that scene in Jim Carrey’s The Grinch Who Stole Christmas where he’s subjected to an involuntary “pudding […]
Everybody is Listening In
TEDxGreenville gets busy on a live track. Thanks to Wise, Bolick, and von Frank. Oh and Happy Anniversary to my wife! Written and recorded by the TEDxGreenville community live on stage.

BREAKTHROUGH
That’s the theme of tomorrow’s TEDxGreenville. It might also be what I do to this picture frame window to my right if this week doesn’t end soon. I present third, in the first afternoon session, immediately after lunch. I have between 8-10 minutes to perform a song, explain the entire evolutionary history of recorded music, […]
Almost Famous
I meant to get this out last week. The buzz has simmered some now. I had a show last Friday night and as I was walking through the lobby I saw, on an overhead monitor, George Clooney in handcuffs. He and his dad were protesting Omar Al-Bashir outside the Sudanese embassy, when they were arrested. […]
Tim(e) Square
The New York Jets officially announced Tim Tebow yesterday as their backup quarterback. And, starting underwear model. (Are the Jets running a football squad or a modeling agency? Sanchez and Tebow have now appeared in more sultry advertising than a Hardee’s cheeseburger. If Quinn and Brady and Cam could be traded to NY as cornerbacks, […]
The Stream
Sorry that things have been a little slow. Preparations for TEDxGreenville, in addition to the normal ramping of spring activities, have left me pretty thin. I’m hoping a couple more posts before this Friday’s presentation. Until then, an oldie from the archives, below, in light of the Supreme Court’s consideration of the health care bill […]
Keeping it Lorax Real
Seriously, who knew that the best two freestylers in the fam, were my 5 and 6 year old daughters?? I mean they’ve been around it a good bit, but this all started today. Like never done it before. I was spitting a little over beats on my phone in the mini-van on the way to […]
Joey Brackets
This is why song blogging exists: so, you can have an anthem written about an event while you’re still experiencing it. I donated my lunch break to your rap news benefit. You’re welcome. Enjoy surreptitiously live streaming the games all day from your desk. You’re boss won’t notice. She’s doing the same. Well, maybe that’s […]
