Random thoughts about the CEO who got killed. A breath of springtime.

Still here. 

I wanted to share one more song demo from my upcoming album. I felt I needed to tell two stories to put the song in context.

I read this poem every year for the anniversary of his murder. It seems more timely than ever.

On BlueSky, people are posting twenty book covers of the books that impacted their lives, without any explanation or illumination of their importance. So I'm doing a podcast to accompany my choices.

Passed a major milestone today: I uploaded my first test audio file to ACX—The Amazon platform for audiobooks—and it passed! I was so nervous; the technical requirements are rigid and unyielding. So ... I'm including the reading of "Straight Facts About Flapping" here. 

Listen and learn about Flapping, grasshopper.

I remember, as a child in the fifties, the Republicans screaming about the Communist threat and the arch-enemy Russia. Reagan called Russia the evil empire. We now have a Russian asset heading into the White House and the Republican party has metastasized into a coalition of grifters and Trump sycophants, all of whom seem to be sucking on Putin's tit, or something.

Another year, that much wiser, oh yeah. I'm grateful, although the view is very different from here, much to ponder.

I had a revelation the other day about how I could make money. Any number of people have told me over the years I should do voice-over work. For whatever reason, I poo-pooed the idea. And then I was researching how to produce an audiobook of my own book, "The Rise & Fall of the HoneyBun Empire" and found this website where I could hire voice talent and it just hit me: "Hey I could do that!"

Better late than never.
