Call them God given, natural or rights of man, they exist and they all stem from self ownership.

A conversation that was, in part, inspired by the great comedian, Bill Burr, talking about the great drummer, Tony Williams.

Along the way I discuss the fallacy of rock drummers commonly called "greatest of all time", I mention Charlotte Iserbyt, John Taylor Gatto and I point out that along with the "glut of crap" we also have a glut of quality that's easily accessible.

I talk about art transcending history, the evolution of the high tech busker and reminisce about spending much of my youth at Snake’s Pool Hall.

Edward Bernays, Propaganda, Waynewood, PR, Publicists...COVID numbers...and some silly music business stuff.

We are going through hard times. Is it fair to compare them to the "Great Depression"? How do hard times effect entertainment and art?

Plus new album release details.
