The thing about having social media but no followers is that I might as well walk to the 50 yard line of a huge empty stadium and say; "Man that was the best burrito I have ever had." It has the same effect.

Elvis Costello & the Attractions' second Dallas date: May 26, 1978, at the Convention Center Theater. Audience-made keepsake sounds like it was recorded in a back pocket, but solid. And they play "Dallas version" of "Less Than Zero."

Less than a month ago I posted that I needed to do more with my writing. I submitted a story to Wicked Shadow Press for consideration in their Halloween anthology and just heard from them that they are accepting it for publication!

Spoiler alert and whatnot. You don't have to completely understand how someone lives their life in order to LET someone live their life.

I was going thru old emails and I found some from a publisher (little known fact, I am a twice published author) and I started reading some of the things I submitted...I am a really good writer. Why don't I do more with it? Right now my brain is focused on lyrics but there are other ideas in there.

I hear the soft wind of all the sad sighs
I hear the thunder of all of your lies
It’s all there for anyone to see
In the roiling storms in your eyes.
