We could be in a world of hurt…
One of the scarier aspects of COVID-19 is its changing weirdness, not only in the quickly sprouting variants and mutations of the original coronavirus, but how science can do so much in the time we have — COVID is only about 18-19 months old, we here in the US have known about it now for…
As I posted last week, the 1990s were the best era of rock music, with the so-called ‘alternative rock’ really gaining a hold on the musical airwaves.

In the wake of the George Floyd verdict, one of my all-time favorite songs, which comes from one of the most-neatest period of musical memories, the 1990s. Although I grew of age in the English invasion of the late 1960s, and the emergence of the American rock sound of the 1970s, the 90s carried the…
A most-wonderful surpise! Despite the presented evidence, I wasn’t sure if the jury would act in a humane fashion and find the asshole guilty of murdering George Floyd last May.

Hopping-mad crazy the world this Monday afternoon with shit sticking to every corner and crevice of society and feeling like the whole apparatus could explode in a screaming fireball at any second.
