According to the Associated Press, this month, forty-three years ago, Bob Dylan and company released what was, arguably, the first music video: D.A.

Died ten years ago today. As a singer, I feel I have some measly credential to say that he had a hell of a voice. I can’t vouch for whether he was a nice guy or a jerk, I never met the man. But I can tell you that a lot of horn […]

Of course it’s me on the left. And yes, “Desperado” was our song. The relationship didn’t last; I can’t be sure, but I think she wanted to hurt me.

Saint Paddy’s Day is over and the Amateur Irish have gone home to pounding skulls believing that Guinness is Good For You, which it is, but not remembering that Too Much Guinness is Bad for Anybody. In […]
