How I Learned to Ditch the Dad Rock and Use Punk-Rock as My Palliative
They\’ve named a genre of music after guys like me. They call it \”dad rock.\” I can\’t decide if I should feel insulted. Maybe Fleet Foxes should feel insulted? I don\’t know. They call it that presumably because it\’s tame, easy on the ears, a palliative narcotic for oldsters like me…so\’s I don\’t get too

Muh Muh Muh My Corona! A Coronavirus Playlist
I don\’t know about you, but I\’m not sure how to feel these days. I wander between a sort of sardonic, sarcastic acceptance of everything and a steel-faced resolve to be strong for my kids and family. But when I take trips to the grocery store in the dark of 6 a.m., only to find

All Hat. No Cattle. 09-10-14
It was the first outing for All Hat, No Cattle on 91.9 The Buzz. I wasn\’t super confident going in, and had to build most of the show on the fly, but all things considered, I hope it was enjoyable enough for the four avid listeners who tuned in. This week\’s edition was kind of
