About Me

So it's like this: I'm a writer by profession, and a music-writer by aspiration. Well...more of a popular music historian, really, and I like to think I have an informed and intelligent perspective on these things. So that's what I'm writing about here, hoping that you'll help me develop that perspective.

In the dream where you show up to school naked, why do you never go swimming?

Because my final exam started ten minutes ago and I'm just now running to class without even time to put on clothes. When am I gonna go swimming?
