September 2007


….last night’s post was by far the dumbest item ever posted on this site. I have deleted it. Apologies to those that spent 56 seconds of their day reading it. Some of that leftover late-90’s, ill-conceived vitriol surfacing. Anyone that’s read anything I wrote in the late-90’s (there was only one forum), might recognize it as crap sitting around on the floor. I perpetually have trouble sleeping, and infrequently take Xanax before bed, a drug that last night had a strange reverse, idiotic impact on my brain.

There was a sunnier day that I wrote about the automobile industry on this site. Why did I stop? No reason. Well, I don’t work in the automobile industry anymore. Yes, I did at one point….onstensibly. And yes, it would make a great book. I can run my mouth like a man that knows cars. I have no problem telling you, reader(s), that when I run my mouth like a man that knows cars, I am 98% full of shit. Nevertheless, if qualified, I would have enjoyed making this list (this is where the links work).

The Worst Cars Ever Made

I’m not having “relations” with fellow writer David Dunlap Jr., but here we go with more props. I suppose that Dave and I have been writing for The Memphis Flyer about the same amount of time (7 years), but he’s the one that wrote THIS. Perhaps the best piece of music writing I’ve read in the Flyer, but this style suits me. And I hope that some cargo shorts and birdy unicorn  abstract t-shirts get in a wad over it, though that may be wishful thinking. The good fight in music criticism continues (though we are losing, and by “we” I mean my little secret handshake club of writers that post comments on this site….ok, that’s ridiculous).
