The South, People! I’m in it. It’s different. I’ve been going to the South to perform for a long time. I am always apprehensive before I go because of assumptions about the people and politics and ...

Snow, People. I’m glad I have the driving chops to navigate snow. They’ve come in pretty handy my last couple of trips.I was excited to wear layers and a parka with fur around the hood. I like snow and ...

Pop, People. I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. I never do. I like how it's always misconstrued as condescension or some kind of posture. I just have no idea how to watch any football, or most sports, ...

It’s a haul, Folks. I write this thing every week. I have no idea how many people read it. Sometimes I dread it but I do it. It’s good to write. Helps one think. I just got back from a road trip to ...

The pushback, People. I’m back in it. I remember doing comedy in the days, months, years after Trump became president the first time. It was tense. I never know who’s in the room and what they may ...

It’s happening, People. The war on tolerance has been waged and won. The fight against liberal democracy, inclusive culture, civil rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, immigrants' rights and science has ...

Harrowing, People. It has been a stressful, terrible few days. The fires in Los Angeles are ongoing and terrifying. I am lucky as of this writing. I am safe. The animals are safe. Kit is safe. Kit’s ...

Hey, People. I’m not losing my mind but it seems overloaded and shorting out a bit. I don’t acknowledge burnout is real but maybe it is. I am not sure what to do about it. It’s been a rough few days. ...

Happy New Year, Folks? I guess we can dream and wish. Stay in the day. It’s the feeling of powerlessness and isolation that is daunting. Even though people who believe in democracy are not really the ...

Happy Holidays, People! Or do what you can. Do the best you can. You can get through it. Or enjoy. This time of year is always weird for me. I wasn’t really brought up with holidays in the house for ...

The Boss, People. I’m flying into New Jersey to do a little part in the Springsteen biopic, Deliver Me From Nowhere. I get to pretend like I’m a recording engineer for a few days.  Knobs and such. ...

A bit of relief, People. I’m weird. Emotionally screwed up. I have a handle on it for the most part. I accept who I am, ish. It’s exciting when new information that pertains to who you think you are ...

Back in LA, People. New Mexico was good. I had time to think. Too much. There was no TV where I was staying and I tried to stay off the phone and the computer. I have to be honest. My brain ...

Back in Burque, Folks. Been home in New Mexico for a few days. Heading up to see the old man today. I don’t know what to expect but I know I can't expect him to be better. It’s kind of amazing that I am ...

Ringo, People. I met Ringo Starr. I know maybe you think because I interview so many people and have met so many people that it’s not a big deal. I learned my lesson when I talked to Paul. I wasn’t ...
