Coming in for landing, Friends! It’s been a long haul but the premiere of my HBO special, From Bleak to Dark, is the end of this story arc. I’m trying not to feel it as the crashing of a wave. I felt ...

Brining, People! It takes me a long time to come around to trying things. I literally just recently took the low E string off my Les Paul Jr. and tuned it to an open G like Keef! I learned how to ...

Clean slate, People. After my forced, jarring cleanse for a colonoscopy last weekend I’ve decided to go plant based for as long as I can take it.  It’s not great. I don’t like the ...

Welcome back, People. That’s a reset. Old school radio stuff. Not hard to learn and totally unnecessary in podcasting. Just saying.  I think I need a reset and today might be the day. As I ...

Rock, People! Me and the fellas played Largo last night. I have to be honest. I never in my life thought that I would ever play with a band. I’d given up on that idea a long time ago. I never thought ...

Multitasking, People! Or not finishing a lot of things simultaneously. Since I’ve been home I’ve been immersed in cleaning, fixing and organizing. I don’t think there’s an end to it on any level. ...

Here we go again, People. I’m sorry. I mean Happy New Year! Seriously, let’s make a go of it.  In retrospect, last year wasn’t that bad. That being said, I have a hard time really knowing what ...

Holidays were okay, Folks! So far. I guess we’re almost out of the tunnel. I hope yours were good!  I’m in New Mexico which can be pretty bittersweet as time goes on. As many of you know my ...

Happy Hanukkah, Everyone! In all honesty I didn’t know it had even started until midday yesterday. I guess it actually hadn’t yet but it was close. The liability of being a Jew alone, dating a ...

Well, that’s all, Folks! It’s done. I taped the new hour for HBO last Thursday. A year and half of touring about 90 minutes of material landed me at Town Hall in NYC for two shows to try to make an ...

Home stretch, Folks. Asheville and Nashville. I’m beat. I flew into Charlotte on Thursday night and picked up a Chrysler 300. It felt like a sleek tank. I’d never driven one before. I drove into the Blue ...

Stuffed, People. I really did it. I am sure I am not alone. After Thanksgiving dinner I swore off food. The next day I realized that was totally unreasonable and, not unlike the rest of you, I ate more ...

Oregon, People! Beautiful state. No doubt. It seems I am willing to go to almost any length to avoid flying in and out of LAX. I flew into Portland on Thursday, rented a car and drove to Eugene on Friday. ...

It’s okay, today, People. It seems we’ve been given a reprieve on one front. The midterms were a lot closer than expected and we are neck and neck with the fascists. Yay? It seems that enough regular ...

Out of Texas, Y’all. I did a major driving run with Laura Beitz from Oklahoma City down to Houston, stopping in Dallas and San Antonio. All the shows were good. I hadn’t been to OKC in a long time. I got ...

Mystical, People. I try to wrangle my mind as much as possible. It does wander. Predictable places and patterns. Usually not otherworldly. It will make some random connections and try to make sense of ...

Long trip, People. Still in London. It’s weird how untethered I used to get traveling. Like as soon as I left where I lived I became totally ungrounded and painfully lonely. Almost like I was invisible. ...

Ciao, Manhattan. I think I actually experienced an identifiable good time. NYC was amazing. It’s always exciting to be back in the city. The last few times I’ve been there though I felt like I was ready ...
