And as a Palate Cleanser…
Here’s a song from one of my garage compilations (and no, I didn’t pay those prices). It’s one of those songs I enjoy hearing, but then forget that I own until the next time I hear it on the college station, … Continue reading

A Note on “Privilege”
I’m a straight white guy. I didn’t ask for any of those things, but that’s the way it turned out. However, there is a segment of the population that declares that I am the beneficiary of those things, and that … Continue reading

Down in The West Texas Town of El Paso…
