Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Red Hot Chili Peppers has always been one of those bands that I can take or leave. They have a couple songs I like (Soul To Squeeze, Under the Bridge, My Friends), and everything else ranges from meh it’s fine to it’s not fine but I’m not close enough to change it so whatever. Because …

I need to confess something, because the TV is slowly driving me insane. There’s this commercial that keeps playing “Mr. Roboto” by Styx, and every time it plays, I want to hide. Here is why. Seven years ago, I was at one of the Toronto accessibility conferences. I attended a session about considering the elderly …
Administrators at an elementary school in Waukesha, Wisconsin, banned this nice song about living in a happy world where it’s ok to love everyone and to be who you are from being performed by first graders during a concert because rainbows are gay or some shit.

It’s been a while since I’ve written about Tansy. In fact I’m overdue. She turned 12 at the end of May, so that’s a big one. I talked to the people who are taking care of her, and she seems to be very much enjoying herself, as are they. She has them wrapped around her …
Do you put the radio on for the dog when you go out? It won’t keep your pet calm, study finds Science is science I guess, but anecdotally, I’m not buying this one. I can’t speak for Domino yet because he’s only been here for a few weeks and we haven’t needed to leave him …
Here’s Waylon Jennings with his classic, “You’ve Got a Homely Daddy That’ll Walk the Line”. I can’t pin that one on my dad the way I can with so many of these. This one’s all on me, I’m afraid. I was a small child, but still. But fear not, I can still go back to …
I’m pretty sure that today is the first day in my life that I’ve watched MTV. I don’t remember seeing it on any of my trips to the States or during visits with the various friends and family who had the cool old big ass satellite dishes. And no, I’m not counting the useless Canadian …
