I’ll be interviewed live about the push poll call (see below) tomorrow (Tuesday) morning on XM Digital Radio’s POTUS 08 (channel 130) at 7:30AM Eastern (I could use even *more* parentheses if you’re not getting enough…). Those of you who fit both of the criteria of being plugged into digital radio and being up at [...]
Well, it’s been an educational few days (if you haven’t read the post below about the push poll call I got from the Clinton campaign, you might want to scroll down and check it out).
My little phone call recording has gone from Huffington Post to Daily Kos to Politico to ABC news, and it looks [...]
Two really funny vehicular scenes from my last twenty-four hours:
One:
Yesterday a Harley-Davidson pulled by my house and I glanced over at the biker riding a machine with all the auditory subtlety of a jack hammer on a freight train, only to do a double-take: he was talking on a cell phone.
Can you hear me now?
Two:

…I’ve got about twenty-four minutes to go, actually. According to my birth certificate I was born at 11:06AM, forty years ago today. Or almost forty years ago. About twenty-three minutes short.
Had a lovely birthday party with my family last night. I was born on my sister Margaret’s sixth birthday, and to this day Mom still [...]

It’s always an honor when someone covers your song, of course, but there’s something especially cool about having it covered by a Turkish guy in Germany.
He may have missed a bit of the English, but I really like his take on the guitar part — maybe a little more than mine.

I’m waking up in North Carolina this morning, and will be home tomorrow after one more workshop and show this evening.
Had a wonderful show at UNC last night, where we raised some more money for PEG. This last week’s shows have raised about $1500 for projects in Guatemala, most of which will go to support [...]
I’m home for a couple of days and enjoying it while it lasts. Last night Deanna and I went to see my nephew, Nate, in a high school production of Lil Abner. Nate played the part of a pumped up hunk that had been transformed from a scrawny kid by a potent herbal potion. The [...]

Wow! So this is cool…
MJ got an email today from This American Life and they want to license my song Ten and a Half for use on their TV show on Showtime. This American Life is some of the smartest and most fascinating stuff being broadcast these days, and I’m just plain tickled [...]
