He’s still one of Austin’s favorite sons despite attending Texas A&M. I was going to whip out a short entry until I suddenly remembered that I had already written a big spiel about him last year. Well at least he put … Continue reading →

He remains one of America’s most underrated Power Pop artists despite making some of the best records of my generation. Although it was technically released in late 1991, Girlfriend was his overdue breakthrough in 1992 and a big personal favorite of … Continue reading →

It’s not polite to state a lady’s age but hers (rather, the year she was born) is posted in public forums, namely on my Futurama and Simpsons calendars. Johnette first came to my attention 20 years ago when she was the lead … Continue reading →
