Fever To Tell
My grandmother can die now. I mean, not that I’d want her to, but… well, you know. I just did an interview with Kelsey Holm of The Waterloo Courier. I talked her ear off for damn near an hour. Despite the countless interviews I’ve conducted, or the few I’ve been the subject of, I still…
Read More“Almost Home” Indianapolis Hootenanny
I’m in Indianapolis. I’m on again in an hour. Fortunately, I slept in today. Somehow I’ve managed to miss this huge storm system that has the Northeast digging out. Yesterday’s drive from Wittenberg to Cincinnati was a piece a’ cake, despite the frozen rain and rush hour traffic. Two hours in the car is nothing…
Read More“Almost Home” Hits Wittenberg U.
I am watching CNN with the ladies of 470 Woodlawn. I’m on the campus of Wittenberg University. It’s drizzling outside. We’re all in sweats. We’re all hung over from last night’s livingroom show.

Breakfast at the La Quinta Inn: Raisin Bran and Mello Yello. I looked down at USA Today just now and thought, “What day is it? Where am I?” Ooooh, right. Raleigh/Durham. North Carolina. Friday morning. Ok, allgood. Everything in it’s right place. This time yesterday morning, everything looked pretty bleak. I was exhausted. My brother…
Read MorePhiladelphia “Summer’s Gone” Tour Report
I’m sitting in my mother’s kitchen eating a bowl of tuna fish and a fistful of tortilla chips. So rocknroll. Jut in from The Point show afterparty, which was at the Wayne Pub (where half the patrons were alumni of my high school). Weird. Anyway, tonight’s show was, as Bono would say, some sort of…
