It’s rare that I stop and analyze the lyrics of a song. Usually it’s a matter of latching onto a few hummable measures and repeating it inside my head until I get sick of it. Annoying as hell when trying to fall asleep. So this past week’s...

One of the more bizarre jobs I ever had was writing copy for thirty second radio ads. I was living in South Florida for a couple of years, certainly not by choice. While I hated every single facet of living there I loved the work. I did a bang-up job on a...

Who the hell is he? His name only comes up around this time of year. Every Spring somebody ascends and sitteth next to Pontius Pilate. And why is he a Pilate and not just a Pilot? Is Jesus sitting on a Pilates ball? Pontius does have a decent sense of fashion....
