I was scrolling through TikTok, as one does nowadays, and out of nowhere, a track slapped me in the face. Not literally (that would be impressive), but it hit me in a way that made me stop, rewind, and say, “What the hell is this, and why does it feel like the exact soundtrack to … Read more
Last week, I got a message telling me that I should “stick to writing about music” instead of talking about disability rights, politics, or whatever else is on my mind. Because, you know, this blog is connected to my radio show, and apparently, that means I’m only allowed to talk about music. So, for all … Read more
I actually got a private message the other day saying that I should get back to telling funny stories and talking about music on this blog. After all, doesn’t this have to do with your radio show? Believe me, I want to do that. But nobody is standing up and saying, “This is fucked.” So … Read more
If you want to know just how far we’ve fallen, look no further than what happened to Rep. Al Green. During Trump’s not-really-a-State-of-the-Union address, Green stood up and called out the lies.

I guess that’s what happens when you’ve spent over three decades in and around the music industry.

This story takes place during those early years when the show was still known by its original title. Some moments stick with you forever—the kind that remind you … Read more
I’ve spent a lot of time adapting my tech setup to work with my disability, and after years of trial and error, I’ve landed on the Apple ecosystem. Not because I think it’s perfect, but because it just works—at least in two key areas that are essential for me: 1. Seamless Dictation – Apple’s built-in … Read more
I recently invited my entire friends list to like and follow the Rolling with Scissors page. I know not everyone pays attention to those invites, and some people just don’t care about following other pages, which is fine. But if you only follow my personal page, you’re going to miss a lot of what I … Read more
I am sick to my stomach. I have never—ever—seen a sitting U.S. president humiliate another world leader like this. Not in my lifetime. Not even close. What happened today in the Oval Office wasn’t diplomacy—it was a disgrace. A national embarrassment broadcast for the world to see. President Donald Trump turned what should have been … Read more
You may have noticed that the only thing I post on social media these days is related to my radio show. That’s not an accident. There’s a reason for it, and it’s worth unpacking. If you’re friends with me on my personal Facebook page, you’ve probably also noticed that the only things I post there … Read more
