• Mad, Bad, Impossible to Know

  For all we know about Lord Byron, he was still something of a mystery. Two new biographies fill in the gaps -- one with idle speculation, one with imagination.

• Mellowdrone - A Demonstration of Intellectual Property

  Most artists don't really have a "message", they're usually just starved for attention. Treat them like you would any 3 year old. Give them candy and watch them shut the fuck up.

• It's been a long time ...

  Then one day (circa 1990), after the tape deck in my car conked out, I was forced to listen to a classic rock radio station. And I really listened. These Zeppelin guys were really pretty good musicians, I discovered.
