I owe my arts journalism career to a scathing review of this album I wrote for @sunflowernews while the entertainment editor was away over the summer break. Switched away from news and never looked back.
.@Metallica's eighth studio album, St. Anger, turns 20 today.
See where it ranks compared to the rest of the band's discography: cos.lv/K0FC50OFCn7
This article is so good. And not just because I fit squarely in the sad dad demographic.
.@TheNational reminds me of being young & hungry in NYC, but I also can’t think of another band that articulates the strange grief of adulthood with such elegance & candor. If you wanna read me going long on sadness & yearning & weird goodbyes, here is my @NewYorker profile!
I am not strong enough to leave on my own so I’m going to turn this account into a parody so I am removed from the platform. Good bye!

I know you’re all dying to know and the answer is … The Hold Steady is the No. 1 band on my “have never seen live” list.
I’ve seen 1,000+ concerts in the last 20 years. There are very few bands that I’ve wanted to see that I haven’t. I’m lucky. But there are still elusive ones. And the #1 band of my “Must See But Haven’t Yet” list is tomorrow, God willing and the Covid don’t rise.
The three teachers at Wichita State most responsible for mentoring this fledgling writer into a journalist were Randy Brown, Les Anderson and Dan Close. All of them are gone, and so too is that era of the journalism department. RIP, Dan. And thank you.
Dan Close, associate professor in the Elliott School of Communication, died Saturday, May 28.

Just saw one of those posts on my Instagram feed that’s like “Would you eat this? Yes or no?” and it was just a piece of pepperoni pizza.
Look. This isn’t like the Royals’ World Series win. Or the Chiefs’ Super Bowl comeback. But if I wasn’t a Premier League fan before, consider this the day I knew I was hooked. Sometimes 17th is as good as 1st! Leeds Leeds Leeds!!!
