A literate and literary rat filled with self-loathing, naiveté, lust,...

When I was six years old, I was writing simple melodies on an old, dignified upright piano which one day appeared in our basement rec room. How and why it got there, I don't recall -- although I do remember watching...

I just found out, via my colleague Troy Williams, that Amy Ray of the band Indigo Girls has written a song about one of Salt Lake City's independent radio stations, and the feisty, passionate and politically active queer community in Utah.

Madonna turns fifty this Saturday, a fact that reminds me I'm getting older too. I believe I still have her debut album in a musty box somewhere, packed securely with a pair of parachute pants.
