POLITICS - CULTURE - TECHNOLOGY

For decades now I have published records, CDs, movies, books and articles. If you read through the bio on this site, you will find more information on all of this than most sane people would find interesting. Many have commented that I seem to spread myself thin across a wide, even scattered, range of activities. But for me, all these things are just different ways of approaching the intersection of art, politics, culture, nature and technology. I hope the threads leading to this intersection will be clear from the postings on this blog. Thanks for visiting.

Sad, sad, sad. Worst case outcome

Lance Cpl. Steven Schulz is one of the many soliders returning from Iraq with severe brain injuries. He is just cognitively rehabilitated enough to experience anguish. “He has told me that he needed to apologize to me for ever joining the Marines,” his mother said. “I say, ‘Son, we can’t look back.’ ”
