Tough Room

It's a common complaint among musicians. Where are the crowds? Why are they bitching about a five dollar cover? Why is Memphis so difficult?

Not that I have the answers, but in this case I can shed a bit of light on the subject. Maybe.

Fact of the matter is that makes for a tough room just about every place you go to see a show.

Dividing By Zero

We sure have become a divided nation. Over everything. It started with the guy in the White House, maybe sooner and now us Americans seem to love to get into a debate over anything and everything. Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip? Sardines on a sandwich or no?

There is this school of thought that being divisive is a bad thing. But is it, really?

An Evolution is Coming

Over the years, From Radioland has gone from being a weird, long, rambling thing to what it is now. Rather concise and somewhat structured. Guess what? I'm gonna change things up a bit.

What is currently in the show is not going anywhere. We're just going to add a few things to the production. I'll tell you about some of these changes in this episode.

That Damned Lemon Tree

I know I am not hallucinating. I can't be the only one who has thought about this. I am talking about this weird hobby with some middle aged men. Growing a lemon tree. At first, this seemed like some strange dystopian past-time.

Dig deep enough, though and there appears to be something a little odd about this and what this activity is doing to the guys who are participating.

Ancient History

Consider your definition of the word "ancient". As you'll discover in this episode, that word seems to be defined by your perspective. Right? Makes sense. That is until you realize at what speed certain landmarks in our society have come and passed by over the course of time.

Keep in mind, this isn't meant to be depressing. It's a simple fact. Society seems to be moving at a blazing speed. The question though, in what direction?
