For @ringer I wrote about the extraordinary American life (and sure to be afterlife) of Bob Weir. theringer.com/2026/01/12/mus…

My friends at the @ringer asked me to write some words about Counting Crows in honor of the new documentary they just produced, and I gave them way more words (I'm sure) than they expected. theringer.com/2025/12/19/mus…

This Tedx Talk by @kataiyero has it all, from journalism's "Terminator moment" to the opportunity we have to turn it around — and make it better than ever. Grateful for her spotlighting @BlockClubCHI's story alongside our friends @TheRecordNS. youtube.com/watch?v=NEzMQD…
