Chairman Ralph's Ministry Of Truth

****11/02/19: JUST ADDED: My epic, sprawling chat with David Dann, about his new book, GUITAR KING: MICHAEL BLOOMFIELD AND HIS LIFE IN THE BLUES. Dig in!

PLUS: My chat with Michael Zadoorian, author of BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, along my impressions of the MC 50 show, Grand Rapids style.

AND:  I WATCH THE BIRDS, my annual free EP that coincides with my wife's birthday, and celebrates it...go right over to Featured Songs, and grab it! 

PLUS: My impressions of the MC50 show, Grand Rapids style.

AND: "Hit 'Em Again, Ron" -- my tribute to the late Stooges guitarist, Ron Asheton, recorded live on 6/24/19, on the Spoken Word Tracks page. PLUS: Appearances from the Box Factory For The Arts, including more material from 6/24/19, and the previous spoken word event there, on 4/23/19.

AND: The latest reviews and related activities surrounding We Are The Clash, which continues to draw interest from surprising quarters -- have a look below, and see for yourself!

PLUS: A live medley of the Civil Rights era hymn of resistance, "We Shall Overcome," plus "People Have The Power" (Patti Smith), and an instrumental bridge that should sound vaguely familiar.

PLUS: A 1:50 (in other words, nearly two hour) audio clip from Philadelphia, PA (7/10/18), where Mark Andersen and I appeared at Brickbat Books for our book, WE ARE THE CLASH: REAGAN, THATCHER & THE LAST STAND OF A BAND THAT MATTERED...plus, our pre-event interview with Joseph Gervasi, for Loud Fast Philly...over on the Spoken Word Tracks page. Our 60-minute clip from Politics & Prose (Washington, DC, 7/06/18) is there, too.

JUST MOVED: All White Summer concert reviews and interview outtakes are now collected in their own special section, titled (wait for it)...White Summer! 

DELETED (FOR NOW): HAPPY TRAILS (LITTLE BUDGIE IS 47)...because I only have so much space. It'll return at some point, I'm sure. :-) PLUS: Tracks from 4/28/17 (live at the St. Joseph Library). If you don't see a particular track or title there, it's because...well, it's most likely been deleted (but may return, if individual circumstances allow -- just keep checking back!). AND: "My Cousin Kevin" (4/14/18 live version).

Comment capability's back for now, but stay on topic. If not...I'm taking the toys away again! :-) In the meantime: stay cool. ****
