I had the pleasure of appearing on Center Stage: An Abandoned Albums Podcast w/Keith R. Higgons. Our conversation centered around 90s grunge/alt music, culture mental health, writing, etc. Listen here or anywhere you get podcasts. #podcast #music #90s

Fired up for my buddy @RobJanicke, whose 1st book is out:

“Slacker - 1991, Teen Spirit Angst and the Generation it Created”

I know it has been a labor of love for Rob. Grunge, alternative, punk & hip-hop of the early 90s? Love it. Can’t wait to dig in.

Congrats, brother! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

If your TV did this when you turned it on and/or off as a kid, we understand one another.

“And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Ooh well, whatever, nevermind”…

The start of a seismic shift in music & culture began on this date, 9/10 in 1991 with the release of “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. #nirvana #90s

Finally got to see LOLLA on @paramountplus & not only was it an amazing documentary (I was at 91-94, 07) but it contains one of the best quotes ever about hypocrisy in the analysis of song lyrics. @FINALLEVEL @lollapalooza

“I understand that if you’re as successful and respected as Jack White is, you can pull off a stunt like this. That being said, White is still a businessman, and this type of promotion was risky, to say the least.” — @RobJanicke

It’s a good thing Eddie Vedder played basketball…
