Today is the anniversary of Live Aid, the historic benefit concert for African famine relief that occurred in London and Philadelphia in 1985. I watched the whole thing, calling in sick to my job doing flower deliveries. The event was carried on broadcast television in addition […]

As a longtime fan of Daniel Lanois, the now-legendary producer and guitarist, I am pleased to recommend his recent autobiography Soul Mining: A Musical Life. The book is so detailed and revealing of how he helped create some of the best music of our generation, it should […]

Brian Eno‘s recent comments about Israel are forcing me to reevaluate my support of one of my favorite artist/producers. My introduction to his music and philosophies about ten years later was through the Talking Heads albums he produced.
