Wise Madness
Last night I went to the best concerts of my life, it was so great that it overcame my lethargy and energized me to write. The artist was Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway. I won tickets from WFUV. I invited Ellen to go with me. The show was at Tarrytown Music Hall. I have not […]
I’m going to write a blog I should have written eight years ago, immediately after I sinned. In I Claudius Augustus says to Claudius; Your brother Germanicus says you are loyal to three things, Rome, your friends, and the truth. That’s the kind of thing I would like people to say about me.” That’s one […]
Time to write an archetypal Wise Madness, one about concerts. I think those are my most popular entries. On Friday I saw Carolann Solebello joined by special guest Meg Braun at Rockwood Music Hall. Carolann and Meg are both Chicks with Dip which guaranteed that this would be a gathering of the tribe, Carolann plays […]
I was in therapy for a long time, so I learned a few things. I’ve been involved in politics since I was 10, I handed out literature for Eugene McCarthy, so I learned a few things. I read blogs and listen to podcasts on politics and polling as well as reading the New York Times […]
I haven’t blogged in forever and a day. I’ve missed writing about some great shows and the Mets. Now I’m going to try my hand at something I used to do quite a bit and was my original conception of what Wise Madness should be, explaining my thoughts. Today’s topic is, why people follow religious […]
Time to try and start daily blogging again. I probably won’t succeed but I definitely won’t if I don’t try. Yesterday I went to the Hudson West Folk Festival. I’m on the advisory board and have been volunteering there since it started. I work the merch most of the day but get relief to go […]
It’s time to get back to writing. I had a bout of COVID-19 but that might be more of an excuse for not writing than a reason. It’s hard writing every day. How did I do it for 20 years? My blogging muscles were strong from use. I must make the strong again. I’m not […]
Last night I had a musical doubleheader John Platt’s On Your Radar and Barnaby Bright, both at the Bitter End. It’s tough for me to write about On Your Radar as I do the social media for the series so I’m going right to Barnaby Bright. They are not just favorites, but they are one […]
Saturday night I went to see The Ladles at Littlefield’s in Brooklyn. It was the album release show for Everything that Grows. The Ladles were my great COVID-19 discovery. Amazon music thought I’d like them, Amazon was right. They are the trio of Lucia Pontoniere, Katie Martucci, and Caroline Kuhn. The canonical order for me […]
It took an adventure to get me to write again. Last night I went to see the fabulous House of Hamill in Woodbridge New Jersey. Woodbridge is not close. I live in the Northern Bronx, Woodbridge is in New Jersey, on the other side of the Hudson, due west of the southern tip of Staten […]
