Even in this ridiculous and weird time in history, dreams come true. Not all. But enough of them that it still counts when somebody says “if you work hard, you can still achieve your dreams.” But right now you might be making someone else’s dreams come true.

Micro moments. When you … Read the rest…
“Get a haircut you longhair hippie.” If I had a dime for every time I heard that when I was full-time in the music business. No, just kidding. Sort of. Because I didn’t hear that a lot, oddly enough. A lot of guys did, back in the day. But at least back then it wasn’t a crime if you didn’t get your hair cut…or … Read the rest…
