Some days I think I know a lot about a lot. Other days, I feel like I know absolutely nothing. On the topic of love, I feel like I know everything yet absolutely zilch. On the topic of life, same thing. Some days I dole out wisdom as though they’r…

“The partying was just something to do to kill the time between gigs.” Slash, featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, was on Audience Channel tonight. Pretty amazing stuff, and just what I needed on this fine Friday night. A lot of territory…
