Huge thanks to the one and only Chris Jericho for having me on Talk Is Jericho! 🤘

We talked rock history, ridiculous stories, and why The Almanac is basically a time machine for music nerds.

Go check it out and crank it loud.

Just hit 300 followers here in #BlueSky and also in Instaspam.

I'm happy as these have grown from nothing in just a few months.

And I don't think any of my friends or family are following me, as intended.

Thank you lovely people!

A friend of mine sent me a message:

"Oh look what I found at my local library!"

Gotta love the librarians!

Does your local have one?

Can you request a copy?

Three interviews in a day. What should I be worried about?

48 hours from now a video call from Australia, that noon a phone call from the UK and another call from the States in the afternoon.

Any hints?

I've been invited to four different interviews during the past week.

A rock-book podcast and a radio show in the US, a radio show in Australia and another in UK.

Wish me luck so I can keep my cool and act like an adult....

There are 2751 of these anecdotes in the book.

Over seven per day.

Or if you only read on per day, for over seven years.

Or if I miscalculated, who knows?

How many of these you'd want to read?

I made a small statement in the book.

It is written in a small font and in grey but it is there.

It is there for the people in Ukraine.

It is there for the people of Ukraine.

I had to give up.

I made an account for the book to instaspam, fakebook and ex.

I thought I could do without those but this is how it is, want it we or not.

If you have those, please give @rockandrollalmanac a like.

I tried to make a book trailer but it seems to be more of an advertisement.

What do you think?

Any suggestions on how or what to improve?

Another plead for another grant sent.

I have faith in the (soon to be published) Rock and Roll Almanac but would like to sit down for a year without having to think about money.

Every buck I get is for the prose and not selling my time to someone.

Day two of waiting to get my hands on the print proof.

Looking through the dirty windows silently.

(Not going to clean them.)

Wind is calm.

Tumbleweeds rest.

Storm between the ears.
