Have to admit, after all these years, it’s still a thrill to see something I wrote in print, especially if it’s about an artist I’ve follow for years.

There is a version that goes through "Around the Sun." that includes new quotes from Michael from an in-person interview. I'd like to do a final version but my original publisher went out of business and the company that bought their assets has no interest. Photo of German ed.

Beautiful day today in L.A. with December temps in the 80s. Humble brag -- had my fourth hole in one (two at the Van Nuys par 3 the first year I started playing, one at Knollwood and now this one). Hole No. 7. I45 years from the white tees.

RIP Slim. He brought his unique style and grace to the Replacements, one of my all-time favorite bands. Rest in power, Slim.
