big ol article about me in GQ, if you go in for that sort of thing www.gq.com/story/john-d...

The Story John Darnielle Lived to Tell

When he was a teenager, the Mountain Goats founder never expected to live to 21. He has since become one of this century’s best songwriters. The lessons of his survival, life, and work feel endless.

"In a time of seemingly infinite polarization, his truculent, life-affirming catalog is one of the few things most Americans can actually agree upon." Happy birthday to the man behind 'Damn The Torpedoes'. Here is an overview I wrote for the Ringer a few years back. www.theringer.com/2019/10/18/m...

“Everybody’s Had to Fight to Be Free”: Tom Petty’s ‘Damn the Torpedoes’ Turns 40

Recorded at a time of roiling complication for the Heartbreakers, Petty’s virtuosic hooks and desire for resonance made this the band’s finest—and angriest—album

They're painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town”
