I'm so sad to learn about @kalebhorton.bsky.social's passing; he was one of my favorite writers, eagle-eyed, full of heart, and always on point. He was so good I once asked him for some general tips, and here's what he shared. It's a dimmer world without him.

I've admired @drleahpayne.bsky.social & @andrewgill.biz's Rock That Doesn't Roll (@prx.org) podcast since it started, so it was a special pleasure to appear on it this week & argue my case that Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne invented Christian metal.
