Some of you might know my song "Twenty-Three", written in memory of my friend and Stanford roommate, Patrick Wood. His mother recently released a book about her journey to find meaning after his passing and to honor his legacy. It’s a beautiful, powerful read and available now on Amazon. ❤️

RIP Jill Sobule. I’d been a fan for years. In 2011, I tweeted about how one of her breakup songs hit me hard—she replied. Years later, she sang the chorus on @megaran.com and my “Gulliver’s Travels” track. Humble, kind, and cool as hell. A true pioneer of music crowdfunding. 💔😢

Poe Fact #23: He Paved the Way for Sci-Fi Legends
Verne and H.G. Wells owe Poe royalties—if ghosts took payment. His moon balloon and nightmares were blueprint material for the genre.

Poe Fact #21: Balloon-Hoax GOAT
In 1844, Poe punk’d America with a fake news story claiming a balloon crossed the Atlantic in 75 hours. Newspapers ran it as fact. It was the original viral clickbait.

The Baltimore Ravens are named after "The Raven." Poe died in Baltimore, and now his ghost haunts their end zone. The team mascot’s name? "Poe." Doesn’t get more on the nose.

Poe Fact #18: Grave Mistakes
Poe was buried in an unmarked grave until fans were like, “Seriously?” and moved him to a bigger one. Now he has two tombs, because even in death, he needed a dramatic twist ending.

Poe Fact #17: Big Bang Before It Was a Thing
In Eureka: A Prose Poem, Poe basically described the Big Bang; 80 years before science caught up. The man saw the birth of the universe... while drinking cognac alone.

Poe Fact #16: Early Literary Aspirations
By 13, Poe had written a book’s worth of poems, but his foster father shut it down. He kept writing anyway... and never stopped.

Poe Fact #15: Heartbeat Heard 'Round the World
The Tell-Tale Heart may have been inspired by an 1830 murder where the killer claimed he heard the victim’s heart. Poe added dread... and made English class eternal.
