Relapse magazine was nice enough to feature me and my book in their new issue—the ‘Virgin’ issue. The entire thing is available online, but you can pick one up IRL if you live in New York.

The Beatles, “The Night Before”
I’m friends with a few of those contrarian types who insist the Beatles “just aren’t that good,” or go the extra mile to say that the Beatles are good but simply overrated.

Here is a painting I made as a part of a project by the artist Tom Sanford, who is opening a show at Bravin Lee Programs on December 31st called 100 Little Deaths

Also he concealed and abated a child rapist, Jerry Sandusky, because Sandusky was a good defensive coordinator
Moral ambiguity is a favorite theme of mine
