Five decades later, the enigma of Van Morrison's 'Moondance' remains the disjunction between its joyful mainline into the transcendent mysteries of life, and the sour, bitter, paranoid man who rendered it. Doubly strange: it's not like he just went senile. He was always this way.
The Roman Pantheon has stood virtually untouched for 1700 years. The iconic structure is the best-preserved building from ancient Rome and was completed in 125 AD during the reign of Emperor Hadrian… (brief 🧵)
A surrealist tragedy on the order "After The Gold Rush", the paradoxical urban loneliness of Wilco's "Ashes Of American Flags" plays like a Bellow short story by way of a Burroughs cut-up-exercise. The best of its many fine epigrams: "Speaking of tomorrow/ How will it ever come?"
KDHX released its 2023 990 today. Spoiler alert: It does not end well. @RiverfrontTimes has the scoop. riverfronttimes.com/music/kdhx-gav…
Insane lack of fiduciary responsibility by the Board, unless the goals they set for the Exec Dir were to decrease revenue & create financial instability. My company was VERY successful last year but raises were 3.5%. Nobody gets 8% except maybe Wall St.
KDHX's latest tax return paints a worrisome picture: revenue is down, the station has blown through its cash reserves and it lost $327,653 in 2023. one number that has gone up, though, is executive director Kelly Wells' compensation shorturl.at/ctP07
In September 2023, as KDHX was completing its purge of dissenting volunteers (of which I was one), it was being audited by @CPBmedia and ultimately fined $2500 for non-compliance. A waste of donor money and another betrayal of the community.
A shaman experiencing acid-rock's first full fledged panic attack, Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced" lays bare the confused stakes in the decades-long contest between the counterculture and its peculiar circular-firing squad. Standing at the front lines. Among the first to go.

The Armed Forces boxset is the best piece of vinyl I own, so i just thought I would do a thread of what’s in this great collection for anyone that’s thinking of buying it or just wants to see what you get in it cause it’s really cool. 🧵
Having traveled halfway round the world just to discover that higher consciousness was just another grift, the Beatles “Sexy Sadie” is a bitter stake through the heart of counterculture utopianism and the single funniest song in the band’s catalog. No guru, no method, no teacher.
