Who is Another Old Guy?
I've loved music since I was a child. I worked at a radio station in summer camp when I was 11, became obsessed with music in my teens and had the privilege to work at WPRB-FM when I was in college. But rather than follow that passion, I became and continue to be an attorney.
A few years ago, I started writing about music for Star Maker Machine (as J. David), and then for Cover Me.
Now, I've decided to start my own blog, to write about music, television, politics and whatever. Recent Comments

AOG Linguistic Kardashian Award 2
Back in April, 2016, before our country’s antiquated Electoral College, Russian interference, misogyny, terrible reporting, and some sort of mass insanity resulted in the election to the Presidency of a buffoonish demagogue who surrounded himself with a crew of deplorable … Continue reading

Michael Cohen’s Lament
I’m trying something different here. I don’t think Weird Al has anything to worry about, though. Put suggested improvements in the comments. Sung to the tune of “Stormy Weather,” of course. Don’t know why She ever had sex with my … Continue reading
