A veteran rock critic tries cutting out the middle man, offering opinions on pop music, culture, media and society. Wednesday, April 10, 2002. A colleague of mine gave me Blink 182's "Enema of the State" (MCA/1999) to listen to. I love the cover art (nurse! Posted by Wayne @ Wednesday, April 10, 2002. Monday, April 08, 2002.

Gonna Need a Bigger Boat: December 2014
http://gonnaneedabiggerboat.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Gonna Need a Bigger Boat. Constitutionally qualified to be your president. Friday, December 19, 2014. Spineless Sony and the theater chains (and the malls who put the pressure on the theaters) who do not negotiate with terrorists, instead they simply obey the commands of terrorists and pull "The Interview" from release. Drafthouse would be just as open to lawsuit as Regal or Sony if something happened at a theater, yet Drafthouse and other smaller theater companies still have principles. The ironic t...

Gonna Need a Bigger Boat. Constitutionally qualified to be your president. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. RIP Chris Squire, 1948-2015. June 27th from henceforth shall be National Bass Player Memorial Day, a day to remember the fallen men (and women) who anchor rock bands. John Entwistle, the great bassist for The Who, died on June 27th in 2002. Thirteen years later to the day we lost Chris Squire, co-founder of progressive rock gods Yes. What are the odds? But otherwise, a nice piece. I always thought Squir...

Gonna Need a Bigger Boat: September 2014

Gonna Need a Bigger Boat. Constitutionally qualified to be your president. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. The Scariest Elf in Prison. Below is the recent mugshot of a well known person. Can you guess who this is? Hint: he once pointed a gun at John Lennon (but he's not the guy who shot him, of course). A Sign That It Is Time To Retire. ABOVE: Dusty es viejo. 8217;75 vs. ’78 Boss and Amazon Shenanigans. In Bruce Springsteen bootleg circles, the debate rages whether his finest live year was 1975 ( Born to Run.

A lot of my published work dates from the pre-digital age and isn’t available online (for which relief, much thanks), but a selection of stuff can be accessed at Rock’s Backpages. A fabulous archive of music journalism that I wholeheartedly recommend. As time permits, I’ll post exclusive alternate versions of published work. Here are some links to pieces that are already out there. I interviewed Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl. For The Guardian in 2007. He’s not just a nice guy. This piece about Bob Mould.

A veteran rock critic tries cutting out the middle man, offering opinions on pop music, culture, media and society. Friday, May 03, 2002. TREY IN THE STUDIO, PHISH ON THE WEB. I thought a natural way for approaching Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio's self-titled solo album was to write about it along with one of the band’s similarly phresh multidisc live sets. I e-mailed a friend at the label for Trey and the band. The friend said I could be serviced with the Trey disc, which I received promptly. There are...

A veteran rock critic tries cutting out the middle man, offering opinions on pop music, culture, media and society. Thursday, April 25, 2002. SIBLING RIVALRY: JOHNNY WINTER AND EDGAR WINTER. Whose best is better, Johnny Winter or Edgar Winter? For most people, it's a no-brainer: Guitar god Johnny always overshadowed his younger brother Edgar, who played keyboards and saxophone but was never considered a virtuoso. What can one say except that the Edgar disc rocks? Posted by Wayne @ Thursday, April 25, 2002.

A veteran rock critic tries cutting out the middle man, offering opinions on pop music, culture, media and society. Sunday, March 17, 2013. In its February issue, Mojo magazine featured a cover story on Johnny Marr, along with a free CD featuring a selection of tracks from his estimable career since being the ying to Morrissey's yang in the Smiths. Our artifice obsessed web-centric digital world emerges as a theme in "I Want the Heartbeat": Think the juke-and-jive of the New York Dolls and the innocence ...
