The turmoil and injustice of the 60s generated some incredible countercultural art. That art - especially music - seemed to till the soil for a new generation to grow fresh ideas in. Where is the great countercultural art now? What are you hearing that gives you hope?

Just launched a new Podcast w recordings from our recent live events at Vinyl Tap Nashville and the gathering at the Wheaton Public Library with a bonus: the opening of the book from the actual audio production. Thank you to everyone who came to these events and asked such great questions.

Gil Scott Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Gil Scott Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised YouTube video by lanklan

Been borderline-obsessed with Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" this week as the juxtaposition of modern media, maga-lomania, and the Feast Of Epiphany has me contemplating the importance of personal, internal revolutions over and above memes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnJF...

Home | Ballad Lost Dogs Discover the story of the new novel, The Ballad of the Lost Dogs of East Nashville by author John J. Thompson.

I just released a new novel about music, community and reconciliation. If you need something to read instead of social media or something to listen to - check LostPerros.com and if you can’t afford to buy it send me a message and I’ll send the first 50 people who ask a free ebook or audiobook link.
