About me:
I'm a longtime music and entertainment journalist, critic and editor. Cut my teeth at the legendary CREEM Magazine. Also a former contributing editor at SPIN. Other editorial jobs have included stints at BAM, New Times Los Angeles, Radio & Records and Daily Variety. Have written for a ton of publications, from the L.A. Times to New Musical Express to US Weekly. During my last several years in L.A., most of my published work was done for MOJO Magazine and L.A. Citybeat. As of July 2007, I'm the Music Editor of the Detroit Metro Times in...duh, Detroit.Slideshow
Who I'd like to meet:
I'm open to meeting almost anyone, especially liberals. I love hearing from old friends from the past; several have found me here and it's always great...I love receiving comments on this page. However, do not post comments on this page as a bulletin board to promote/advertise your band or other endeavors. It's gotten ridiculous and I will simply delete the comment and your "friendship" as a result. Thank you for your understanding. (As of April 2007: To all bands/musical artists -- If I don't know who you are, please drop me a message first, letting me know why you want to be added. I've been getting overwhelmed lately and a few of the requests were making me scratch my head, genre-wise.... Thanks!) NOTE: I'm currently not accepting requests from bands and musical artists I don't already know. Sorry..but I just get too many such requests and get sent a lot of music at my work account and would rather not deal with them on MySpace, where I'm spending much less time these days anyway.Friend Space (Top 32)

I am packing my steamer trunk as we speak and am soon to set sail for Londontown! My crystal ball is a little hazy, but it does seem that there is a good chance that we will soon meet and that I will have the heartfelt pleasure of telling your fortune! Could it be true?
In any case, the stars have indicated that we are destined to be fast friends in this lifetime and the next and I have no doubt that they are correct. The thought of this pleases me immensely.
Looking forward to all our future adventures, it is thus I remain very truly yours, &c.

To celebrate your natal day I purchased that sixth string that Keith Richards takes off of his guitar to get that Brown Sugar tuning. I had it mounted in plexiglass and then,.... well,.... I sold it for heroin.
But I was thinking of you DUDE!!!! Rock on!!!!
