About Me

As a songwriter, nothing has been written about me. I don't blame anyone for it as I'm pretty boring and no one can spell my name. Plus, I am an intolerable asshole (ask any bike punk). I live in NE Minneapolis and that is where I intend to stay. I've tried living other places and I hate them all. I write a lot of songs but I only show people a few of them because most of them are too cynical. I struggle with anger and frustration due to a feeling of general impotence. I released a CD last year called The Sweetheart Boy of the Rainbow Cafe and this year I was supposed to release an album called "Charades". I probably won't do it. I think I'm going to do something else. I'm usually down to play a gig wherever if the vibe is right. Leave a message maybe. Say hello. Hello.
