You know it's true, amid the vast sprawling throng, You know it's true, amid the right and the wrong: It's the rich and powerful who create history while the poor and suffering write their songs. It's the rich and powerful who create history while the poor and suffering write their songs. Write their songs. They write their songs.

about

I wrote some 300 songs before I turned 20. Most of these early songs were awful… a fledgling songwriter learning the craft. I haven't actually listened to my recordings of these early songs in decades, because I don't have a cassette player. In 2020, I pulled out a bunch of old leadsheets, found some old treasures, and started playing some modern versions of these old songs.

You don't need to know that in order to appreciate these songs.

My early influences are at the forefront here: notes of Neil Young, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, and The Beatles. Psychedelic folk punk with jazz and literate aspirations. Pretentious as F***. But I dig it and I hope you do too.
