The Rock That Comes To Sweden… The first thing I ask when I get to a new place is “WHERE IS THE ROCK??” Where do the rockers hang out, where are the shows, where are the cool record stores, and where are the cool bands? Even before I got here, my friend Martin Percival fromRead More…

28-Aug-2003Meeting President Clinton
I usually try not to make judgments about people I have never met, but it’s hard when you have probably a snowball’s chance in hell of meeting them. This would be true, say in the case of a dead person, mega celebrity with 100 bodyguards or a President. I got an e-mail from a friendRead More…
