It’s harder than ever for musicians to make a living from music. I think Rick Beato nailed it in a recent episode when he explained how the majority of successful artists today have money behind them. It was, therefore, humbling on my recent tour with the live show version of […]
One of my favourite people won an Ivor Novello Award last night and rightly so. I was lucky enough to work with Linda Perry a few years ago and I recently discovered that she has a new album out, so it seemed like a good opportunity to talk about what […]
Over the past couple of days, I’ve been sent links to social media posts featuring an AI deepfake version of me, but with my former teeth and no 8-pack. It’s not a post or a subject I want to take part in, but there are few laws against it. Does […]

I was sent a few articles by a friend about the news that now, in 2022, it takes nearly 5 writers on average to write 1 song. Dianne Warren remarked recently on how there are 24 credited songwriters on one of Beyonce’s latest songs. How can this be? Why is […]
Today’s video is an important one. It’s not something I’m used to talking about nor am I qualified to, so I am merely remarking on James Hetfield’s incredible speech during a Metallica show recently. This is important. As a community of rock and heavy metal lovers, we need to look […]
I’ve wanted to do a video about Wheatus and it’s quite the coincidence that Teenage Dirtbag is currently having a resurgence at the moment, of course, because of TikTok. They deserve it. This has to be the best rock song written in the last 22 years? Am I wrong? C’mon […]
