In my previous article, Of Teleprompters and Song Lyrics, I began to discuss how technology assists singers and bands. For some people this is an uncomfortable topic on par with describing how sausage is made. It is hard to accept the fact that professionals use these assists on songs that move us deeply. All we experience is the beauty of […]

Over the last week I’ve been amused and a little frustrated to read the reactions to Motley Crue’s singer, Vince Niel, using a teleprompter on stage for his song lyrics.

There was violence, lawlessness, and intimidation where these protesters went. Seventeen people were arrested from the crowd of about two-hundred. If it were not enough […]

After a few days off, the quote-a-coaster that is Donald Trump hit a high-speed downhill and then a couple of loops today. As with a lot of things he says, a certain amount of hysteria has popped up around it. The common take on it is that Trump opposes the North Carolina bathroom law.

“Donald Trump is not a conservative!” That was probably the most prominent accusation that drew me to a meager defense of Donald Trump. It seemed so obvious that it was a false accusation which could be easily refuted.
