Rethinking Kindness
“Kindness in punk didn’t mean smiles and flowers. It wasn’t instagram-vapid and hashtag-ready, it was rough around the edges and sullen. It swore, it was prickly, but its heart was big and definitely in the right place. The song might yell “fuck you” and the fighting in the mosh pit might seem aggressive, but if you needed someone to help you out when the world had turned its back, there was no better place.”
Idea for a Twilight Zone Episode…
“Don’t you see? It’s all wrong! Can’t you hear it? It even says The Simpsons at the start - why would this be the theme for the six o’clock news?”
Take Me Out To The Ballgame
“I didn’t realise how much I was missing baseball as a part of my Spring and Summer ritual until it came back this weekend.”
I Was Lost But Now I Am Found
“There are few positive things we can say about Covid 19, but if there is any silver lining to this ever-blackening cloud it is that the world being forced to stop for a few months gave everyone who was able to take advantage of it the opportunity to reflect.”
Mr Chi Pig RIP - This Is The End
“The songs and memories are still there, but it’s sad to think the guy who gave me them all isn’t. RIP Mr Chi Pig. Never met you. Never saw you play live. Yet I’m forever changed by what you did.“
Why The Capital N, DaN?
“Since the publication of Authentic Democracy many people have asked me why the book spells my name with a capitalised N in my first name so it reads "DaN" instead of "Dan"?“
