I’ll be damned if I can decide which introduction to use for the The U- Haul Adventures, so I’ll leave the choice to you. Simply select your favorite intro, and inform me of your choice via mail or email. I’ll tally the votes and the most popular introduction will be the one that everyone reads! Tally ho! Mike #1 - For those who like the literary approach: “A prologue is written last but placed first to explain the book's shortcomings and to ask the reader to be kind. But a prologue is also a note of farewell from a writer to his book. For years the writer and his book have been together—friends or bitter enemies but very close as only love and fighting can accomplish. ” —John Steinbeck, Journal o f a Novel #2 - For those who dig the dry details: The U-Haul Adventures could be accurately subtitled “Columns I Wrote for Other Zines That My Friends Never Got to Read, Along with New Stuff I Wrote for Tour.” Last summer I went through the box in which I keep copies of zines I’ve written for. Flipping through the stack I realized that most of my friends never had a chance to read the columns, and never would given that all but one of the zines is now extinct. (Josh Rutledge’s fab Now Wave being the noteworthy exception.) And that’s not right because I often write with my friends in mind.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
