I’ve officially hit my “Old Man Phase”, as I find myself muttering “I remember when…” a lot more than I used to. I’ll be turning fifty in less than two months and a few things have changed about my concert going experiences. For instance, I like sitting down more than a mosh pit. That’s not…

Under the Influence
Three Albums that Shaped My Life This article is about that classic question. That one you get at 1am at the bar when you’re with your music loving friends and winding down the evening’s festivities.
