I began blogging in March of 2007 on my since scuttled MySpace page, and since the website was geared toward music, so were my posts. My first post was titled "The Music of Teen Angst", and became the foundation and structure for what would ultimately become a chapter in my book Lifting a Foot Forward.… Continue reading A Night To Remember | Ben Harper LIVE at Bridges Auditorium, 6 November 2013

Dropping an F-Bomb
Once Upon a Time… I had the attention span of a 6 year old. The End. **Editor’s Note The following comments will be typed out on the computer by Greg’s hands, utilizing his subconscious mind to provide a precariously fluid thought on the subject of today’s society. As seems to be a growing trend, Greg… Continue reading Dropping an F-Bomb
Restoring My Faith in Halloween
I was telling Sandra this might be the last Halloween I celebrate. Seriously. Things have changed, and while I really hate thinking that I’m getting old, my problems with the changes are simple and I don’t necessarily think attributed to my age. Maybe. Either way, I was a little put off. But let me begin… Continue reading Restoring My Faith in Halloween
The Diabolical Scheme of 3:30am
I guess I haven’t been as unproductive as I first thought. I wrote a journal entry just last Thursday, though I guess I can attribute my confusion to seemingly endless days of illness and the reoccurring horror of 3:30am. Like Freddy Krueger scaring me down the hallway, dragging his stainless steel press on nails along… Continue reading The Diabolical Scheme of 3:30am
Here We Are Now, Entertain Us | Nirvana and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
It was lightning in a bottle, igniting a genre to the point an icon was created almost instantly. And in a flash of brilliance and torment a legend was born among the swirl of black smoke and the smell of gun powder. It was tragic, and yet we are left to wonder if could have… Continue reading Here We Are Now, Entertain Us | Nirvana and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Changing the World with a Simple “Thank You”
I’m a big believer in good manners. I’m not sure who invented the concept, though I can say with some certainty it probably wasn’t cave men, whacking each other over the head with the bones of a snaggletoothed lizard or something like that. No, I’m not sure who invented the concept, but that person is… Continue reading Changing the World with a Simple “Thank You”
Inner Thought Radio
Early Saturday morning Sandra and I were Inner Thought Radio DJs. You know, you wake up with a song in your head and you just can’t get it out. Yeah, that was us. And for the life of me right now I can’t even think of what song I had in my head. And that’s… Continue reading Inner Thought Radio
Are You Off the Wall?
Yesterday was a bit of a nostalgic day in our house. Especially for Sandra. After months of putting it off, she finally decided she was ready to treat herself to a brand new pair of Vans shoes. Not that it was a momentous occasion mind you, but Sandra doesn’t often splurge on fun things for… Continue reading Are You Off the Wall?
When a Missed Opportunity Isn’t
The sand was cold. Like make your toes numb kind of cold. The air was chilly too. You could tell it was fall or that summer’s run of warm nights had at least come to an end. That’s kind of how the day started. We were walking toward the ocean. Mother Ocean. It was quiet,… Continue reading When a Missed Opportunity Isn’t
The Quandry of Writing a Query Letter
Anyone who knows me well knows two things; I’m very sentimental about tradition. I absolutely hate the phrase “That’s the way we’ve always done it” (a.k.a. Sometimes I really hate tradition.) It’s kind of a paradox or an oxymoron or something. Whatever. The point is tradition has its place. Until it doesn’t anymore. I’ve realized… Continue reading The Quandry of Writing a Query Letter
