Interesting… Bruce mixes traditional Springsteenian riffery (though with a stronger keyboard emphasis than his usual guitar-driven one) and mixes it with synths and drum machine beats. He takes his ironic anthem/lament lyrical juxtoposition (see: “Born in the USA”) and marries it to a… what? Arcade Fire “Suburbs” album alt-rock? I tuned out Springsteen years ago […]
Does anyone recall Max Young? Used to teach Classics at Trent in the early 90’s? Mad as a hatter, his tutorials on Greek tragedy were less informative than entertaining. Comic, though in a nervous titter kind of way. You never knew what Max was going to say in class, but it was often bizarre, occasionally […]

According to a new media release, the Federal Conservatives would have us believe that radical billionaire socialists and foreign special interest groups are trying to prevent Canada from any and all energy production projects.

A snippet from the piece: Erin Hartmans… uses her award to make time for volunteerism. “I am a volunteer-a-holic,” she admitted. […]

I recently finished an article on family skiing adventures. It will be hitting the shelves soon. Here is a preview: When John Leguard first started skiing with his family, he devised a mischievous way of spending extra time with his kids. He started packing M&M’s in his ski jacket. “Unfortunately, ski lifts will only carry […]
Wearing both my Farm to Table and Small Print hats, I address local business people on the subject of the success of Peterborough’s creative economy. Apparently, I was going a bit long and got the wrap-up signal towards the end. It was a truly fantastic evening, with no shortage of talented people present. Thanks to […]
