I turned 60 years old yesterday, and I gotta tell ya, I don’t feel it.
It’s been said that Gen X is the generation that became 30 at the age of 15, and is still 30 at 50.
I felt that at 50.
I still feel it today at 60.
Guess there’s only one thing to do……
go grab your board, and join me…….
I brought tunes!

For my final live show here at 1621 W.Broad St, I’ll blow out my favorite tracks of 2025.
It was a very fertile year for pop music (by POP Goes The World’s standards, at the very least) as I recognized a new genre emerging which I started calling “Post Pop” as I started recognizing new songs expanding on all the elements of pop, power pop, punk, post punk, grunge, indie pop, and art pop dragging pop music, kicking and screaming, into the second half of the third decade of the new millennium.
Happy holidays and happy new year, and we’ll see you in 2026 at 1806 E Main St.!
