The Earps, the Clantons, the McLaurys and the unlikely outlaw D...

From out of the blue came a song title. The muse in me grabbed it and ran with it. Yet another song title about love, but one with a twist. The true story (though partially imagined) of a romance that almost never happened. A series of near misses where finally that gigantic word “LOVE” simply takes over and leaves two people fallen. Love, the unstoppable, the i...

Just because something is forgotten does not necessarily mean that it’s not any good. As the Earth turns on its axis, times change. What was up is now down. What was fast is now slow. Great leaders are forgotten. Hitlers are remembered. Good times are forgotten. Struggles are remembered.
This podcast, Forgotten, is about forgotten songs. Whenever I write a song t...

Gospel Music: It’s a combination of music and lyrics. It celebrates – things like life, spirit, soul, miracle, and it, of course, praises God. It makes me not sit still. It makes me want to sing along (and I’m just not a singalong guy.) It makes me watch fascinated how deeply it affects the spirit of the people around me; it makes me want to be a part of t...

I think it was about nine months ago that I was doing my morning read of the New York Times and I came across an article about a recent discovery of an asteroid that seemed to be heading our way. I remember thinking, “Good lord, what next?“ Thus began Benny The Comet – An ancient/modern tale of a boy, Benjamin Exnod, whose father worked at NASA and his dis...

One day, not so long ago, I was simply walking across my living room, when a thought hit me and stuck in my head that there was a wealthy elderly man sitting in his den playing a video board game that he had invented. The board game was somewhat magical and most complex. I stopped in my tracks and thought deeper. I realized that he was a God like figure and the board game w...

I discovered a song I had written 4 or five decades ago. It was a response to a very bad habit that I had fallen into in life. The song was written and performed in my living room studio and was a one take … this means that I sang and played it one time in the recording process. It was an imperfect performance, but, for me, it was a powerful reaction to a profound tu...

So much of life I take for granted
I wake each day to face the same routine
The colors often run
In shades of monotone and grey
And the days melt together
In a frivolous cliché
But occasionally, now and then
Once or twice when the moon is blue
I’ll be walking across a room
And a thought will come
From out of nowhere
So stunning
As to make me
Stop in my tracks
To consider the infini...

A psychedelic experience with a tree and a perplexing new song title dreamed up by Jenny Burton, recording artist of over three and a half decades, got me to become a dedicated advocate for the preservation of forests and the trees of Planet Earth. It didn’t hurt one bit that this previous year wife, Julia, and I planted 26 new trees in our home soil. A new song, sung...

It's one of those sad but true moments...

Troubles Be Gone – How to get through it…
I had had a rough day. The things that were supposed to happen, didn’t happen. The things that never were supposed to happen, happened. It happens to all of us.
Yeah, life on planet Earth can be a roller coaster ride. I thought to myself, “Well, what do we do now“? How do we...

The phone rang. I picked it up and the lady on the other end said, “Hi, I am the director of the Creative Arts program at Camp Newfound Owatonna. I’m looking for a teacher to put together a music class for this summer's creative arts program at camp. I’m wondering if you might know someone who might be interested.” Long story short, needing a vacatio...

From the New York Times: Quote: “Much Ado About Nothing is a feast! Joseph Papp’s 1972 CBS television production of the New York Shakespeare Festival’s staging of Shakespeare’s rollicking comedy is brassy, bouncy, and all–together entertaining. Featuring Sam Waterston, Douglas Watson and the Tony Award performances of Kathleen Widdoes and Barna...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
