Gen Z thinks buying cassettes is “aesthetic.” Meanwhile I’ve bought Violator enough times to qualify for a Depeche Mode pension. What’s your repeat-offender album?

I’ve bought Purple Rain five times. Same album, different formats. Prince wins. 📼💿📀🎶 Full essay: open.substack.com/pub/rscwrite...

1985 gave us Nintendo, New Coke, and Back to the Future. Two out of three aged well. 😏 More nostalgia + sarcasm in my essays: substack.com/@rscwrites?u...

Gracie was tough to the end. She hated being carried, always stiff as a board… until the night she melted into my chest and let me know it was time. 💔 Full essay: substack.com/@rscwrites?u...

As a husband, father, and grandfather to a baby girl-I’m sickened by the idea that any man feels entitled to a woman’s body, time, or silence. You’re not owed anything. Especially not submission. Keep your “ancestry” excuses and threats. Real men know the difference between strength and control

It's not a gift to the U.S. It's a bribe to Donald Trump. "Quid pro quo," as he likes to call things.

I honestly don't know if she's just a bald-faced liar or a completely brainwashed idiot.

One spark. That’s all it takes. A line in a song, a name in a lyric—suddenly I’m digging into the history behind it. I write essays where music meets memory, and every story has heat. #StoriesCatchFire #MusicAndMeaning #HistoryRemixed
