Brand New Day For Social Media
I’m all for how Elon Musk is changing Twitter – and social media for that matter. The biggest problem with UGC (user-generated content) is the proliferation of misleading or completely false information. This can and will kill the medium if something is not done.

Let’s open with “More Than A Feeling!”
It’s the summer of 1985 and I’m 16 years old. Been driving since April and the band I was in found a Battle of the Bands opportunity at the Thirsty Whale in Rosemont, IL. This place was legendary in the 80s for hard rock. So, I lied about where I was going, to be able…
