While I was in town on tour, N.A. Poe and his fine friends at Scrapple TV invited me to help them cover the Philly Naked Bike Ride. I slightly altered my song “Naked Camping” for the occasion. Check it out here! (About as NSFW as it gets.)

KPFA radio appearance, 3/3/14
Listen here!
I did an interview with Kate Raphael on her show Women’s Magazine on KPFA – we talked about my music, the Global Try Not To Be A Dick Movement, and the importance of looking on the funny side of life. I played a couple-few songs, too – one is “Talking National Park Service Beat My Ass Black & Blues,” which I wrote about my arrest in Philadelphia last summer. I’m on the second segment of the show, after a moving interview with Col. Ann Wright, a former Army colonel-turned-activist who resigned her commission in protest of the Iraq war.

New video: “Yellow Ribbon”
I wrote this song in early August, following my umpteenth conversation with some fellow veterans about those yellow ribbon magnets everyone seems to have on their gas-guzzlers these days, and what, if anything, they seem to mean.
