Drug Run: Chapter 15 – Love Light
Billy was playing to the crowd, the musicians on stage, and especially Suze. He performed on the blues harp with an exuberant skill she found shocking. Their first-time ever sexual consummation, only a few hours previously, fueled a crazy energy between them, linking them in an energy flux that somehow actually surpassed their earlier ecstatic union in the motel.
Gonzo Today: Still Standing Tall
Gonzo Today’s official position on U.S. politics is simple: we are disgusted by both parties. The current looming Biden/Trump rematch is an atrocity that is both scary and laughable. How is this even happening?
It’s Good to be Alive and Headed to Vegas for the Super Bowl
All are healthy, rested and hungry. It’s been 30 years since the Niners were the champs. They are due. And even Taylor Swift and all her fans can’t stop the Niners now.
Music Scenes Just Around The Corner: Muddy Creek and Co. & Rabbit In Red
As we have moved beyond the restrictive COVID lifestyle, local bands have been tenaciously working to get their music recorded and out to fans. They have hit the road and are playing gigs.

JFK – Back and to the Left
I’m angry and sickened that 60 years later that I feel compelled to write this article for Gonzo Today. I’d rather be doing almost anything else. But if I don’t do this, I’ll hate myself tomorrow.
Drug Run: Chapter 13 – Motel Mess
From his parking spot down the street, Imants recoiled in his seat. Now Suze was with… That Guy. He reached into the Gladstone bag, and pulled out the gun again, and then threw it back in the bag.

The trip to Vegas was boring. Well, mostly. I was alone, hot (I hate airco and seldom use it) and grumpy, if simultaneously mildly amused. I was driving to Vegas to bet a grand on the San Francisco 49ers to win the Super Bowl.
