I’m of the mind that one should never do something creative entirely alone. You should definitely have a trusted pack of buddies by your side while crafting some tunes.

I recently had the pleasure of an interview with our new music blogger, Dan Rickabus. This young man from Michigan has a happy perspective on life, a strong yet smokey rock’n'roll voice and a weird way of making ukelele work in his catchy alt-rock songs. Podcast only.

Leading experts in the water industry claim that water is the next oil. In next couple decades, we will see rampant population growth running headlong into waning water supply.

We’re having a lively debate here at the Avocado Jungle on the limits, if any, to profit. Is it okay to profit off of the poor and sick? Is there a need to regulate such ideas? Are there things we should just do for one another so that everyone benefits equally? The concept of profit in a capitalist society is essentially devoid of ethical considerations. There is one goal: increase net profit. Profit sucks out the soul of humanity: any help needed comes with a price tag; all price tags come with an included and invisible mark up (pure-hearted charity excluded). Welcome to the first AVJ Writers’ Debate! We’ll post an assertion to be argued for or against, and ask all of our writers to come to the table for a good honest debate. Comments are now open to all readers. ASSERTION: The government should help to ensure that no business profits excessively off the sick, disabled, or poor. March 6, 2010, at 11:24 pm — Blogs —
I want to welcome a few new talents to our family of awesome people. Tharuna Devchand is a young lady from South Africa with quite a talent for writing and entertaining. Dan Rickabus is a musician from Michigan who we just featured on the site. We asked him to be our music blogger and he luckily said “yes.” Tharuna and Dan both love to hear opinions and share ideas, so don’t be shy.

This Friday I stayed up until 5:30 AM Pacific in order to do a call-in interview with conservative talk show host Jamie Allman on St. Louis’ 97.1 FM. Instead of discussing the real consequences of the economic crisis and instead of focusing on the realities that it has brought – Allman chose to focus on me and my year of unemployment. |
