This week I ramble about yet another week in Las Vegas. Seemingly one of my homes away from home, I've probably spent more time in this city than anywhere else in my adult life except for NYC and maybe LA and London - all palces I've actually lived. Went to the opening of the new Crossroads Kitchen, saw a Bill Burr show and got to meet and hang with him backstage, saw my NINTH Jack White show of his current tour, went to my first Vegas rave style ppool party, and hiked over 20 miles in the desert and didnt manage to spot a single Ratlesnake. A boy can dream!

This week I ramble about being back in Salt lake City, and about how when you close one door, others magically open. Just when I felt like I had a whole plan for the summer, things changed. That's why it's always good to have a plan A, Plan B and Plan C percolating at all times. Both for travel and for life in general.

This week I ramble about being back on the boats and how good it felt. Sort of forgot how awesome this thing I strated 20 years ago really is. Can't wait to do more now. But it still wasn't enough to keep me down on the proverbial farm, as I'm already back in Utah and continuing my 2-wheeled adventures!

This week I ramble about not having time to be in a rush. And I recap a mad dash week of riding my motorcycle through the Great Salt Flats of Bonneville, hotel clerk propositions, the temptations of Nevada brothels, the 2022 Supercross season finale, an 1,100 mile roundtrip 36 hour drive to retrieve my belongings from Yellowpine. For good. And where I might end up next.

Steve Poltz is a modern day troubadour, touring relentlessly and playing long and winding and energetic as all heck live solo acoustic shows. Some of you might recognize his handsome face as the guy in the Jewel video for “You Were Meant For Me” a role he shared by being the writer of the song! We first met when I booked his old band the Rugburns at wetlands and then let them stay in my tiny apartment. And we’ve stayed buds over all these years. We caught up on my former town of McCalm Idaho and chewed the fat for an hour about life, love and the pursuit of just being. Check him out some more at www.Poltz.com

Thsi week I ramble about being on the road again. I'll be picking up my best girl, and even better motorcycle, Miss Lucille, tomorrow and riding out into the desert. Without a net. And putting my antennae up to cath the signals form the unierse and let it guide me towards what's next. Trying to bend the universe to our desires is a fool's errand. So I'm off again in search of even more adventures.

This week I ramble about where I want to be and what I want to do. And about how I'm just a human, being. Not needing to be *doing* much of anything. I'm so over the worries about achieving the next thing. Of having a destination for myself, professionally or financially. And about how it's fine to just be, maaan. All we need to do in this topsy turvy world right now is to be ourselves. And that's more than enough for me. For now. For right now. I'm just a human. Being. And that in itself is a remarkable feat.

Back in the New York Groove with a double length episode. This week I ramble about being back in NYC and my trip. to Detroit Rock City!! Just got back from my THIRD rock n roll pilgrimage to the Motor City. Past trips were to see Eminem & Insane Clown Posse and this time was for the hometown tour kickoff of Jack White at the 5,000 seat Masonic Temple. And also just happened to include a surpise propsal and wedding of Jack White and his blushing bride Olivia Jean. What a long strange trip it's been!

This week i ramble about the crushing avalanche of anxiety that I have been surfing for the past week and a half. I've managed to ride it out with no crashes, but it's been a bit of a white knuckle job. Moving out of my back country cabin, car breaking down, headed to NYC for a bit, and once again leaving whatever relative safety web I had weaved. I'm about to shoot myself, yet again, into the great unknown wide open.

We are BACK! After an unplanned 6 week hiatus, due in equal parts to back country isolation, low level depression, and just not feeling like I had much to say, I return this week to ramble about life, love and the pursuit of scrambled adventures and a clear mind. I took break from clearing out this house to chew the proverbial fat about what’s gone down here and what might be next. In the words of the late great Tom Petty - tomorrow I depart, once again, Into The Great Wide Open, with only the slightest idea of what’s next. On the road again, indeed.

After a couple of heavy episodes, I'm taking a week off of recording something new, and instead posting this interview with Dick Dale. I promoted all of Dick's NYC shows since 1999, but more importantly we developed a very close friendship. And I considered him to be father figure. I think you'll get that vibe from this long convo. Take care of yourselves. I'll be back next week with some fresh TWJ rambles. Love y'all.

It's been 6 years since I lost my best friend, Rockin' Rodney Speed. This week's episode is entirely dedicated to him. I tell lots of stories and play recordings of him talking about his favorite music. And some recordings of our band the Rodney Speed Experience. and tons of friends chime in with their memories and tributes. and I close it out with my moving eulogy form his funeral. Viva La Rodney. And Rodspeed.


Here's the first installment of what will be a semi-regular feature of this podcast - Fridays With Friends - where I'll be interviewing some of my buds. Matt Stocks is the Larry King of Rock N Roll. One of the best interviewers out there, and Ive ben on his podcasts twice. And this week I turn the tables and interview him about his upcoming book Life In The Stocks Volume 2 and then we dig into his relationship with alcohol and his newfound sobriety.

It's not often I finish recording an episode and think "Wow, that was a great one!" but today was exactly that. It's 2 hours and 21 minutes about my relationship with alcohol. And depression. Because of course they are more closely interwoven than the kevlar fibers on a bulletproof vest. A lot of people have reached out lately telling me I've inspired them on their own journeys of sobriety. So I laid mine all out right here. Plus I get into my love of Primal Scream and Bobby Gillespie's new memoir Tenement Kid. Would recommend!

This week I ramble and reflect on 2021, the holidays and how I got here. I dive into my feelings on capitalism, loss of ambition, not wanting to be a cog in the machine of money-making, and what might be next. Are you feeling overwhelmed with everything that's happened this year? I am too. But it's OK! And I dig into why it's OK, and how I continue to push back against deep seated feelings of insecurity, loneliness and isolation. And I do it all in a way that I can almost promise isn't depressing. But instead, uplifting!! Inshallah.

This week I went in an exciting new direction! I posted on FB asking for topic ideas about 30 minutes before I sat down to record - and I went through and addressed them all. How I ended up in Yellow Pine, how we get groceries here, what was the first guitar music that affected me, paintings of myself, glitter removal strategies, my best friend Rodney and much much more. That was exceptionally fun as I was reading the ideas in real time so didn't have anything prepped. Will def do this again!

This week I ramble about the origin story of the Unicorn and the Dolphin. Topical this week because I went see Whitney Cummings do standup in Boise, and it all ties together because of her obsession with this tattoo. I also get into why I love to stay at the Cabana Inn in Boise and I detail the dead bodies my boy Hector the Chambermaid has found in rooms 25, 47 and 51!

This week my ramblings take their cue from an Edward Abbey quote about burnout which closed with the phrase:

I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards.

So get out there and kick over the metaphorical rocks on the rod of life. And see whats underneath. Whats The Worst That Could Happen??

This week I ramble about my first full week in my house in Yellow Pine. And the writing process. And the dread of dredging up a lot of painful memories from my childhood. But it's not all bad! Its been a lovely week actually. And mostly uneventful, which is what I asked for by moving here.

This week I ramble from my new home in Yellow Pine, Idaho. Finally settling in and reflecting on what's sure to be a long winter. I've finally started writing this book in earnest.

This week I'm back in Las Vegas, Nevada to see The Rolling Stones! I ramble about how it feels to be here, the Stones show, a few other adventures, Valley Of Fire, Red Rock Canyon, and how it feels to have one last fun trip before I go back to Yellow Pine, Idaho for the winter to sequester myself to write a book. And all the insecurities that said book brings to the forefront of my mind. Plus how I've been keeping my mind in shape. Hint: meditation. LOTS of meditation.

This week I'm posting a podcast I guested on - Stoke The Fire Episode 35. We dive deep into my mental health struggles, breakdown, suicide attempt, and ultimately my recovery. Which is ongoing. We laugh, we cry - a lot - laugh some more and end with a lot of smiles. It's not easy keeping a Positive Mental Attitude. It takes a lot of diligence and daily work. But it's worth it. And so rewarding. It's important for all of us to remember that every day we have a choice to make. We don't HAVE to be alive. We GET to be alive!

This week I ramble about home. What it means, how to find it, grab it, know it's for you, and lean into it. This past weekend I finally made the move form McCall to Yellow Pine Idaho. which is currently undergoing a massive population boom. From 23 this past Friday to 24 when I moved there on Saturday! Deep int he heart of nowhere, its an old mining town 3 hours from the next town or grocery store or any sort of signs of civilization. "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro!!" Hunter S.

And how I ended up in the relatively tiny town of McCall, Idaho and how I've now moved to the completely tiny town of Yellow Pine, Idaho. Population 24. Plus an audience Q&A to cap it off!

This week I ramble about energy. And being a turbine. Are you an energy consumer or an energy source? And I reflect back on a year in McCalm, Idaho and the excitement and trepidation of moving on to the desolate yet exciting environs of Yellow Pine in a more permanent way. And crashing my motorcycle. Again. As Hunter S Thompson so famously wrote "Buy The Ticket. Take the Ride."

This week I'm doing something different and putting out an episode the Very Ape Podcast hosted by my friends Sean and Cass. I recorded this a few weeks after I got out of treatment for suicidal depression in early 2020. This was the first time I spoke publicly about my struggles, and was a real revelation to compare and contrast how I was feeling then to how Im feeling today. Sean and Cass are an extremely talented film making duo and I would highly encourage you all to check out some of their documentaries on their website http://www.veryape.tv

This week I ramble about getting out of my comfort zone. I rode one of the most remote dirt roads in America, that cuts right through 3.5 million acres of undeveloped land. The largest such swath in the lower 48. And about how terrifying it was. But ultimately rewarding. And then I recap a wild and woolly weekend where things devolved into utter bedlam up at the Yellow Pine Tavern. All's well that ends well, though. For now. I guess ;)

What a joy it is to be alive. Life suits me. And Im gonna stick around and keep doing all of this for as long as I can. And sharing it with y'all.

I this week's episode I ramble about how I became a Juggalo! I go deep into my history of loving Insane Clown Posse, getting wrapped up in their fanbase, attending multiple gathering, tons of hijinks and adventures running a bus trip to the Gathering of the Juggalos and getting beaten senseless by a group of maniacs at the festival in 2012. I also dig into some epic off road motorcycle adventures I had this week. 150+ miles of dirt roads without seeing a stitch of pavement!

This week I ramble about another week of adventures in Yellow Pine, and how I walked into what I thought was going to be an enormous ass kicking by a bunch of roughneck ruffians trying to steal my motorcycle from my campsite in the middle of the night. But I didn't back down. And Im still here, dammit. I also reflect on the importance of perspective, and the how it can make all the difference in the world when you choose to understand you don't HAVE to be in your situation, you GET TO be in it.

This week I ramble about the importance of being present. Of being here in the now. There is no past and there is no future.there is only the now, so make the most of it. And the age old importance finding something to do that puts you in service to others. Whether that's booking shows for them to play and / or enjoy, or being a bartender and helping a wonderful woman with her little tavern out in the middle of nowhere! Or just being a good friend to the people you love, and who love you back!

After being a successful concert promoter for 23 years, and working in the rock n roll biz for 35 years, I finally admit to myself, and by extension to the listeners, that Im over it and don't want to do it anymore.

It's been a weird week. Last week's episode was a huge release and led to a lot of catharsis but also the reopening of old wounds. I received a lot of outpouring of support yet it's all been tough to process. It was a bit tough to organize my thoughts, so please bear with me. This week I work through some of that and recount a few adventures of white water rafting and a trip to a tiny town called Yellow Pine.

18 months ago, to the day, the Las Vegas Police Department broke down the door of my room at the Cosmopolitan to save me from my suicidal self. Sort of. As weird as that seems, this isn't a depressing episode, but more has to do with why I chose Vegas as my final stop when I was suicidal. Spoiler alert - I'M STILL ALIVE! And very happy to be here.
