Seattle writer Ryan Boudinot has published an entertaining essay on rock music on the Richard Hugo House website. It ranges from his infatuation with Billy Joel music to a live performance by his band 2AM where he chants,"George Bush [this would be the father] is raping you!" 50 times at his hometown's centennial celebration. It's a great read.

Of course, Ryan was one of the early entrants to our pantheon of canned coffee drinkers with this review on our sister site, cannedcoffee.com.
