Story Behind The Song: Who Stole My Vape?

Image
  Some of my friends and family were quite surprised by the lyrics of "Who Stole My Vape?" and understandably so. The song starts with an impromptu orgy where a young man lost his vape in a strange apartment. It goes on to describe plates of cocaine with an assortment of unknown people, some of them lovers. Then it gets to the heart of the story - Nepo Babies. "Nepo baby" (short for nepotism baby) refers to children of successful or famous parents—particularly in Hollywood, modeling, or business—who have benefited from familial connections to start their own careers. - Google Gemini While living in Massachusetts my girlfriend and I stumbled into a very large group of Nepo babies. They were mostly friendly for Massholes but we knew there was something wrong. We noticed that they didn't have jobs most of the time yet they always had money. They were in massive debt but didn't seem worried about it. They all had frighteningly huge drug problems. We were invite...

Story Behind the Song: I Want To Be A Trans Am

Image
When my brother told me he was Trans and was going to tackle the full change, I was a little surprised. He then shared the long process he had been through. The therapy, the difficult relationships, coming out to friends and family. All of this was in service of being able to live his true self as a woman.  Years later with the process complete she felt so much better about her identity but she faced a whole slew of political and social challenges. This was very frustrating. At every turn people wanted her to defend all of these controversial stories in the media surrounding Trans people. She had never been a political activist so this was a foreign avenue and one that made her very unhappy. I wrote this song to remind people that being Trans is about the individual and their journey. All of the expectations that follow are outside influences often merely tolerated by those individuals. If they weren't being targeted so viciously their lives would likely go back to the basics of, ...

Alex's Debut Album "We Were Never Enough" Release Date March 15th, 2026

Image
Over the years I was told that I would make a good song writer but for some reason the notion never jelled. I tried a few times to put something together but with no success. What changed? Artificial Intelligence. There are now dozens of software sites that will help you assemble the pieces to make a great song.  I did a little research and chose Suno.com. You basically just have to write the lyrics, pick the style of music and then start producing. The controls range from simple to advanced and if you sign up for their Pro or Premiere plans then you own the rights to anything you create. The writing came easily this time. I'm not sure why. I had five subjects that I felt needed to be expressed and explored them all in depth. Over the course of only five days I wrote and published five songs. The styles range from indie and alternative rock to punk and alt metal. The subjects range from heartbreak and poverty to Trans issues and the Epstein files. I received overwhelmingly positive...

Everyone Was Wrong About Backyard Wrestling

Image
  It was the best of times but few people knew it. In 1999 I got deeply involved in a Backyard Wrestling federation that became known as the EBA. The Extreme Backyard Association performed bi-weekly matches at the home of Jason Sanders in Port Charlotte, Florida. As many as 27 wrestlers from ages 15 to 29 practiced Pro wrestling moves, designed their own costumes and put on full length shows for a live crowd and the video cameras. It was an amazing year except for the naysayers, authorities and critics. They came down on us like a hardcore jobber through a table. One newspaper reporter made fun of our "makeshift ring" while calling our performances a "mockery". A film producer out of Orlando said that we, "Deserved the Darwin prize for stupidity." My boss at the time said he thought our show was, "An Atrocity." I was promptly fired for my involvement. The criticism continued when I wrote a novel about our experiences titled Backyard Empire . Whil...

Be Where You Belong: Why I left Massachusetts

Image
Henry David Thoreau said, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Most believe he was speaking broadly about mankind but I believe he was specifically talking about the people of Massachusetts. I recently met a young man who grew up on the island of Saint Kitts. He told me that he wished has was back home living on the island with his mother and grandfather. Friends, family and freedom, that's all he needed to be happy. Here, in America he felt less free. Here, it's all about money. In the states you obsess over having your payments caught up and your credit high. It's about making sure you have insurance just in case something goes wrong. It's about the scramble of keeping up with bills, taxes and paperwork. It's about climbing the ladder or impressing others with the amount of attention you can gather, by any means. I grew up in Massachusetts. My hometown was Avon but we moved all over the south shore. As a kid freedom meant hanging out with f...
