Am I just whistling past the graveyard? Here is Trump in the Arlington Cemetery, dishonoring fallen heroes by turning the visit into a campaign event. No man can go lower than Trump. I am, however, noticing for the first time, that the woman standing next to him is making the Devil's Hand Sign. Unbelievable! Did anybody notice it at the time the st…

No New Year's resolutions, only goals. Cancel Adobe and Amazon. Adobe is easy, but Amazon is integral to my consumerist life now. I am determined, however, extract myself from the dubious luxury of Bezos's honey trap.By Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

A wonderful surprise this movie was, taking me back to the dawn of the Sixties, the arrival of Bob Dylan, and the explosion that followed. Incredibly well-done!By Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

On BlueSky, people are posting twenty book covers of the books that impacted their lives, without any explanation or illumination of their importance. So I'm doing a podcast to accompany my choices.By Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

Passed a major milestone today: I uploaded my first test audio file to ACX—The Amazon platform for audiobooks—and it passed! I was so nervous; the technical requirements are rigid and unyielding. So ... I'm including the reading of "Straight Facts About Flapping" here. Listen and learn about Flapping, grasshopper.…

I remember, as a child in the fifties, the Republicans screaming about the Communist threat and the arch-enemy Russia. Reagan called Russia the evil empire. We now have a Russian asset heading into the White House and the Republican party has metastasized into a coalition of grifters and Trump sycophants, all of whom seem to be sucking on Putin's t…

Another year, that much wiser, oh yeah. I'm grateful, although the view is very different from here, much to ponder.By Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

I had a revelation the other day about how I could make money. Any number of people have told me over the years I should do voice-over work. For whatever reason, I poo-pooed the idea. And then I was researching how to produce an audiobook of my own book, "The Rise & Fall of the HoneyBun Empire" and found this website where I could hire voice talent…

I've decided the old title of my memoir "The Gentlemanly Art of Spanking" set up an unrealistic expectation for some people and turned others off. The new edition will be called "The Rise & Fall of the HoneyBun Empire." It will be available soon on Apple Books, Lulu.com, and Amazon. If you want a copy with the Gentlemanly Art of Spanking cover, now…
