about

Lately I’ve become accustomed to jarring moments of existential crisis. These pauses suck me out of whatever ordinary task I was doing to pose a question, or insert some pang of dread into my day. Lately one question crops up more than others: What does it mean to be American? I used to dodge these big picture questions by retreating into nihilism, booze, drugs, etc. But that has changed. I spend more time at protests than at bars. I go to my studio and write instead of letting waste and emptiness fray the ends of my spirit. I support causes I believe in.

In the spirit of healthy outlets and lending support, I produced and recorded this cover of “Born in the U.S.A.” last weekend. For a song I used to exclusively associate with bad Fourth of July fireworks displays in the small Texas town where I grew up, I can’t get over the depth of its message when it was released, and perhaps even more now.

So I offer up my take on this song, it’s $1 on Bandcamp. All sales go toward Popular Alliance For Undocumented Workers Rights:
