Today’s cultural moment — metal edition

December 15, 2022

Anyone who has followed this site for longer than a month or two knows that when it comes to music, I could fairly be described as an uptight traditionalist. When this performance by Brazilian heavy metal artist Dan Vasc popped up on YouTube, my first impulse was to give it a miss, but curiosity got the better of me and I listened. To my astonishment, I ended up loving it. I hope that at least some of my readers will enjoy it as well.

Wasp asked if I would chart a short bio of myself as he/she thought I had an interesting life. This only touches on my work life as I have other interests and adventures.
