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.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által

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.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által

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…

Still processing the loss. I truly didn't see it coming. Of course I live in the SF Bay Area bubble. But how we could elect a convicted rapist and felon to the office of the presidency is beyond me.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által

The best music podcast I have ever heard. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I'm very happy he's only 2/5 of the way through his exhaustive and fascinating history of the popular music and the world of the second half of the twentieth century.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által

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…

A mysterious Facebook friend who seemed to have connections to my family in San Francisco. We were penpals for a while. He shared my demos with Quincy Jones, who produced "Thriller" among other things.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által

Four years later, I finally figured out the bridge. A rough recording, on my phone, but I'm happy with the song. The last song I had to finish writing for my next album of originals. Update: I uploaded an newer demo here, having added some rudimentary strings. Now I know what the song can be.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által

I have wondered for decades if the the lines "Someone left the cake out in the rain And don't that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to make it And I'll never have that recipe again" were a joke.

He worked on The Celebrity Apprentice TV show as the Trump family's handler. He loathes them. When Trump decided to run for President, he tore up his enormous NDA and started telling the stories that had been kept secret for so long. He's a great writer and a fine guitarist.

He makes beautiful music with it, but it pains me to look at Willie Nelson's guitar, Trigger. Below is a video of five facts about the guitar. I just learned he uses a guitar pick. That explains the hole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7IKXJ9UJVAKnox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által

The man chased us in his car around the neighborhood for a half-an-hour. We were terrified and thrilled. Looking back, I think it must have been performative on his part. We never rang his doorbell to run away, again. Too scared.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által

I went to a Starbucks this morning for a coffee. They were out of white sugar so I went to a hipster cafe nearby. All they had was "raw" sugar packets. That shit is not sweet and is absolutely not any healthier than refined white sugar. It's just tribal virtue signalling.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által

That's right. These assholes were trying to rob my next door neighbor in the warehouse where I live. They didn't find anything. On their way out, they kicked down the between his space and mine and they saw me. They thought I could tell them where the money and weed was. I couldn't. I'm glad they didn't kill me. They sure threatened to.…

I prefer this version to the one on the album, but both are great. I just love the more delicate sound that reflects the very vulnerable and fragile state he was in, having escaped the cocaine-feuled hellscape that almost killed him in Los Angeles.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által

My friend Greg Jones wrote this beautiful ballad. It will be the only non-original song on my upcoming album. It's very rough and I will be bringing in a cellist to complete the arrangement.Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble által
