Johnny Bower Lost A Fan

This short essay on my Mom’s Dad, my Grandpa, is kind of mixed up but hopefully it will make some sense by the end. Grandpa served in the military in two wars, the Navy in World War 2 and the Army in Korea. He always had stories to tell about his life in or out […]

Multiple Takes

So I am into watching movies a little less than listening to music even though I watched and or owned movies well before music. The first movie I saw in the theatre was a double bill of Return of The Pink Panther & Star Wars: A New Hope in 1978. Return of The Pink Panther […]

Friend Or Foe Or Just No One I Know?

A little while ago a longtime friend (now former friend) barked at me for getting vaccinated because you can still get covid with your 3 shots. I’m seriously upset about this for several reasons which I’ll shortly get into. They told me that the only masks effective are N95. Which my wife and I already […]

Pandemic Music Blues

So recently I sent out some short messages to a few venues and bands who had invited me to their events. The message basically stated that I won’t be attending any shows because of restrictions being lifted and subsequently cases of Covid19 and variants are doubling every week. This scares me as much as it […]

This includes music venues & musicians. If you have my art (photography or otherwise) I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me out. […]

In The Out-Crowd

TRIGGER WARNING! I’ve been triggered but most likely you, the reader, will NOT be triggered by this nobody rant about nothing. When I was 12 or 13 I started buying punk records. Mainly Canadian but a few American and British. At school I got shit on from one side (I never once got shit on […]

Lacking Human Capital

This Alan Moore quote is me concerning the UCP’s Alberta. An Alberta that is angrier and uglier than ever and I no longer recognize most of the citizens. My friends and some of my family are not included. Most days I’m tired and sad. Most days I worry about my wife and my livelihood here. […]

The Mohawk Resistance 30 Years On

I, Corey Hamilton, acknowledge Treaty 6 territory—the ancestral and traditional territory of the Cree, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, as well as the Métis. I acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for generations. I am grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with […]
