“Don’t Gas Yourself Ack, The Industry’s Just A Better Built Cell-Block…” Mos Def: “Hip Hop” [audio: http://rubyhornet.com/media/rh/music/mos_def_hip_hop.mp3|width=180] I definitely learned some valuable lessons over the last week about how the music industry, and the Chicago “scene” works in particular.  Ups and downs are a normal part of any profession, but for anyone who rides a […]

Treasurechest’s Blog #9: Sleep When I’m Dead

“I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now,” sings Bob Dylan in “My Back Pages”.  In all honesty, I had to look up that song’s name prior to writing this and can’t readily recall any of the other lyrics.  But, for some reason, that one line has stuck with me since I […]

RTC: Treasurechest’s Blog #3

I was going to start this blog on a bad note about how sick I got this week, and how I had to miss our night at Angels and Kings, which many of you went to and sent me texts asking if I could get you in and/or why I wasn’t there…Well, try to tell […]

Anyway, this is number 2 of the RTC blog…I only got about 6 more months til I catch Naledge…For those wondering, T-Mobile managed to keep me on their network all week, they […]
