      IT’S EASY TO take Mötley Crüe for granted. But if we step back from the recent drama surrounding the band and instead focus on the music they’ve created over the last 40-plus years, surely we’ll be reminded that their influence over rock and metal is

      Not Fade Away

      Oct 17, 2023

      THERE HAS BEEN little reason to expect a new Rolling Stones album in recent years. The group hasn’t produced any new music since 2005’s A Bigger Bang, and the death of the group’s founding drummer, Charlie Watts, on August 24, 2021, only seemed to un

      You Dirty Rat

      Dec 13, 2022

      CONSIDERING HOW UBIQUITOUS overdrive pedals are today, it’s difficult to think of a time when they were still in their infancy. Remarkably, the late-’60s to mid-’70s classic rock era achieved its template-setting guitar tones without the aid of any o

      *Not every poem included in this book is dated in chronological order.  This is not an oversight on my part. Rather, I have made changes and substitutions over the years.

      -J.L.S.

      Colors spin

      In your head,

      My dear, and

      I can see them

      As vividly

      As you.

      When one comes

      Out from such

      A long slumber,

      It’s sometimes

      Hard to describe,

      But each new

      Word can surely

      Do it justice.

      3/10/14

      I heard the

      Calls and pangs

      For which the

      Void would

      Have nowhere

      To place

      Anything new.

      Things often

      Unexplained

      Will move to

      See us through.

      3/10/14

      Sounds like a

      Transition, so many

      Which I have

      Dreamed not to

      Slip through my

      Fingers once

      Again…

      3/10/14

      Rattle a part

      Of my brain, which

      Needs to be

      Shaken loose.

      And all which

      Belongs to this

      Night shall

      Also belong

      To you—

      Feelings to

      Carry us all

      To a different

      Time and meaning.

      3/10/14

      I think I’ve

      Had about

      All I can drink.

      Such lively

      Conversation was

      Always meant

      To get me
