“When Vinnie from the Punk Rock Museum reached out about working together on a vinyl release of BFS demos, I was instantly in! The museum is my home away from home. I absolutely love that place, the staff, and all the events they do. Plus, I love the idea of sharing a look inside the songs before they are polished and ready for the public. I have all this stuff sitting around, so I am really glad we get to share some of it!”

Today I attended my daughter’s convocation at Toronto Metropolitan University, where she earned her BA. I couldn’t be prouder of her dedication, hard work, and determination.
When she was three years old, I told her she would have a choice in life: to work toward a good life or a difficult one. She chose the good life, and she has stayed true to that choice ever since.
Watching her receive her degree today was a proud and joyful moment. Good choice, sweetheart. Your dad and I and all of your family are so happy for you and proud of everything you’ve accomplished so far.❤️
