Springsteen rocks against Bush

Rocker Bruce Springsteen has stayed out of party politics for 25 years, but now he says the stakes are too high and he’s urging fellow Americans to vote President George W. Bush out of office in November.
A day after he announced he would join two dozen other stars in nine “battleground” states for a rock ‘n’ roll tour aimed at ousting Bush, the man known as “The Boss” explained his decision in a sharply worded editorial.
“Personally, for the last 25 years I have always stayed one step away from partisan politics,” Springsteen wrote in The New York Times, noting he built a career singing about universal issues like human rights, dignity and freedom instead.
“This year, however, for many of us the stakes have risen too high to sit this election out.”

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
