occasional reflections on culture & politics
The Erratic Attempts YouTube Channel will now feature more regular content. In the past, the focus was on my poetry (which will continue), it now hosts music as well. More importantly, I have started to provide content similar to what you find on this blog - so if you already are a subscriber to the… Continue reading µ#10: More Content on Erratic Attempts YouTube Channel
The new YouTube Channel for Erratic Attempts is open. It currently contains some poetry, will in the future also showcase my music (which is already available as audio on Soundcloud) and maybe some videos.
As I said before, an apology needs to count for something. Will Smith apologized, Chris Rock refused to press charges, even to throw him out of the room.
