Predictions of journalism’s death – and worse for Your Humble Narrator, *music* journalism – have been rife since the mid ‘00s. All those predictions came true the last few weeks. What now?
Thanks for this bit of commentary on the state of music journalism. It does suck. I’m guessing substack is not enough $$$ and fer shure it’s not broadcasting enough like the old media, so how do people come across good criticism that opens their eyes?
On a different note as on of the 98, it looks like my annual renewal will be for $90 and not $40. I’m on fixed income and need to share my love for good writing around. Do you know how I fix this? Signed Bill from the 12& Chicon neighborhood.
Actually Bill, I just looked. You aren't on the $90 plan. You subbed whe I was running a 70% off special! You paid $27 that day, and that is your rate for life! $40 would be a lot more than you are currently paying! Do nothing -- you are set with an even better bargain! TIM

Thanks!! I look forward to the book too!
Amen, Tim.
Thank you, Joe. And thank you for reposting, even if your readers are so short-sited as to complain about a paywall that isn't there! Lol!
But it is the truth. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But if I was Fox News, I'd lie to you, and blame it on the liberals.
I understand.
