People have been writing off radio for too long. But as I discussed in a recent magazine piece, there are still many cities where radio is live & local & playing great songs. And maybe some stations are rediscovering Rush. My new blog post about why radio matters is here. dlhalperblog.blogspot.com

I still don't think she's a good fit and I'm not crazy about her drumming. I still think she lacks groove and in some parts she still does go against the groove. Particularly the kick in the sections where she's hitting the cowbell. If you listen to what Geddy is doing, she's not playing with him.

Because I spent 4 decades in broadcasting, I interacted with FCC policies many times. But in all my years in media, I've never seen anything like this current FCC. A few thoughts about that in my new blog post. dlhalperblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/keep...

It's Women's History Month. Kathryn Cravens was one of the first network newswomen, debuting on CBS News in the early 1930s. Her expertise was in what we today would call Human Interest Stories. One of the early fans of aviation, she would fly to different cities to interview interesting people.

It's Women's History Month. Lillian D. Rock became an attorney at a time when few lawyers were female. An advocate for women's involvement in politics, she founded the Committee to Elect a Woman President in 1935. Sadly, she never lived to see it happen. What would she think of today's politics? 🤔

I'm a big fan of Rush tribute bands because they keep Rush's music alive for fans everywhere. Recently, I saw an up-and-coming band called A Farewell to Kings (AF2K) & really enjoyed the show. They interviewed me about Power Windows, and you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUHY...

I'm curious about 2 things. Thing one: do the images in my new blog post show up? And thing two: what are your memories of 1974? Join me for a trip down memory lane to the year when I first played Rush (& other things happened too). You can read more in my new blog post: dlhalperblog.blogspot.com

On June 23, 2015, I saw Rush in Boston during the R40 tour. It was an amazing though bittersweet night: hanging with Alex, watching the concert with a journalist friend, knowing it was the last time I'd see Rush perform live. And I blogged about it here: dlhalperblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/just...

I don't always blog about a current event; but this time, I needed to do it. I doubt my conservative friends will be happy with this one, but I hope they'll at least give it a read. Here's the link to my new blog post, about what happened over the weekend & why it matters. dlhalperblog.blogspot.com
