I'm back in the pages of the inestimable @xraylitmag with a story about the news, making the news, being the news. Thank you @joshuahebburn for believing in this one.
a great story by Michael McSweeney @mpmcsweeney !! . 'City Desk' is about a reporter who gets paid to write about dreams. after getting carjacked, fired, & having a bunch of strange conversations, dream & reality start to feel like they're blending.

Mozart didn't write an aria for Don Giovanni.
The aria, the musical window into the soul, is a perfect art form.
