Today’s classic rock

When I started covering music in Tacoma I was young. 19, as I remember — though it’s tough to recollect back that far because of the herbal jazz cigarettes in between. I remember how I felt when people made a big deal out of my age, inevitably pointing it out, like

Rock the Cause

I always support rocking for the cause. Always. If a cause is worth supporting, then by god it’s totally worth rocking. Now, when I say I support, mainly that means I write about it here in the Weekly Volcano. That’s how I support things. I’m a writer. It just makes sense.

If you ask Jay Bates, a local high school English teacher, Harry Potter doesn’t need any more publicity. Neither does J. K. Rowling, for that matter. “It worries me when I see students reading the same works by writers sold by the millions out of big-box bookstore chains,” says Bates. In

Critical Condition

I looked inside my black pouch, full of once used syringes and other tools of the trade. It was just as I expected. I was almost out of my shit.  Without the shit I can’t function. I can’t live. Without the shit I die. I didn’t have many options, but going

Monday: Comedy Open Mic

Standup comedy hasn't evolved much since the glory days of ventriloquist and puppet. Every so often, there's a Gallagher smashing watermelons or a musical funnyman like Jack Black, but for the most part, comedy is a dude on a stage with a microphone, plodding through a joke-punchline-new-joke routine. You're funny. You
