I have this wonderful poet-philosopher-songwriting like friend who goes by the name of John DeYoung, and he lives in Ojai with Mother Nature and all her flora/fauna like friends, and sometimes he goes off on these very thoughtful and endless spiritual journeys on life, sorta like he does with his music, and I told him [...]

A little more wisdom from someone I admire tremendously, the man who has survived the belly of the beast, Stolen Boy contributor, Tyler Edmonds: There are those people in our lives who make us question who we are. They pick apart your life, criticizing this or that, telling you what you should or should not have done here [...]

Many people expressed a desire to see tolerance for full civil rights for gays. These, and other cries for social responsibility fell upon many sympathetic ears, and rightfully so. [...]

Honoring Larry King, a fallen friend. There’s no question about the fact that Larry King moved on way before his time. The child was fifteen years old before lightening struck in the form of two bullets, leaving this terribly deep void in the hearts of his friends and community alike. What an inspiration his [...]

Things have begun to pick up dramatically this week as we move closer to commemorating the first anniversary of Larry King’s death, this Thursday, February 12.

Stolen Boy is very excited for the opportunity to meet with the San Joaquin Sisters in Crime this Saturday in Fresno. This will be a coming home of sorts, since that’s where I was born. And from what I hear we’re going to have one very cool lunch at the Yosemite Falls Restaurant, and then [...]
