Welcome to Rickenslacker

A musical substack

Why, hello.

I publish a lot, but not usually on music. Which is sad, because I agree with Kurt Vonnegut when he said: “If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: ‘The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music.’”

So from the man who specified to his lawyers the song that should be played at his funeral, and required an extra page to do so properly, here follows weekly essays, interviews & provocations on that holy stuff — with likely digressions through film, TV, politics and media.
