Notes about these results (3/16):
* Chronologically, 7 out of 10 of my most read posts appeared within the past year, so hopefully I'm getting more interesting.
* My most extensive writing involves the Mighty 55. This is a separate blog devoted to the most important rock 'n' roll. The blog posts referencing it, above, are summaries. Here's a link to the blog itself. Incidentally, the most popular entries are The Kinks and Janis Joplin (tie), followed by Radiohead (5/22/16 update: most popular is now my #1, Natalie Merchant. My #2 "The Greatest Rock & Roll Band" and #46 The Kinks, are tied for 2nd. Janis, #49, now at #3).
* Here are a few musings RE: my most popular:
#7, from way back in 2010, was a critique of Aaron Schock, the now disgraced ex-congressman who resigned after it was revealed, in '14, that he had misused campaign funds.
#4 is actually another idea that I used to tease my little twitter idea (which, itself, was only revealed half a year later: #8).
#1, my most popular, is a list of positions that the Republican party could adopt in order to move itself back to being a more centrist party.
