Word arrived this month that I won a 2019 Guggenheim Fellowship for my project on the rock band Jane’s Addiction’s original years 1985-1991 in LA and beyond.  I’m surprised and elated and grateful.  I’ve applied for that fellowship a half dozen times over twenty years.  I guess seventh time is charm.  Here is the Guggenheim’s page for me.

The photograph above is from the November 14, 1990 edition of The Daily Tar Heel at UNC-Chapel Hill.  I attended that show and wrote a little bit about it HERE.  Much more to come, the fellowship enabling me to pursue digressions aplenty.
