Hi, Friends!

I write about history, music, and the impact of technology on how we live. I try to make it fun and easy.

“Slow History” is when I pick a whole season of a TV show, typically from the ‘70s and ‘80s I structure each post around an episode and give you a take on what was going on that same week in cultural, musical, and political history.

I also wrote a little blurb on each of Pitchfork Magazine’s Best Albums of the 2010s.

Here’s where we’ve traveled so far:

  • 1971 : All in the Family

  • 1974: Good Times

  • 1981: Hill Street Blues

  • 1984: Family Ties

  • 2005: Saturday Night Live

  • 2016: World Series (Chicago / Cleveland)

It’s hard to explain! Sometimes explaining things just makes them more confusing.

Please enjoy this project. And share it with friends!
