About All Access Past:

In the 1980’s, fresh out of College, I launched All Access Pass, a ‘free’ music newspaper, covering the music of the day. Unable to sustain the publication, it folded quickly, and I found myself an entertainment journalist primarily writing about movies. At one time in life, music held an important place in my daily routine, but like a lot of us, the task of existing and the stresses of everyday life, and the challenges of such, eroded that passion.

By reviving the spirit of All Access Pass, I am returning to and rediscovering my first love, MUSIC. Intertwining the personal, along with my interests, and a desire to explore new music, All Access Past is my therapeutic tool to revive not only my passion for music but writing about it as well. While I cannot recapture the past, I want to discover if music can once again bring healing, life, and pleasure to a tired old soul.

Why subscribe?

By subscribing to All Access Past, you will be taking this journey with me, and hopefully, rediscovering your own passion for music, or fueling a passion that never went away. I will be posting new content on a weekly basis, whether it be music reviews, articles, and essays on moments in music history (rock and roll, punk, country, and more), or music personalities, all in the hopes it not only informs the reader but entertains. And, along with exploring my love of music, I will be posting chapters from several novels, I have penned, starting with the novel-length, Random Acts,  along with music-based short fiction, including The Misadventures of a Suburban Punk.
