Flying High Again

On this day in history, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville and Wilbur Wright make the first successful flight in history of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft on December 17, 1903. Orville piloted the gasoline-powered, propeller-driven biplane, which stayed aloft for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet on its inaugural flight.

Yesterday, I picked my son up from the airport. He is home from College for the holiday. On my drive to the airport, I was in awe at our ability to travel by plane. Next year it will be 120 years of flight. Air travel made the world smaller. The internet is another invention that has connected us.

The Real Demons of Pop Culture podcast is only 16 episodes into Season 1 and has already been listened to in 49 countries around the world. I remember being in an original band in the early 90s and struggling to be heard outside of the Philly area. Now the few songs I have uploaded are being heard all around the world. I’m big in Norway.

I am excited for everything coming up in 2023. The Real Demons of Pop Culture Coloring Book will be coming out, I just uploaded the second episode of How to Sell Your Soul for Rock & Roll, which will eventually include new songs along with how I made them (with the help of Satan). And I hope to have some special guests on the podcast.

It has been difficult doing all of this and I do it for the love of it all. However, if you would like to help support the show, For as little as $3 a month you can support The Real Demons of Pop Culture and all that I do. The $3 gets you a shoutout at the end of every episode during the time you are supporting the show. It would mean the world to me if you can help. Here is the link to my Patreon:
