Hey everyone -
Chris here, coming to you from a town called Chite, in Andalucia, Spain. This is my first monthly newsletter from Substack. I’ll send one of these per lunar cycle, highlighting some of what I’ve posted in the previous month, both as a reminder for folks who want to go back and see what they may have missed, and as an option for those who don’t want to get another freakin email every time I post something on Substack (roughly 3-4 times per week).
If you’re in the latter group, here are instructions for opting out of the more frequent emails in favor of the monthly round-up.
Below is a taste of what I posted in April, including my conversation with Simon Rex about his journey from opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers to an award-winning performance in “Red Rocket,” Zen Ramoun’s harrowing description of fleeing Syria, and my critique of the dangerously delusions of David Brooks in the New York Times. Lots going on. Glad you’re here.
