The Missive Silo: Editors Note

I will be popping up from time to time with the occasional update or random thought. I promise it isn’t likely to be all that often. I just wanted to say a big thanks to Dave Rine, who has become our most consistent contributor. There’re been 33 of the ‘Punx Against Punx’ comics in about a year plus special 2016 election year installments so far. As it stands now, between January and today, PsychosemanticPress.com already has surpassed the visits we had in all of 2015. So that’s pretty fucking cool. Whoever you are, if you’re reading this, thanks for stopping by….More great shit to come.

When I was in 6th grade I got in trouble for listening to the ‘Love Symbol Album’ by Prince and The New Power Generation at school. They took the tape, wrapped it up in brown paper, and sent it home with me and a note to my parents. I didn’t tell them that my dad gave me the tape. That way the school thought I’d get punishment when I got home and wouldn’t come up with their own.  I think that might have been my 1st time personally witnessing how music and art can scare people. I liked that. It stuck with me even when I didn’t dig his records. I’d share the song that I imagine was the one that got me busted: ‘Sexy Mothrfucker’ but Prince was the master of getting his shit taken down from YouTube.
