Sometimes Jacks Rule the Realm

Good guys finish.

I will forever be a 311 fan. I’ve been down since 1995, and while I’m not the most excitable of brodels, it’s music that literally pulled me back from the brink at one point. Though my musical tastes continually expand, contract, and evolve, this is the wellspring from which it all flows.

March 11th—311 Day for 24 of my soon-to-be-42 years—means something to me. As bassist Aaron “P-Nut” Wills once told me…

“We are all amazing creatures—especially when we think we are.”

You win some. You lose some. But you keep getting up. You keep doubling down on the dream. You put it all out there and you keep it real.

First they ignore you. Then they mock you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

Sometimes, Jacks really do rule the realm.
