Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites... 03/19/2026

by Danny Coleman - published 2026-03-19

"I do, "Floating on the Dreamline;" I'm a music professor at The University of Massachusetts in Lowell, I'm a musicologist by training, that's what my doctorate is in but I've been a singer songwriter in several different formats since I was a teenager," began Alan Williams as he talked about his latest release, a crisis in confidence and more. "So, all of these songs had been closest to my heart in terms of music making; I grew up in North Carolina in Asheville. When I grew up there, there was not a whole lot of music, art or any of the wonderful things that are there now so I was desperate to get out and now I'm kind of desperate to get back because it's such a lovely place on earth and there is such a vibrant music and arts scene there that it sort of calls back to home."

"The 16th" & "Handle With Care"

by Tris McCall - published 2026-03-18

No nation has seen an uglier side of the Atomic Age than Japan. Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain the only cities devastated by nuclear bombs. After surrendering to the splitters of the nucleus, the Japanese promised never to rearm until the bombers (us) gave the okay. Fidelity to that pledge didn't save them from another atomic megadisaster: the core meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor in 2011. Fifteen years later the contamination — and humiliation — remains. If a Japanese person should decline to hear a lecture about the miracle of the split atom, it's not hard to understand why.
