Hi, I'm Jon Sands.

I am reading Brenda Shaughnessy's "Karaoke Realness at the Love Hotel." Brenda Shaughnessy's dazzling ability to get to the heart of the matter is a light that I continually find myself following, and this ... meditation on authenticity that, at least to me, reads, in some ways, like an "Ars Poetica," is stunning, and I hope you like it as much as I do.
