Marc Dion: Dolly’s dead and the woods are on fire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI ain’t ever gonna use an outhouse, but Dolly Parton used one. That was back in the days when living “off the grid” wasn’t a moral decision, but just meant that the grid didn’t give a damn about where you were, and you couldn’t afford it if it found you. That was when country singers didn’t come from the suburbs of Cleveland, and they didn’t think of a homemade quilt as art. In those days, when Dolly was singing with a skinny, sequin-suited man named Porter Wagoner, there was a fiddle in the ba
Marc Dion: Aging with Snoop (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m 69 years old and I have a Snoop Dogg T-shirt, a black one. On the front of the shirt is Snoop’s picture in black and white. He has a mustache and goatee and braids in his hair. His eyes are half-closed. Maybe he was sleepy when they took the picture. Even though it was the day before her birthday, my wife Deborah bought it for me at a store called Five Below, a store I associate with penny candy sold at $1 a piece and brightly colored clothing and plastic accessories a teenage girl might lik
Marc Dion: The glorious freedom of the ‘N-word’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They took them from us, the employee handbook, it and a bunch of stupid laws about harassment and hostile workplaces. They took the words, all the good words, all the words that let you know who the hell was in charge, which was white people, and in charge of white people were white men. The women got to ‘em, or the Blacks, or a buncha guys who like Broadway musicals a little too much, if you know what I mean. But we’re pushing back. We want all the words back just like we want the statue of Gen
Marc Dion: The strong, silent type (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“How many people said the word ‘cigarettes’ today?” I asked my wife, Deborah. We were trying to figure out how America ended up with a net loss in words spoken. A serious magazine called “Perspectives on Psychological Science” says we speak 28% fewer words every day. According to these folks, in 2005, we spoke 16,600 words a day. That was down to less than 12,000 per day in 2019. “We should have picked up extra words just ordering coffee,” I said. “You order an iced coffee with almond milk and o
Marc Dion: He looks a little moldy, but he’s all right (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My cat, Jack the Cat, is looking a little worn. He’s 11 years old, and he’s diabetic, and he was getting two shots of insulin a day, but he went into remission and there was great joy in the house. Still, we keep an eye on him. In the last few weeks, he’s had a glucose monitor attached to him twice and had blood drawn. Because of this, he has shaved patches on both his sides and his right front leg. He’s starting to look a little moldy, a little like a carpet that’s been walked on for decades. D
