About me

Introduction	"Then I turned on the radio and the music made things a little better. The music always does. I’m past fifty now and the music still makes things better; it’s the fabled automatic.” Stephen King, Hearts in Atlantis. The first time I read those words, I thought “That’s it. That is exactly what music is to me.” Dad picked up on it too, and here we are. Welcome to The Fabled Automatic. A blog by a Father and Son about this very idea; that art, especially Rock and Roll, can be automatic. An automatic escape; from problems, from sadness, from the everyday. An automatic transposition; a time machine to people and places long past but defined by a specific soundtrack in our ears and in our minds. And for us, an automatic link; to each other and the way we see the world. Enjoy!
