I have been running this blog since 2009 when it was known as The Great Southern Brainfart. These days, Southeast of Heaven is it's name but I'm still the same angry, cranky, bitter fuck I've always been only a bit more now. My Swedish friend Charlie from the band Hellsingin Underground said once, "Don is known for being one of the meanest bastards in American rock journalism." It's nice to be loved. Oh, and I also once took a shit in Anthrax's backstage press room toilet and didn’t flush.
