A SONG. A LIFESTYLE. A WEEKLY EMAIL.
Rub My
Bald Spot.
I'm Briyan Frederick. I write about flyover culture, making art while aging, and why my bald spot brings good luck.
No spam. Just flyover dispatches.
Life in Flyover Country
We're Getting Older, Not Quieter.
My knees pop like bubble wrap every time I bend down to plug in a guitar pedal. I live 500 miles from the nearest coastal hub, and my idea of an industry networking event is chatting with the guy at the local hardware store. Making art out here in the wild blue flyerover isn't glamorous - but it's honest.
We've got something the trendy kids don't: patience, perspective, and a deep appreciation for a good porch. The creative fire doesn't extinguish just because the hairline retreats. If anything, it burns a little warmer.
