Punk rock, foreign languages, and communities
This week’s Too Late to Cancel covered a wide range of topics with an incredible set of guests and an on the ground report on how the St. Louis community is coming together to support tornado victims.
I went down to visit the Red Cross shelter at Grace United Methodist Church and speak with the leaders who pulled together a safe place for over 70 folks in just hours. They are saying it was an EF-3 tornado was as wide as a mile at points as it plowed through areas of St. Louis never hit by one before.
I wrote about the tornado and what it means here and nationally just yesterday too.
Grace Methodist is going to have to restock their food pantry and more so any help to them would be appreciated at https://www.graceumc-stl.org/donate
The Guests
If you know anything about the Dropkick Murphys its that they don’t pull their punches in the music or their punk culture. For almost 30 years they have fought for the working man, unions, and the forgotten. They will be joining Unite for Veterans, Unite for America in Washington D.C. on June 6th and I had a chance to sit down singer, songwriter, and bassist Ken Casey to discuss that, going viral dealing with MAGA audience members, and his surprising story about St. Louis baseball fans.
The Panel this week includes the hilarious
, a comedian known for her incisive observations and relatable humor chatting with the brilliant , the powerhouse Public Defender, Survivor contestant, and creator, whose insights are as sharp as her legal mind. We went from growing up in Japan and Hong Kong to trying to tell the difference between Reality…and Reality TV these days.
Finally, JJ the Producer appears in person to tell us about his participation in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride for men’s health. Yes…in person!
The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Today he is riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. He pressed his tweed and polished his boots, and we’d love you to join him in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.

Be sure to be in DC for Unite for Veterans, Unite for America on June 6th too! I’ll be there!
