JOHN ROSEBORO

😔❤️‍🩹 Apologizing, 💊👨‍🎓 Nootropics, 👙🧐 Hanes Crew Socks and Boxer Briefs, and more.

John Roseboro is a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter known for his innovative post-bossa sound. I had the privilege of catching him live at Elsewhere a few months ago, and it was one of the best performances I’ve seen in years. His music feels like an antidote to everything dull and lame— it’s sincere and easy on the ears (be sure to check out my favorite track, “Alt Ego,” and the music video for it that dropped last week). From living with the Amish to working as a mortician for several years, John has lived a colorful life that shines through in his music. His most recent album, Fools—a no-skips project—was released last October and is a must-listen. Lucky for us, John’s here to tell us what he’s been into.

APOLOGIZING
And forgiving. As soon as you recognize that you’re in the wrong, regardless of if you feel sorry, apologize. And as soon as a hatchet is surrendered, bury it. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Ask for mercy, ask for grace. Seventy times seven. Remember how much you’ve been forgiven. Make it right with your friend, with your enemy, with yourself, with God.

💊👨‍🎓
Nootropics
Reishi, Ginseng, Creatine, L-Theanine, Ashwagandha, St. John’s Wort. I stay away from the synthetic stuff or anything requiring a prescription, but this is what I’m on. My mate is laced. Now you know.

Piero Piccioni
Piero Piccioni was a prolific film score composer and, for me, the greatest of all time. He’s gained some recent popular interest, but really listen to these arrangements. His discography is inexhaustible but not much is known about him. Some of my favorites are “Canone Classica” and “Magic” but really anything with “Theme” in the title.

Wikipedia
What a resource… At any given time I will have several Wiki tabs open. At the moment, I’m reading articles on Boethius, POSIWID, Counting Cards and the Cornball Express (Roller Coaster). Admittedly, I have never donated a dime to this site.

It is boastful to speak of the future in absolutes. We say “Deo Volente,” God willing.

🩰🌃
Ballet
I don’t know anything about ballet, but I enjoy watching it and respect dancers highly. I enjoy going to the theater in my going to the theater clothes and sitting in that dark, cold room hypnotized by beautiful bodies and their superhuman athleticism. Sometimes it can be overwhelming. Sometimes I leave during intermission.
