Tom Meny officially released his debut album, ‘On My Way’, with a fantastic show at One-2-One Bar in South Austin last night. The place was packed. Meny and his band were on fire. South Austin’s Horseshows & Hand Grenades opened the show with a killer set. Unfortunately, I had other obligations and had to miss the always-amazing Ray Prim - but he did join Meny onstage for some magical moments that I consider myself fortunate to have witnessed first-hand.

Here are a dozen photos from the event. This is number 1 of 12.

The Impaler Speaks: Tom Meny interviewed by The Impaler:

theimpalerspeaks:

It is my distinct pleasure to introduce the world to Tom Meny, a brilliant young singer/songwriter from Austin, Texas. Meny is something special. I favorably compared him to Harry Nilsson – not just once, but twice – in the following interview, and he dodged the issue – deftly! – both…

Dear Ann Coulter of the Day: After Ann Coulter referred to President Obama as a retard in a tweet during Monday night’s presidential debate, Special Olympics athlete and global messenger John Franklin Stephens penned her this open letter:

Dear Ann Coulter,

Come on Ms. Coulter, you aren’t dumb and you aren’t shallow. So why are you continually using a word like the R-word as an insult?

I’m a 30 year old man with Down syndrome who has struggled with the public’s perception that an intellectual disability means that I am dumb and shallow. I am not either of those things, but I do process information more slowly than the rest of you. In fact it has taken me all day to figure out how to respond to your use of the R-word last night.

I thought first of asking whether you meant to describe the President as someone who was bullied as a child by people like you, but rose above it to find a way to succeed in life as many of my fellow Special Olympians have.

Then I wondered if you meant to describe him as someone who has to struggle to be thoughtful about everything he says, as everyone else races from one snarkey sound bite to the next.

Finally, I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift.

Because, Ms. Coulter, that is who we are – and much, much more.

After I saw your tweet, I realized you just wanted to belittle the President by linking him to people like me. You assumed that people would understand and accept that being linked to someone like me is an insult and you assumed you could get away with it and still appear on TV.

I have to wonder if you considered other hateful words but recoiled from the backlash.

Well, Ms. Coulter, you, and society, need to learn that being compared to people like me should be considered a badge of honor.

No one overcomes more than we do and still loves life so much.

Come join us someday at Special Olympics. See if you can walk away with your heart unchanged.

A friend you haven’t made yet, John Franklin Stephens Global Messenger Special Olympics Virginia

This is what I feel like right now: I work crazy hard. I spend my days locked in my studio pouring through manuals and learning how to use music software, listening to my favorite tracks and ABing my mixes, draining every last drop of creative juice into my tracks. And they’re still not good…
