This blog began on January 18, 2016, a proposed daily blog (very) briefly called CC Says that changed its name to Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks) before the first week was done. I honored my goal of putting up at least one post a day every day; over the course of 3,217 days or so--math still isn't my strong suit--this blog's current tally stands at 3,288 public posts, counting what I'm writing here. And that number doesn't count a big ol' bunch of additional posts I've removed from the blog, including several entries that appear in my recent book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1). A Bop a day, every day? Yep. And then some.
After today, I'm retiring the "daily" part of Boppin's mission statement. I'll continue posting here and there, probably at least with the weekly playlist for each Sunday's edition of This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio. The blog will technically remain in operation, but posts will be sporadic, on a when-I-feel-like-it basis. Daily posts? No, those are done for the time being.
Why? I don't feel like doing this anymore. The awful results of the election are a big factor in the decision to stop now, but there's been a version of this post pending for several weeks. That may change--hell, it will probably change--but I also have other projects awaiting my attention. This blog has been good for me, and I'm bummed to give up the daily boppin' forum.
Nonetheless: I guess it's time to do that.
