In this episode of The Lookout Guy podcast, I touch on current events, personal challenges, and the best in indie music. I discuss the second anniversary of the conflict in Israel, thoughts on my son’s health struggles, and the impact on his life and my blank space in this podcast journey of 15 years plus I mention the new developments with the RUSH band new drummer, Annika Niles, a recent SpaceX rocket launch from nearby launch site, and all my indie features for this episode of the Lookout Guy podcast.

I was fortunate to have finished it without losing everything. That's the new AI for ya. Podcasters are dropping like flies, but I'm still here. The better news is that the next episode will be all dialed up. But going forward, with this new format, I feel much more confident that my podcast will be more effective for future indie and featured artists. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I CAN NOT CONTINUE UNLESS PEOPLE LIKE, SHARE, AND subscribe to my podcasts, blog, and YouTube. Clik those blogsite ad link$. (-; Please subscribe to my blog, Rumble, YouTube, and Truth Social accounts. I follow dozens of Spotify pages alone, and I have ONE follower on my Spotify V-cast site. Here is my blog where every episode going forward will be listed for the viewer's reference and convenience.

Please note, I will no longer be posting to Spotify video and will begin again with YouTube as long as they don't give me crap about indie artist copyrights. If that happens, I will have to require files instead of using YouTube videos. All my podcasts will be heard on my YouTube and on Rumble. And all my links and descriptions will be posted to my blog right here at,

And someone I saw mentioned this photo choice for the new 2026 tour showed Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson the "green light" to go now with a new drummer after Neil passed away. Very good choice in Anika Nilles. 

Please note, I will no longer be posting to Spotify video. All my podcasts will be heard on my YouTube and on Rumble. It's a sad day that the rest are intolerable.
