In a 2014 interview for McPherson Guitars, Jacobs described his typical day as, “I wake up in the morning and have my coffee, and eat my Cheerios. Spend some time with my wife and I’m pretty much writing a song every single day at 12 o’clock.” Sometimes “a song just happens like that,” he said, snapping his fingers.

We know that queer books remain among the most targeted in the current book ban ~curation~ wave and we also know that Pride displays have historically been among the catalysts for book banners to come out against the library.
