“Head the gong” is just an idiosyncratic way my friends and I remind ourselves and each other to seize the day, take the bull by the horns, go all-out in everything we do, live life full-throttle, etc. There’s a story behind the phrase. It has something to do with Led Zeppelin, drum solos, and hurling oneself head-first into a gong. You know what I’m saying – Head the gong!
Like everything in life, what I do here will keep changing, evolving, devolving, going in circles. I’m trying to stay connected — to friends, to my deepest self, to that mysterious something that comes alive when I choose creativity over consumption and distraction. If Head The Gong is about anything, it’s about an ordinary person struggling to live a creative and meaningful life. Welcome, and thanks for stopping by.
