Growing up, I had a family friend who was a brilliant musician who would always call me “Dorkmeyer.” He was always very encouraging to me, specifically my creative impulses. When he came home from touring to our little Ohio town, it was always an event, like a rock star coming home. However, he was also a self-destructive alcoholic.

His new song, “Hey Dorkmeyer,” looks back at this situation through the realization of who my family friend’s enablers were. It slips back and forth between a child’s view and an adult looking back.
