Geezer with a Grudge: I Killed A Man

I Killed A Man

There isn't much more to say about this video than what Matthew Cordle says about himself and his crime. There are no perfect worlds, but in a pretty good world his confession would make a few people stand up for their own crimes and prevent a few more from going that route in the first place. It's also a powerful reminder that there are people on the road with no more control of their vehicle than a loose cannon flying around a ship's deck in a storm. Be safe out there.

The Geezer Story

I stumbled upon this column name (Geezer with a Grudge) almost 20 years ago, in 1999. The first Minnesota Motorcycle Monthly editor I worked with, in late 1999, complained that the magazine was getting no mail and the editors wanted to know if any readers were still out there. I fired off a sarcastic note, as a joke, intended to provide a little humor and some feedback. He published it as an article and later called me to say he'd received more mail on that letter than he'd received in the past year! I followed that with an offer to write a monthly column attempting to piss off a particular section of the magazine's readership to see if that tactic would generate some mail.

It did, probably more regularly than the magazine wanted at times, and I wrote a monthly column for MMM until the magazine died in 2018.

I plan to post an occasional old Geezer article into the blog, followed by short comments about the current status of my perspective on our activity/sport/vehicle of choice.
