From garbage mogul, acclaimed journalist, newspaper publisher, film composer… while always making his bed as a working musician… A whacky trip down memory lane down Michael Lipton.

After growing up in Miami, FL, Michael Lipton moved to rural Calhoun County, WV, in 1973. While there he played in the group Big Money and started King Pin Trash Service, the only trash collection service in the county. In the mid-eighties, after his house was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, he moved to Charleston where he began writing for The Charleston Gazette and freelancing for a number of national music magazines including Creem, LA Weekly, Launch, Spin and Yahoo Music. Lipton served as the editor and co-publisher of the statewide entertainment paper Graffiti for 15 years until it was sold to Ogden Publications in 2004. (Full Article Here)
