I started the All Along The Watchtower column in 1999, and it appeared weekly in the Biddeford-Saco-OOB Courier during my tenure as that paper’s editor until 2006.
I revived the Gonzo-style column in 2022 as a regular contribution for Saco Bay News. Today, that column resides at the Biddeford Gazette, a multi-media online publication.
The column is largely a satirical hodgepodge, focusing primarily on the folly of local politics. Other topics include observations and opinions regarding a wide range of issues, from gun control and climate change to the stigma that is so often attached to mental illness.
I hope you enjoy reading these selected posts, and as always, I very much value your feedback via e-mail at randy@randyseaver.com
