About

“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 keeps changing, evolving, devolving, going in circles. At this point, the site mainly features my blog, music, and podcast.

Who am I? I am Isaac Dust, a.k.a. Isaac Robert Dust, better known as “Bob D.”
