Some days, you sit down to do some office work - and accidentally learn @brucespringsteen.net 's "Radio Nowhere" instead. #musicianproblems

The crash after a good weekend is real; But for 48 hours, everything was pure magic. We are citizens of Jazz, after all, and we got to be around our people - the ones who take chances for joy and beauty.

"Bruce, nuance is wonderful - but sometimes you have to kick them in the teeth" - @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social to @brucespringsteen.net, about his song, Streets of Minneapolis.

In all fairness, so is Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Can it be any worse?

I legitimately feel like there's a massive upheaval coming in the social media world - there is a ridiculous staleness permeating both major meta platforms (Threads is a joke), and TikTok went completely flat when it became US owned - the content and the algorithms are straight garbage now.

sometimes standing directly in the middle of a stereo field is exactly the medicine I need

lololol I could use the vocal echo shield, admittedly. Everything else is on standby for now.

Last night was the sort of show where there was singing along, dancing, getting up on the bartop, flirting with all the pretty people- and then 3women got into a bar fight with one of them getting completely naked in the process. And then put on just a fur coat and walk around

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itโ€™s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

One of the wild things about resuming work on an album that got put on hold (again) for 2 years is exactly how much my voice has become more deeply characteristically raspy since the Kenosha sessions. Hope you fine folks love some Tom Waits action.
