Protesters in Portland showing up in costume embody joy as resistance. If those who oppress us can be absurd, so can those fighting for freedom. Humor and creativity remind us that rebellion isn’t only anger—it’s the courage to laugh, to dance, and to exist loudly in the face of control. #Pinks

We have never lived in a more exciting time for music and new musical ideas - but we’ve probably also never lived in an economic climate more directly hostile to musicians and their fans 😅

I heard someone on a podcast say that music is boring now and, look, I am saying this as kindly as I can…skill issue.

Footage from the battle of Portland where musicians came to give a musical support to the war-torn population. May the power of the frog be with them.
