Discorporate and come with me
Shifting, drifting
Cloudless, starless
Velvet valleys and a sapphire sea, wah wah
Unbind your mind, there is no time
To lick your stamps and paste them in
Discorporate and we will begin, wah wah

Terribly sad news
RIP & thanks for all the music, Mr. Jerry Kennedy who passed away this week. He's the opening guitar you hear on Orbison's "Pretty Woman," the lead on Wynette's "Stand By Your Man," he's on Blonde on Blonde album, Tom T. Hall's producer. One of the greats, without a doubt. youtu.be/REOgLaIQD5U?...

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

as a witness to the rise and fall of Rock™ as a cultural phenomenon, i gotta say the difference between a boomer born in late 1958, like me, and early 1947, like my youngest brother, is immense. we shared a foundation — doo wop, NOLA R&B, surf, folk revival — but i was *born* into it. he *lived it."

big news for some of us. The Sharp Things released two albums on @barnonerecords.bsky.social and we (unexpectedly) performed the longest set by far at their 20-year anniversary show. congrats to Emmy, and wishing Glenn all the best in his retirement from the business side of the music biz.

The Pride Flag is back where it belongs at the National Stonewall Monument. New Yorkers will not sit idly by when our communities are being threatened and their contributions erased. Thanks to Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal for his efforts. My office was proud to join today’s event.
