Grandma's taking the kids tonight.... 😆

In all seriousness, this movement has been updated with the times to be a Day of (No) Silence -- and it was held last Friday: www.glsen.org/dayofnosilence

Had a blast in Alexandria, Minn., yesterday!

FYI, according to Roadside America, "Big Ole was built in early 1965 as a second-year addition to the 1964-65 New York Word's Fair."

Leadoff track "Bouncing Around the Room" was my gateway to live Phish, so it means A LOT to have this on vinyl finally. ⭕

IMHO "One From the Heart" is one of the most underrated films of all time -- and its beautiful soundtrack isn't talked about nearly enough!

Say what you want about posthumous "collaborations," but this one has quite the lineup: Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, Lauryn Hill, members of Aerosmith, Chuck D, the Roots and many more!
