My Alice Cooper concerts span 53 years and last night's show bore a strong similarity to my first. Alice - and the guillotine - are holding up well.

A footnote to Beyoncé's Grammy wins:
Cam, another woman who didn't play Music Row's games and who was exiled from the country mainstream, is now a Grammy winner; she contributed to "more than 20%"'of COWBOY CARTER's runtime.

Good morning. I spent a few days interviewing people who lost their record collections in the wildfires for this @stereogum.bsky.social feature. A heartbreaking piece to write, but in the end it only reaffirmed my love for collecting physical media.

Congratulations, Jessye! @jessyeday25.bsky.social.
The world is falling down and I am in constant fear, but one thing that is bringing me joy is that I’m going to be opening for Lisa Loeb on 2/27.

Back when being a musician was a dream💜
