Powerball jackpot is up to $1.5 billion and money is gushing out of Alabama because we can’t buy lottery tickets here. Let’s change that in 2026!

When Joe Ely and Bruce Springsteen jammed on one of Joe's songs. The video quality isn't the best but the sound is pretty great.

I have stumbled on the plains
Staggered in the wind
Stood at a crossroad or two
Cried to a river
Swept to the sea
All just to get to you
all just to get to you - bruce springsteen & joe ely

Joe Ely's version of "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" is stellar. When Joe toured with the Clash in the late 1970s one critic said that, when Joe opened, he poured gasoline all over the place and the Clash came on and lit the match. It was that incendiary.

RIP Joe Ely!

If this song doesn't put some pep in your step and a smile on your heart you might want to have your companions pinch you to make sure you're alive.

My friend Tony Drewry kindly shared this shot that he took of Butch Hancock as Butch played his harmonica at the Tolbert Chili Cookoff in Terlingua last month. Butch, perhaps the greatest Texas songwriter of them all, was onstage and Tony at the back of the crowd with a 400mm lens. So evocative!

Newsom: Anyone checked out my Patriot store? We do have some knee pads. It’s a signature series. They’re sold out at the moment. The universities, and all these law firms, and certain media organizations—I figured they can use these.

Ken Paxton just filed a lawsuit to remove me from office.

But this seat doesn’t belong to him or me — it belongs to the people.

My message to Ken Paxton:

Come and take it.
