Happy 80th birthday to Neil Young, an Olympian figure and the subject of some of the funniest quotes in BACKBEATS thanks to his tempestuous relationship with Kenny Buttrey.

“Neil hires some of the best musicians in the world and has 'em play as stupid as they possibly can.”

🧵
For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.

If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.

This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

I’m sharing this as a “gift” article so that it’s not behind a paywall.

“In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald J. Trump spent hours at his house with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims.”

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

BACKBEATS by John Lingan is an electrifying journey through the history of rock and roll, told through the lives of fifteen iconic drummers and their percussion rivals—from John Bonham and Charlie Watts to Ringo Starr and Questlove. Available 11/11! https://bit.ly/4mFvGYZ

Book events are good.
Anyway you'll be hearing a lot from me about WITHOUT CONSENT this week and over the next little while. And if you are in Brooklyn, Upper Manhattan, Portland, and DC, please come to one of my events!
November 11, 2025 at 11:29 PM
Enjoy yourself this evening, DC!

No throwing sandwiches!

Or, hey, do that, if you want, it’s your party.
A reminder that I'll be at Kramers (aka, Kramerbooks) in Dupont Circle with @johnlingan.bsky.social on Tuesday 11/11 at 7pm to talk about his very fun book BACKBEATS: A HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL IN FIFTEEN DRUMMERS, on its publication day. Come hang out with us!
November 11, 2025 at 1:53 PM
BACKBEATS releases today! Like John himself, the book is great company wherever you may go. He covers huge breadths of music history, locates & brings forward the beats & the people behind the singers & the strings, & with deft, memorable writing; solid, quick & with flourishes. Like a drummer!

Veterans are showing up across the country today to take a stand against fascism right here in the USofA.

Please get out there and support them if you can.

Congratulations, always, to Sarah Weinman for doing the work, and being recognized for the work.

“She focuses on the stories of the women behind key cases and crimes, allowing them the depth of hindsight, and the rich humanity that trials by their very nature flatten.”-Rachel Louise Snyder, NYTBR
Today is the publication day for WITHOUT CONSENT, a book I am so proud to share with the world, and that the New York Times Book Review says "is years — decades — overdue."

Read more, and order in your preferred format from your favorite retailer here: www.sarahweinman.com/book/without...
November 11, 2025 at 1:36 PM
Sarah’s WITHOUT CONSENT releases tomorrow. It’s about a man who did the worst things a human being can do, and a woman who tried to do her best. It’s about people who were largely not ready to be on stage in front of the world, or to make history, or create laws, but they did those things anyway.

Good morning, New York!

Please, get out and vote, if you have not already!
November 4, 2025 at 12:31 PM
A couple more hours to collect one of these, on this absolutely gorgeous Fall afternoon, Brooklyn. (And talking to you, too, New York City!)

After that, polls are open from 6 am to 9 pm on Tuesday, 11/4.

Vote for Zohran while you’re there.
