Come together and stand together or you’re next. So many in power have been rationalizing away their responsibility and the need to stand up for others, and consequently surrendering more and more until it comes for them.

Historians, help me out here - has there ever been a US President who unapologetically loathes the American Populace more than this guy?

Any year that robs us of Sonny Rollins, Dolly Parton, Abdullah Ibrahim, James “Blood” Ulmer and now David Fair is a cursed year indeed.

Dolly Parton was among the finest songwriters America ever produced. We are poorer today. 💔

Any American who grew up near Canada knows its people have always projected warmth, civility and kindness. Canada is a swell next door neighbor! I hope our relationship doesn’t suffer long-term damage…

When I left the job I loved in June, I believed I’d be forgotten in a couple of days - that’s how the business is, or so I believed. Here we are, 6 weeks later, and I hear from people every single day re: what my being there every morning for almost 29 years meant to them. I am humbled. Thank you!

Love these TV drug ads featuring jazz musicians living it up onstage thanks to the drug being pitched - like jazz musicians could actually afford those drugs
