I’m proud to join other independent Chicago musicians in removing my music from Spotify. The company is taking too big a share of music industry profits and funneling it to inhumane causes. Thanks to Minor Moon, Smushie, and Samuel Aaron for organizing and promoting this effort.
![Oh, sure. But yeah the Stones… People in my neighborhood were calling me Mick for a while because all I was listening to was the Stones. Some Girls, that’s the record I really liked. I really liked disco as a younger kid when I was growing up in Chicago, in the South Side. I used to dance in the kitchen. Then all the sudden it became uncool. “Disco sucks!” Some part of me was like, “I wish it was cool to dance again”. I think that whole movement was started by guys who couldn’t dance. [Laughs.] When I heard Some Girls, that was the Stones acknowledging disco was cool, and it made rock ‘n’ roll sexy and danceable again. It was life-affirming that the Stones did that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m4cbwcbcbpfosl52hllnrbqy/bafkreiep77gbj7aie37ohurq3ggx6nmg5jhepnz5yscobxbco5a4mgx6cq)
