Sad to hear about Pete Byrne’s passing. Mr. Byrne was the singer and co-founder of Naked Eyes, one of my favorite English bands. Their 1982 eponymous debut is excellent, and one of the few i can think of where each track is an absolute gem. #NakedEyes #rippetebyrne

Today is the first day of Autumn. To celebrate, please enjoy this photo I took of a handsome chimpanzee at the @stlzoo.bsky.social last week. What a great face. Did you know that chimpanzees share roughly 98.7% of their DNA with humans? Crazy!

It’s simply not the Halloween season at our house until we proudly display the Giant Donald Pleasence/Doctor Loomis head. I hope everyone is having a lovey Monday. #Monday #Halloween

Happy #BatmanDay! This is a pic of me and my buddy Oscar as Batman and Robin from Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre’s The Superfriends LIVE. Batman has a lot of gadgets, and it would take audiences many years of therapy to forget Batman’s “Bat Lube” device.

Had so much fun at Zach Cregger’s #ResidentEvil. It’s a love letter to the games that manages to balance scares and a wicked sense of humor. Also, Austin Abrams is terrific.

Sad to hear about Duncan Sheik passing away. He did so many great things, but I’ll always remember him for his voice. It was like a cool drink of water on a hot day. Rest in peace.

Please keep Michael Berryman and his family in your thoughts. On his way home from a convention, his house caught fire. Michael and his wife, Patty lost everything. We're working with his agent on this GoFundMe to lessen the burden Michael and Patty now face.

If you’re having a rough day, please enjoy this moment of zen captured a couple of days ago at the Saint Louis Zoo. This little creature was having the time of its life. @stlzoo.bsky.social

My thoughts exactly. Just odd.

The first time I saw Billy Idol was at the Pageant in 2005, but I’ve been a fan forever. He still has the pipes, the vibe, the songs still hit, and guitarist Steve Stevens remains one of rock’s most imaginative and explosive guitarists. @billyidolfeed.bsky.social @stevestevens.bsky.social

Years ago, I was assigned to be George Takei’s assistant for the day. When I was taking him around and getting him tea, I humbly asked if he could make me his Number One on the Excelsior AND put it in writing. You know what? He did. Happy 60th, Star Trek. May we all live long and prosper. 🖖
