OR it's a widely advertised TV event--kind of like a "special" episode of a terrible, violent show that no one should have had to watch in the first place.

Or they show up at the designated time to kill the person, screw it up, wait for the person to (barely) recover, and then reschedule.

I'm not sure, but I think that one of their band-mates died of it. That doesn't mean it's necessarily what the song's about, but they were always linked in my mind.

Except, sappy as it sounds, his songs sometimes make me cry, especially the 1st time I hear them--probably because I know about some of the things that have broken his heart, & then I hear aspects of him that I didn't know except superficially.

My son just released his album New England, From Memory in its entirety. I thought I'd heard all the songs on it, but there are three new ones--a wonderful, unexpected 1 a.m. treat. :) Here's one... #MusicSky #indiemusic #music #newalbum youtu.be/WCJv6uAJdPI

I'm not interested in the theoretical debate about whether Zionism is inherently racist, I'm more concerned with reality and that the actual Israeli STATE is extremely racist and currently engaged in a well documented genocide against the Palestinian people.

A few photos from a day of--well, NOT apple-picking because we learned that they were all already gone when we got there!--in Warwick, NY. It's possible that I once again took a few liberties with, like, color, man. ✌️🌈🌞🍄 #photography

I live three blocks from the park where she and Brando argued (or tried to) in OTW. I have a special place in my heart for that little space at the fence there. She was so good, even while standing face-to-face with Brando. Personally, I'd have been kinda intimidated. And DAMN she was beautiful!

I was usually terrified when I stayed (especially alone!) at my family's old house in the Hamptons--WAY more than anywhere at any time in the city! I could barely sleep at night. I thought of it as the kind of place where "no one can hear you scream." :) I honestly had 911 on speed-dial!

My former friend (we simply lost touch after I moved out of NYC) and co-worker on NYC's AIDS Hotline, Roberta Bayley, took the cover photo. :) I believe she was also CBGB's first bouncer (serious badass who also looks very elegant and graceful--almost delicate!).
