Kinda shocked at how much Mirren looks like her!

I’m sensing something, yes. Antisemitism. What does Botstein and the Epstein scandal have to do with MEGA? What does Steven Speilberg have to do with Epstein? How are you different than the creeps who would write my name in (((parentheses)))?

I know throwing money around is not going to solve a problem that is deeply culturally rooted, but survivors *do* need support, and these organizations are working towards incremental change we desperately need. So grab some music?

Subsequent media attention has been especially triggering for women, most of whom have suffered sexual assault & harassment themselves.

Ever since Cornell's student paper ran the "Cornell Won't, We Will" story naming the 7 men who raped Jane Doe for hours, I've felt, as I assume most of you have, furious and sad.

Being bloodthirsty enough to sentence a human being to die, yet unwilling or unable to properly execute the execution due to incompetence and indifference is the most American thing I’ve ever heard, actually 🦅 🇺🇸

I have never done a patreon before or paid for a substack or any of that stuff, because I'm a cheapskate and I'm cranky, too. But I just ponied up for this, because it sounds cool as shit.

I've actually never done cocaine before, but I'm nothing if not a team player. Happy to be part of the Halloween cover band massacree at Tubby's, playing music by one of the most reviled bands ever. ALL BALD BAND. #ivehadaroughnightandIhatethefuckingeaglesman

The Eagles first album cover, but above the eagle (with "eagles" written across it) it says "bald." More text reads: Tubby's Kingston Halloween, Tickets on sale now. Below the eagle is an egg wearing glasses.

I have a dream marriage except for she likes Ted Lasso and everything about it drives me nuts.

Local pals: mark yr calendar. My solo shows are vanishingly rare, and this one is a great double bill at the greatest bar in the world.

A man plays guitar. Another msn holds a snare drum. Both are in triple vision psychedelic colors. Text reads: JOHN BURDICK TRIO. MAR LERNER. TUBBY’S. october 21.

Beautiful memorial gathering for our beloved Marlon Cherry at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery. Played bass with dear Syd Straw and heard from a roomful of people who all loved our sweet friend.

I’m trying to counteract feeling crappy all over from yesterday’s covid shot by focusing on being smug about vaxing myself.

By trying to remember anything at all about the movie? Oddly, I remember the book a bit better.

And still playing songs from that tour! Young me saw that tour at our local hockey arena and the show actually ended up on an album many many years later, which I bought. I recall the show being great but the album gives the lie to that memory.

Almost 25 years ago my friend Mark Donato wrote this & sang & played drums on it. I played guitars & bass an produced quickly & cheaply. It was for a Village Voice charity LP in response to 9-11. Rejected in favor of an LP of songs like "New York, New York" & "Amazing Grace," mostly by non-NYers.

I once saw Elvis Costello (1983 or so, with the Attractions) come out for an encore in a gorilla suit and sing “Cha Dooky Do.” It was puzzling.

Oh, yes. No musician would bat an eye at "let's start the song with a fill." You're not a nonmusician!

Mark Lerner @ragandboneshop.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

(I've never heard anyone refer to any drum bits as riffs. I'd definitely call a drum intro a drum intro or an intro fill.)

RIP Gloria Steinem. In the 1980s, I was in a bookstore waiting in line to buy a copy of an Evelyn Waugh book. Long line. Finally got to the front, plopped my book on the table and a puzzled Gloria Steinem looked up at me, wondering why some dude wanted her to sign an Evelyn Waugh book.

Rare Bob Dylan clips and Bill Frisell! NYC, you are not always terrible.
