One of the things I like about Dream Academy is you can listen to their version of "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" and avoid Morrissey! 🤪 This is what a BlackTape video would have looked like in '86, if I had a budget + good equipment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=En1I...

I answered Black Tape For A Blue Girl fan email. Two from Florida, and two who didn't say. Q: What advice would you give me as I continue to navigate my life? S: I can't say for you personally. For me at 20: Chill out! It's not as important and serious and stressful as you make it out to be.

In this vein: don't give up your publishing / songwriting rights. Elvis wanted to record Dolly Parton's"I Will Always Love You." Colonel Parker demanded she sign over 1/2 the publishing rights for Elvis to cover it. Dolly refused. In the 90s she earned $10 million+ from Whitney Houston's version.

#NotMusic Oregon established vote-by-mail as the standard voting method with the passage of Oregon Ballot Measure 60 in 1998. The President doesn't control U.S. elections; I'll quote Ontario Premier Doug Ford: “I have a lot of real estate on my ass, so (Trump) has a lot of room to kiss my ass.”

God: You have to use a light touch like a safecracker or a pickpocket. Bender: Or a guy who burns down the bar for the insurance money. God: Yes, if you make it look like an electrical thing. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
