Just saw Jon and Sally perform in San Francisco. As funny, biting and relevant as ever.

“'Shhhhh,' [Joan Baez] said, and pulled me into a changing cubicle. 'We’ll hide here, and I’ll grab you John Lennon’s shirt for a keepsake.' And damn if she didn’t snag it from his dressing cubicle. I had it for years." missionlocal.org/2026/10/it-w...

It was 60 years ago! My night at Candlestick with the Beatles

Joan swooped up her sisters and me, and circled the room, introducing us to each member of the band. My eyes were two pinwheels.

May they all be bit by Lone Star ticks or see their Greek vacations homes burn down.

I put on her record with the Kronos Quartet, "You've Stolen My Heart, Songs from R.D. Burman's Bollywood." Maybe the purists might object but it was as lovely as I remembered.

This was an excellent article and truly thought provoking. Most surprising discovery: you seemed to actually like Project Hail Mary (?)

Long time retired journo here. If i'd been at that press conference I'd like to have asked one question: "Mr. President if Maduro is convicted of drug trafficking will you pardon him?"

Bruce Springsteen playing my Jersey Shore high school prom in 1970 with his then band Steel Mill. I was on the committee that chose him.

I agree Bob. Pumped me up for the No Kings March today. It was great to see you and Carola there.

Certainly a top ten book of the year. Remember during the pandemic when everyone was showing off the Power Broker on their shelf during Zooms and TV appearances. I have Freaks well positioned for maximum exposure during all Zooms (and any interview that might come my way).
