Hey @maximumfun.org I like the idea of an ad-free option but I don’t want to lose the updates of the hosts’ live appearances and new creative endeavors like books and comics. Will those go away if I choose the ad-free feed?

Reading the @mrdavehill.bsky.social Dark Regards graphic novel while the thunderstorm tries to decide if it’s going to be a tornado. Pretty #metal.
Hey @jonweisberger.bsky.social I really enjoyed the episode of Mojo’s Mixtape you were on. You have a great way of talking about songwriting that doesn’t make it too mystical but also doesn’t make it sound like an algebra problem.
Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social — I was putting away holiday decorations and found my 80s rock scrapbook in which I curated magazine clippings and such, rearranging and changing each month as I got new issues. Naturally Twisted Sister had the most real estate. #SMF #FortheLoveofMetal #LeaveaScar

Your daily Dorothy Parker
You can do a lot locally with a dedicated group of 15 to 40 people. Regular people should be thinking at that scale rather than at the scale of thousands.
Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social do you play #Wordle? If not, you might enjoy it today anyway.
Hey @meryanroe.bsky.social I’m a serious Muppet fan with a soft spot for MIS if you’re still making assignments. Also you should have @jessethorn.bsky.social on to discuss 2 minutes that feature funk / r&b. He’s a podcast legend and deeply knows that music. #movinrightalong
Wrapping up a pretty great week in North Carolina. Asheville area still recovering but also very ready for tourists. No @deesnider.bsky.social sightings tho.
I will always be more interested in #originalmusic but the great thing about seeing a solid cover band is seeing people (predictably or surprisingly) go apesh*t over a song. The crowd at this all ages community “block party” lost it over a Green Day song.
I reject the notion that we aren’t as tough as previous generations. I literally just used a bayonet to open an Amazon package.
Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social I’m driving past Cheyenne WY with House of Hair on. Made me think of your family. Is your Cheyenne named after the town?
I’m a mean machine.
Been drinking petrol.
The closest I’ve ever been to fighting a robot is beating the shit out of my work printer.
I’ve only spent a total of 6 days of my life in New York City but my awareness of @sgoodyear.bsky.social and @charlietodd.com has led to feeling strongly about making & keeping it a pedestrian and bike friendly environment.
Took @allanmcleod.bsky.social on my 3-mile walk this morning. Bonus episode with @charlietodd.com @improveverywhere.com may be my favorite yet. Thanks @maximumfun.org for bringing us Walkin’ About. #podcast #getyourwalkon
Want to feel like a rock star? Walk through O’Hare wearing a Wayne’s World hat!
You just don’t disrespect guy’s wife. Especially a guy Dee’s size.
Wasn’t about the music. According to his memoir and some interviews, they never paid for a set of stage clothes Dee’s spouse Suzette built for them. One of Twisted’s first national tours was opening for that other band; Dee had to hold back from really confronting them to keep the tour going.
Pretty sure @deesnider.bsky.social won’t join you in praising Krok…umm…that other band. But #hornsup for Accept and Scorps. And Dokken actually kinda came out of that scene.
Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social, this cool new Dee / Udo duet was on Hair Nation this morning. Tell us the story! Did you have to wear camo when you recorded? #SMF #FortheLoveofMetal #LeaveaScar
Hey @deesnider.bsky.social I’ll be at Swannanoa Gathering near Asheville for a week this summer getting my folk on. Wanna drop by to bring some rock to the party? (And seriously, if any of the grandkids is interested in guitar, Swannanoa Guitar Week is amazing.)

Working in Minneapolis for a few days. Will I bump into @johnmoe.bsky.social or John Munson first?

Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social - as a tribute to Marty Callner I rewatched TS: The Video Years. So fun to see the progression of your partnership. Questions: whose idea was using Bobcat in 2 videos? Also (and I know it wasn’t a Callner video) was it Joey Franco playing drums in the Hot Love video?
Just donated to the Veterans Garden LA project that we heard about from Susan Feniger on @gofactyourpod.bsky.social. It’s not only my favorite #podcast, it helps me do a little bit to support things other people love that I otherwise would not know about. (Also, Helen Hong is the funniest.)
Looks gorgeous. That’s usually the Indian dish we make at home but tonight it’s murgh ni (ginger chicken with peanuts and coconut) because we had coconut to use up!
It feels good to be yourself.
