If you haven't heard Des Rocs' "When The Love Is Gone," remedy that.

Killer tune! 🔥

I’ve got more playlists than I know what to do with… and yet, right before a road trip I’m all "let’s whip up a little something something real quick.”

Maiden. FINALLY! 🤘🏼

Got a chance to say thank you to someone who's brought a lot of laughter to my family over the last several years.

It was a pleasure to meet you Murr. A class act. Thank you for the laughs!

Would you vote for "Weird Al" to be nominated? 🪗

Everything comes back around eventually… right?

So I’m hanging onto this “Lifetime Music Guarantee” from The Wall—just in case they reopen.
