Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:

“Most artists are concerned about how long they’ll be around. I’m concerned about how long my music will be around.”
- Prince

On this day 2016, Prince passed at 57. It's been a decade since the end of The Purple Reign. Stunning musician, Rock, R&B, Pop & Funk legend, beyond brilliant guitarist.

Prince passed away 10 years ago today.

RIP, your music lives on.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

The crucial thing to understand about Peter Thiel is that he adores "The Lord of the Rings" and no one in human history has ever so utterly completely missed all the salient points of what a book is about.

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

I’ve had the good fortune to meet & talk with TIM CURRY — 80 Candles 🎂 today — a good few times over the years, and I can tell you that whatever you would’ve hoped him to be in real life, he truly is: charming, ribald, very funny, witty as f**k, larger than life, & just lovely.
