These songs, and this music, matter. So do the young musicians that have dedicated their lives to playing it. Their uncompromising honesty, purity, and outright mastery, will move you to tears. #singing #jazz
Can't listen to high-schooly-sounding Maren Morris or contemporary Nashville in general. But when she walks into a room, I'd stand up out of respect. She's a boss, you can look up why. #marenmorris #integrity
Songwriting 101, class begins now #peterholsapple
If a slug-like, larval alien without any concept of ethical principles took on human form, it would look and sound like speaker Mike Johnson.
Biden didn't threaten the press with execution, or pulling their broadcast license, and he didn't take over CBS, knock talk shows off the air, and extort networks for millions. They're scared.
In the 60's, when the Republican Party was really getting its racist wings with the "Southern Strategy", they used the phrase "soft on crime" to smear the Democrats. Now he's using it to smear the pope like someone running against him in an election.
He's weak. Like Biden. A strong leader would go into Hungary, capture and imprison the radical left cheater, and reinstall Orban, who won - BY A LOT!!!
Red Garland was a ferocious master total music boss-man, and all without breaking a sweat. Damn. With Coltrane. #redgarland
Vance invented himself top to bottom, he picked catholic. Trump's people are reactionary anti-progress catholics (SC justices Alito, Barrett, Kavanaugh, Roberts, Thomas, also Steve Bannon, Rubio, etc.) They're angry they replaced a pope they hated (Francis) with Leo.
This christofascist evangelical white-power thing is driving the bus right now. Look up "Hegseth threatens Catholic Church".
Voters in MTG’s Georgia district just punished her by electing a MAGA to her old seat. Our country is far sicker than we can imagine.
Here’s an independent music platform. A lot of cool young bands. Please follow them! #spotifysucks

These evangelicals love a man who publicly struggles with what they think is the devil sending women to tempt them. It's an extra reason they considered Obama the "AntiChrist".
Do Grandpa and Grandma Fox News from Florida have any way of knowing about his "you crazy bastards" tweet, or would they say "I haven't heard anything about that"?
The head-hanging shame written on Liddle Marco’s face and demeanor is startling and creepy. He’s not fooling anybody.
2 things:
Nominee for saddest instrumental song of all time, Coltrane's "Lonnie's Lament".
And, if you stream "all tracks" by David Bromberg, you'll be glad you did. #music
Infusion of Soul today. It will help. #soul
Italian Americans worked really hard to become officially white people, and now they have a crass, lying criminal capo to be their forever guy. In NYC where he's hated, he won Staten Island with 54.6%. Why? Italians. From 2020 but applies.
On one day in 1969, Laura Nyro could see 3 of her own tunes in the Billboard top 10. All 3 covers by other artists. No one will break that record! #sixties #musicsky
In reaction to this coming out, her spokesperson asked for “privacy and prayers“. It’s surreal.
He’s a disgrace, a stain, an insult to all who served with bravery and honor.
The hilarious thing is that instead of saying it’s nobody’s business if he likes giant boobs and bimbo sites, she says “the family asks for privacy and prayers” as if he died. #byronnoem
There's a code in the military, but imagine if his former commanding officers were allowed to speak freely...what a shameful, treasonous stain this guy is on all that served.
Nashville's Jobi Riccio has a new album of originals releasing May 15. In case you're wondering, watch this, and be ready for full-force magic hitting you square in the face. #music
Remember when they asked white people back in 2015 how they could support him, and they said "He says what I'm thinking"? Here's I guy who says exactly what I'm thinking (but coherently). #johnpavlovitz
He's defeated our mainstream press. Today's CNN page, "What They Wore", buried 30 stories down. Even NPR, 7 stories down. You barely know it happened.
The opening of this is always like onions in my eyes, never prepared for it, but I guarantee you'll feel more centered by the end, and ready to signify tomorrow morning. #alicecoltrane #soul
Ella Fitzgerald US Postage Stamp
I mean, if you get your face on a stamp, and your nickname is "First Lady of Song" - not 3rd, or 2nd - FIRST freaking lady of SONG - then there's Billie Holiday, Gladys Knight, Aretha, and all the rest. People are losing the overview.
How does that track - selling weapons = Republican $, so the rich people financing MAGA must have some kind of endgame?
