Discovering this album—and seeing @livingcolour.com live—was a seismic event in my journey as a musician, guitarist, and fan of music. #Vivid is one of my favorite #noskips albums. S/O to @vurnt22.bsky.social @willcalhoun.bsky.social @coreyglover.bsky.social @dougwimbish.bsky.social #MuzzSkillings

If you love music and you’re traveling through Chicago, you owe it to yourself to visit Buddy Guy’s Legends. The live music is great, delicious food, historic guitars on the walls. You might even get to meet Mr. Guy. I’ve been lucky enough to chat w/him 4x since I was 19. #buddyguy #blues #sinners

Grilling mid-November in 60° in Chicago? I’ll take it. #fall #chicago #grilling

@thejeffgarlin.bsky.social Hi Jeff! I met you briefly at the Cubs game on September 6. I just saw that you are performing a reading of Outcasts at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York this month. So cool! My daughter is a sophomore at NYU and is an aspiring actor in the Strasberg studio.

Loyola University Chicago is greatly saddened to confirm the death of Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, BVM. This is a tremendous loss of someone who touched the lives of so many people. We appreciate everyone’s thoughts & prayers during this difficult time. For more information: https://bit.ly/4o7eIUk

Awesome to see that @livingcolour.com will be a musical guest! #livingcolour #jimmykimmel www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/25/j...

40 years ago, musicians faced off against a Washington committee over whether to warn parents about explicit lyrics.

Fun day at Wrigley Field this weekend. Lucky to meet both Cubs legend, Derrek Lee, and actor, writer, comedian, Jeff Garlin, while at the ballpark. @thejeffgarlin.bsky.social @cubsbot.bsky.social #DerrekLee #JeffGarlin #Cubs

Living Colour @livingcolour.com needs to be in the RRHOF! #livingcolour #RRHOF @vurnt22.bsky.social @willcalhoun.bsky.social @coreyglover.bsky.social @dougwimbish.bsky.social @rockhall.bsky.social

Ryne Sandberg. Legend. #cubs #ryno #23

God bless Joe and @obviousshirts.bsky.social.

Amazing show by @alabamashakes.com last night as they kicked off their reunion tour at @saltshedchicago.bsky.social. So fun to share w/ my daughter who sings and is learning guitar. Brittany is an inspiration. And, Lee Fields and his band were a killer opener. #alabamashakes #chicago #chicagosummer

Absolute truth. One of the fun bonuses of co-writing Silent Hill Homecoming was getting to write all sorts of fun environmental bits like adding in the name of my high school band with @drescigno.bsky.social into a flyer posted on a wall!

NEW MUSIC: Don’t miss “The Haunting,” a new single by guitarist, Vernon Reid, of Living Colour fame. #newmusic #guitar #livingcolour @vurnt22.bsky.social @livingcolour.com youtu.be/VTwJl-6d5Ow?...

I've done this

Way to go, Pat! #TUDUM #netflix

Nice to see this from @npr.org. Shoutout to my guys, @livingcolour.com, for getting the much-deserved feature and recognition. Read more here: www.npr.org/2025/05/30/g... @coreyglover.bsky.social @dougwimbish.bsky.social @willcalhoun.bsky.social @vurnt22.bsky.social #npr #nprmusic #livingcolour

Disappointed to share that this show is being rescheduled due to an illness and travel situation.

UPCOMING GIG: Excited and honored to be asked to fill in on guitar for The Island Of Misfit Toys band at this event. Looking forward to playing with them and Jess on May 31st. www.schoolofrock.com/locations/oa...

Watching Star Wars: A New Hope in honor of #Maythe4th. This was a seismic event for me as a 7-yr old. A little rebellion once in a while can be a good thing – especially now. We could use one. #starwars #therebellion #maythe4thbewithyou

Love to see it !!!

Music is the universal language that connects hearts and souls, transcending barriers and bringing people together in harmony.

Fun: Some people know that in addition to my 25+ yr career in #edtech, I've continued to be an avid #musician. A friend and former band member has asked me to fill in for his band's #guitarist for a gig in May. Haven't been on a stage in 21 yrs but I said, yes. It's going to be fun. More info soon.

On this day in 1986, Prince hits #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Kiss." The #2 song is "Manic Monday" by The Bangles, which he also wrote.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

Another year, another #RRHOF nominees list that has at least one glaring omission. Taking nothing away from the nominees, @livingcolour.com should be on the list. They’re one of the most significant and influential American bands since their first album release in 1988. #rockhalloffame #livingcolour

Music. All kinds. Any place. Anytime. Anywhere.

Spotted on #Chicago streets. Love it. #sorrynotsorry

This whole snow-two-inches-every-day thing is for the birds. Just dump a foot on us all at once so we can clear it and move on!

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946)🎄 premiered 78yrs ago today at the Globe Theater in New York City

Love #SOAD, not blaming them, but ticket prices are insane. - Smashing Pumpkins final show in ‘00, $30 front row - Prince & The Revolution Purple Rain Tour ‘84, $12.50 good seats - MUSE in 2013, $40 great seats See your favorite bands before they’re too big and Ticketmaster makes them unaffordable.

Fantastic article about a music legend who deserves more attention for his contributions. Also, great to see @vurnt22.bsky.social get the shoutout he deserves for shining a spotlight on Ernie. #guitar #ernieisley #theisleybrothers #thebeatles #vernonreid #livingcolour #jimihendrix
