📣 I know I push folks to chip in for Democratic candidates a lot, but I'm making a special plea for my friend @robyn-truth.bsky.social's kitten Gilbert. www.gofundme.com/f/support-gi...

Lots of good choices here.

Happy Planet Waves Day to all who celebrate. youtu.be/RoaouyaHpVg?...

Since it is now 7 days and counting for a “priority” mail to travel 3.5 miles from Evanston to Chicago I am soliciting new terms the U.S. Post Office can use for this “service.” Suggestions?

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

Otherwise known as...the Affordable Care Act.

NEW BOB DYLAN BOOKS IN 2026 2026 could be another bumper year for Bob Dylan books. I’m already looking forward to this trio of new titles, due in March and April: - Dylan, filmmaker - Dylan’s late career work, in many media - Teaching Bob Dylan - new pbk ed, priced for fans, not academia.

Happy Desire 50th Anniversary to all who celebrate. youtu.be/ujgqOgMIwfA?...

Exciting to see these two initiatives from NYC mayor’s office! I’m particularly excited about the opportunity presented by using city owned land… could offer the literal ground for thousands of new homes.

Mamdani is showing the next Democratic president what to do in 2029

Dylan’s final concert of the millennium, with Susan Tedeschi sitting in on a bunch of songs to Bob’s obvious delight “She even kissed Bob on the cheek at one point, which I thought was a little bold, but Bob was into it”

This will start your day off right.

Happy birthday to the great Patti Smith. I got to see her on her 70th birthday inspire us in Chicago in 2016. Here is her amazing performance of People Have the Power from that concert. m.youtube.com/watch?v=sYOu...

The year's best Bob tapes! Thanks to all the tapers, (re)masterers, and cover artists.

...and now the after party. #art #drawing #xmas

So lucky to live in a state (Illinois) that is working to protect public health.

The first soundboard tapes of the entire Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour have arrived!

Bob Dylan on Willie Nelson in the new New Yorker. The pull quote would be “he’s high.”

So great

I’m biased of course but a really thoughtful article by my brother about missed opportunities in understanding our history.

Orgs like Enlace in Little Village are back to warning residents not to go outside. Shelter in place when border patrol and Bovino are back in town & in the southwest side.

We are failing our kids

If like me you couldn’t be in Dublin for the last concert on the most recent European leg of RAWR this podcast with @henrybernstein.bsky.social @inthephishbowl.bsky.social and @whitecitycinema.bsky.social will make you feel you were.

"Ray Padgett is the only person I know who cares about any of this more than I do." 😂 Seriously, great piece, a must-read

A wonderful read on Dylan and the RAWR project from @stevenhyden.bsky.social with a side dose of observations from @raypadgett.bsky.social

A great read.

This is so good.

My fifth Rough and Rowdy concert set up in Waukegan Il. (Which makes me an amateur compared to most of my Dylan pals.)

I can’t believe that in this day and age, people are still wearing fir.
