Noisy walk home Drawn around 2021

Finished the Mike Campbell memoir. I dug it. I don’t care for the post- Stan lynch era heartbreakers and this book didn’t really change that. It did provide a picture of the band that didn’t seem to be sanitized by the petty estate, which was surprising.

85 year old herbie hancock jogged onstage, did a three hour set with monologues about robots, spent the last 20 minutes pogoing with a keytar, then jogged offstage

Looking for some advice about dealing with a publisher that’s become unreachable mid-pitch. If you’ve been in a similar situation and managed to resolve it, I’d appreciate some input. DM or email if you can.

Distraction from the chemical cloud outside

I think my updates are done for tonight from the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville that has killed at least 3 and likely more. Here's our current story, which is likely to change by the morning once more official information comes out.

Story from Mike Campbell’s autobiography about Stan Lynch and Bob Dylan blowing off band practice to go see Sammy Davis Jr and Sinatra. Tom Petty comes off as a jerk in this book, especially to Stan, so it’s funny to see him get told off by Bob Dylan

I'm safe for now but there's a giant black cloud over my neighborhood and I'm sure that will be a problem soon

Went to a community input meeting for new data center zoning Everyone hates data centers, it’s pretty great

Just so we're clear: This administration's blatant, unapologetic choice to deny food to 42 million people—to have the money sitting there and say, "No, we'll let them go hungry"—is simply a more overt display of why homelessness and poverty keep worsening in this country. Because it's *decided.*
