“He's acting shy, looking for an answer Come on, honey, let's spend the night together Now hold on a minute before we go much further Give me a dime so I can phone my mother.” #AT40

"omg they're splitting up families we've never seen this Nazi shit before" Stares in Black American..........

Casey threw me off with that MJ song. Given that it’s 1979, I thought he would play “Rock With You.” #AT40

Bobby Caldwell’s “What You Won’t Do For Love” is a JAM!!! #AT40

Is there any time, place, or context in which a government hanging enormous banners of the Leader’s face was not a sign of a diseased and authoritarian society? Because I certainly can’t think of one.

“Go All The Way” is probably one of my favorite songs of all time. #AT40

If Sir Patrick Stewart ever joins Cameo, I’m going to request one of him dramatically reading “Late Lament” from “Nights in White Satin” and post it here. #AT40

Don’t know if there exists footage of Ricky Nelson’s set at Madison Square Garden that this song was based on but if it did I’d really want to see it. #AT40

Everybody's misused him Ripped him up and abused him Another junkie plan Pushin' dope for the man A terrible blow but that's how it goes A freddies on the corner now If you wanna be a junkie, wow Remember freddies dead. #AT40

The older I get, the more I appreciate “City of New Orleans.” Fantastic song with such vivid imagery. #AT40

WPIX shoutout, @mavisr.bsky.social #AT40

I'll still stand up for Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman." Loved it then, love it now... but still so disheartened that so many of the battles still need to be fought (or fought again.) Fall '72 on #AT40

Jesse Jackson, whose impassioned oratory and vision of a “rainbow coalition” of the poor and forgotten made him the nation's most influential Black figure in the years between the civil rights crusades of Martin Luther King Jr. and the election of Barack Obama, died on Tuesday at 84. Follow live.

There’s no President Barack Obama without Jesse Jackson. It just doesn’t happen.

open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... “Everyday People” is a protest song wrapped in joy. The sunny pop song admonishes without anger, suggesting we celebrate our differences. It is a message many people need to hear right now.

A former Democratic colleague of hers once told me that Susan Collins is “usually there when you don’t need her and never there when you actually do.” The moderate brand she projects is entirely performative. It’s always surprised me that Maine voters don’t seem to care.

Many people in South Africa, where Elon is from, died to create a genuinely multiracial polity. They were killed by people who thought like Elon. The people who thought like Elon also lost. Seems their “common culture” of white supremacy wasn’t enough. bsky.app/profile/alan...

Perhaps because they were released the same year I thought later in life that “Me and Mrs. Jones” was from the movie “The Devil in Miss Jones.” Maybe that’s why for me the song was taboo beyond its theme of infidelity. 🤷🏾‍♂️ #AT40

I remember hearing “Love Train” piped into the speakers while waiting to see “Sounder” at the Apollo Theater at the time. #AT40

Hard to understand but a hell of a man. #AT40

This song does indeed give me a peaceful easy feeling. #AT40

“At Seventeen” just sums up adolescence so well. #AT40

The late Selena cited Freddy Fender as an influence- a Latin artist who was able to crossover into the pop charts. #AT40

The harmonies on “Miracles” are darn near… miraculous. #AT40

According to a Barney Hoskins book I read about The Eagles, their reputation among women in Laurel Canyon were that they were the “Lyin’ Guys.” #AT40

That was incredible!!!!!!!

That entire Halftime special was a celebration of community, love, music, diversity and Puerto Rico and very deliberate middle finger to colonization and white supremacy.

A dear friend just sent this to me. A documentary on Billy Preston. I’m looking forward to checking it out. #AT40

Jag älskar ABBA! #AT40

The destruction of the Washington Post is intentional at this point.

Don’t Leave Me This Way is on the short list of best Disco songs ever. And that counts the opinions of #AT40 fans and rabid Disco fanatics. It is just a perfect record.

Didn’t Lindsay Buckingham write “Go Your Own Way” about his break up with Stevie Nicks? #AT40

Excellent Kansas song. #AT40

It really says something about our national descent that the President of the United States and the most damaged, onanistic submoron in the country are now, somehow, the same exact person.

Rod Perry as Deacon on “SWAT” was always appointment television in my house. #AT40

Arresting journalists. Seizing ballots. Murdering protesters. Detaining children. It’s time to decide what your red line is.

I really try to keep an even keel, and self-regulate because it’s the only way to be in this for the long haul, but sometimes the fury overtakes you for a bit.

Honestly, I long for the day again when I can wake in the morning and not have to brace myself from some new horror committed by a man and his regime who are feeding themselves on the ruins of public liberty.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

Graham objected to unanimous consent. And he blocked the business of the Senate. Any Senate Democrat could do this.

Heartbreaking to hear Bobby Kennedy's voice - especially given what his son has become. "What The World Needs Now Is Love" Aug. '71 on #AT40

This Tom Clay doing hits very close to home tonight. #AT40

How incredibly before its time was this Marvin Gaye song. Singing about the environment. #AT40

Liar! Liar!! #AT40

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

#AT40 this song “Streets of Minneapolis” dropped today by Bruce Springsteen meets the moment. It will not be soon forgotten. This moved me to my core.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.
