I dropped a pint on Tom Waits’ foot in the green room at the recording of an episode of The Tube, the contents of which fountained up over most of his body. He responded by recommending the ham sandwiches while licking the beer off his arms.

And to Pete Seeger: 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐫’s banjo said it all: “This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender.” 🎶 Music as protest. Music as peace.

Get him out. Prosecute. Burn Trumpism to the ground and salt the earth beneath it. All Democrats need to get with the program and learn what time it is. Reform is a minimum requirement. Revenge is better.

Time to hear Mario Savio again: "There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious...that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels and you’ve got to make it stop."

I can't overstate how much I appreciate musicians and organizations who work outside the ossified regions of the music industry to bring real music to real music lovers. Patronize these people wherever you are.
