This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

I made this way before the “Hands Off” last year. Courage does not come easy; that’s why it is honored. Time for people to step up and:

Peace.

I’m sure I am not the only one who has trouble sleeping, these days. open.substack.com/pub/bandyxle...

The Center and Alaska Native Tribes just sued the Trump administration for trading away public lands to allow a destructive road through Izembek National Wildlife Refuge. The road would slice through crucial migratory bird habitat and wreak havoc on many Arctic species.

Look I know Hillary and Epstein and Boebart are trending on here- if I land on ur feeds/ pls take a sec to just repost me so my life can be spared ! Thanks 🙏

The first sign I made, after Trump re-took the White House; the second time I took it out (April 5, 2025). Still relevant.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Like I said…

Bruce Springsteen just released a new song about the streets of Minneapolis.

My newest hand-painted poster; my friend, Heather, had the concept; I made it reality. In gouache.

She was absolutely right. And she would have been an amazing President.

And then he took slave Leia to the island...

SO much winning!

there is no coming back from this without prosecutions up and down the entire chain of command

Hubby & I in Newport, KY (across the river from Cincinnati) for the “NO ICE” demonstration. We hiked around the block containing the Campbell County Detention Center, parked ourselves & drummed as the marchers circled the block. 27 degrees, wind, & snow flurries did not deter hundreds!

Poetry is often fueled by heartache, anger and all the painful emotions of humanity. Mine is not romantic. It's anger and sadness. Swirled into poetic lines that still can't express the feelings I wish no words ever had to try to describe.

No notes…

#xpncountdown I can’t believe that Patsy Cline’s version of Willie Nelson’s “Crazy”, wasn’t on the list! Mindblowing.

I had Elvis doing “P,L & U” @ #4. #xpncountdown.

I was certain that Bruce’s cover of “Jersey Girl” would be in the top 10. Oh, well. #xpncountdown

#xpncountdown One can never have too much Tom Waits.

#xpncountdown At Last! Some Etta James! Her first appearance (& probably her most famous song) Sure expected this to be closer to the top.

#XPNcountdown I think I have heard “I Feel for You” at least once a week, ever since it was released. I love it everytime, though I only recently learned it was a Prince cover (so obvious in hindsight).

#xpncountdown Fully expected “The Thrill is gone” to be closer to the top. I almost submitted B.B.’s collaboration with Tracy Chapman (of the same song) as one of my top ten.

I honestly thought this was Neil’s original! #Xpncountdown

#xpncountdown Technically, this was one of my picks, though I specified the live version from “Out there Somewhere “. Close enough.

#Xpncountdown Was the Beatles cover of “Rock n Roll Music” the first appearance of Chuck Berry? Reminded me of another great Chuck Berry cover, “Can’t catch Me”, covered by Stephen Stills (live).

Uh, anyone know what to do when 60% of your Mac hard drive is "system data"?

One of my favorite Springsteen songs; never heard the Mavericks version! Fabulous!

#xpncountdown I really thought this would be toward the top. (It was on my list). Happy Birthday, Southside Johnny!

For the next week, most of my posts are going to be about the #xpncountdown. If that’s not your thing, feel free to mute the hashtag. If you like music, though, I highly recommend tuning in. It’s an amazing week of great music and music community.
