Arrived home late last night and I am running on fumes at the moment but wanted to say this: - there was something truly magical about this Homecoming. I feel like I got the chance to immerse myself and get to know a bunch of y'all - a hearty shout out for all those you took the time to make my kid...

Ha! I was like "NOW I've fucked this shit up, man!" Glad the 40 Watt folks were easy going about it all...and I'll practice for next year. (Or do yer own damn bracelet! )

It's a total cliche to start anything meaningful with "where to start", but given the events, feelings, experiences of the last 7 days, it's really "where the hell to start?" So, I'll start where I started: at my first DBT gig, only two short (?) years ago, Cooley Girl and Uncle Rickey pulled me to ...

Last night was “low stakes”, super relaxed, pure fun from jump. Jay’s song selection—Nilsson, Raspberries, Joe Jackson, so much more, with a big medley including “destruction” of the music stand, a la Pete Townshend (Not really)—was designed to make sing-alongs happen, which they did. Jay’s spirit, ...

In for SOPAC (4/17) and Tarrytown (4/20, ahem). Bringing a friend to SOPAC for his first DBT-related show. I WILL create a monster.

Having just begun (re-started) an exercise regimen, I started freaking out a bit about not having my gym to go to while in Athens. I reached out to the Athens YMCA, and the membership director said it was OK to share this: "we do have options to utilize the Y while you are here. If you are a member...

Well this year I'm finally going to do it. I bought tickets, I reserved rooms at the days inn (my preferred hotel when I'm Working) for the 11-16. Is there anything I need to know going in? I got the book today and have been reading it since I got home from the Cooley show. I am beyond excited I've...

Congratulations to the editorial team, the band and its team, Nuci's Space, all the fans who contributed to the book and who regularly contribute to who and what we are and most of all to ramonz , w/out whom this project never would have happened and w/out whom it never would have been nearly as su...

Accurate. It was so good to hear it in a room of people really listening.

Great set list. 2 hours?

VERY much looking forward to Jersey City and NYC.

(Thank you for posting).

I guess I would rather put the money and resources into states that have recently gone blue, but are trending red (like Ohio) rather than into steep uphill climbs like the Deep South. I don’t need every state to go blue, so if I’m picking my battles, I want to pick ones I can win I think that's an ...

That would absolutely be the wrong approach. This was an incremental victory. Infrastructure was built. Yes, there are entrenched politically realities in Mississippi, and other deeply red states (not just in the south), but...even in the biggest blow out, in the reddest state, at least 40% of peop...

[Wild cheering. Camera pans to people jumping up and down, basically losing their minds with happiness].

Looking forward to picking up our conversations from last year!

Got online at my Mom's place in Florida (Visiting for her birthday. Stress texting madly with Uncle Rickey). Got the 4-day pass. Thrilled to death. (Or just short of it).
