I'm totally stoked, as well as being nervous as hell, to be included in this line-up. But having been many times, I know that it's a feel-good situation, start-to-finish.

I've really re-upped my (never-gone) appreciation for Todd recently. Re-reading @paulmyers00.bsky.social book on him, and pretty much listening to The Ballad Of Todd every morning for weeks. The craziness of Wizard, the Utopia years, The Healing... there's so much and he's still amazingly unique.

Thanks for spreading the word. I'm looking forward to hearing it myself. It's actually been a while!

This kills me, Annie. So sad. But it seems her spark is still there for you.

No matter how many times I hear this song (a couple thousand?) it stops me in my tracks and I just wonder, what did the world do to deserve something this incredibly weird and beautiful?

Happy 80th birthday to @neilyoungarchives.bsky.social !! I've recorded a couple new Neil-dedicated songs for the occasion.

I am so thankful for @tcmtv.bsky.social!! Today I'm especially moved by their not-so-subtle programming of anti-fascist WWII movies. Touché!

Right? And The Minus 5 did cover "Wicked Annabella" on a 45 in Spain many years ago...

It seems like Jason MUST be in The Minus 5 already, but perhaps not! Let's do something about that soon.

Rock n roll hijinks galore! If they could all be that great. Some might say that they are… but yes, top rank!

I still hate that my ‘mishap’ derailed that tour. Both bands were quite simply ON FIRE.

I'm told by those who've listened that this is a really good episode of a really good podcast. It might be too much of me to revisit myself. As Pee Wee Herman once said so poignantly: "I lived it."

Tonight we’ll sing songs of heartbreak and victory. Many about the sport. Others about death and rock n roll. All the usual stuff, smothered in Tabasco.
