All of it says: Fear me!

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

Tee hee!

Well, this was fun! Spontaneously, seeing North by Northwest on the big screen, for the first time, at Cinematheque.

Singer Jimmy Scott would have been 100 today. I recorded this very personal homage to Jimmy with the wonderful pianist, Alex Minasian, who accompanied Jimmy the last 7 years of his life.The song was inspired by a vivid memory of Jimmy singing for me at Savoy Records when I was 10-years.

Let them not eat cake!

Let them not eat cake!

A girlish woman was sipping a multi-shades-of-green smoothie that cost $22.
"$22 for a smoothie?" I said. "What's in it?"
"I don't know," she said.

Ossoff: There is no constituency for this. There is no voting bloc in Georgia that's crying out for more expensive health care…

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did?

It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

John Leguizamo: "We feed this country, we serve this country, we build this country, and then we get treated this way."

Too many people don't understand that it is illegal to deny anybody due process. I just blocked someone on Twitter who posted: "If he's here legally he's got no problem." (Well, we know that's not true.) "If he isn't than he shouldn't be here."

I wrote for "Almost Grown", a great short-lived show that David Chase created. Michael Madsen had a part in one of the episodes. Man, oh man, did he make the most of it!

How' bout we rename ice cream and call it nice cream. As in: "I'll have a coffee nice-cream cone, please."

Can we please re-name ice cream and call it nice cream?

Lawrence O'Donnell spoke from his compassionate heart and learned mind this evening. We are fortunate that he can still report the truth.

In the bank, a woman with too much cheer, in her voice. for the occasion wished the Hispanic teller "Happy 4th!" Oblivious.

A full sheet of 20 US Postal Service ‘forever’ stamps celebrating Black Heritage. The text on the sheet reads, ‘48th in a Series / Black Heritage / Celebrating Allen Toussaint.’ The stamps themselves feature a smiling, full color portrait of Allen Toussaint.

I had to send a package from USPS yesterday. The Post Office scene in Harlem was more chill than usual, but what made me unreasonably happy was seeing & purchasing this sheet of Allen Toussaint stamps. Beautiful! Now I just want to send a bunch of cards & letters out.

I'm a singer, songwriter, screenwriter and author. This is more than unsettling news for writers. No one overseeing the U.S. Copyright off is like leaving open all the doors and windows for A.I. burglars.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court.

This is not deportation.

This is ethnic cleansing.

"Considering?"

Pretty shocked when my therapist told me the number of Likes you get on social media is actually the only true measure of one’s value as a person

Ditto to all the above!

Impeach members of the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court must be impeached.

Typo: Absolute most.

So much fear, anger and injustice in this world now. Every day brings a new threat to our well-being. Our minds need to take a vacation. I hope my novel, The Lyric Hotel, transports you to a place of longing, music and hope.

Impeachment of judges?
