Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground is one of the best songs ever written. God bless Willie Nelson.

Really solid set. Love how these arrangements have evolved just this year alone.

Junior year angst is the best angst. This was mine, along with Bringing it All Back Home.

Sorry but I rate poetry not on inspirational wittiness but the degree to which it ravages me

All this talk of suits reminded me of this: “Clive never wore neckties under the conviction that all of the political mischief in the nation was created by men who wore neckties.”—Jim Harrison

Every day on the way home from
My office I pawn another
Of my Spring clothes. Every day
I come home from the river bank
Drunk. Everywhere I go, I owe
Money for wine.

Algorithms are the new carnival barkers touting a full commodification of art—books, film, tv, music. By design algorithms programatize mediocrity, banality, vacuity, genetically incapable of transcendence, revelation, silence. Prophets of poshlost. Overlords of unironic kitsch.

Charlie McCoy was one and from what I understand whomever they could wrangle up outside the studio. Kooper slapped the tambourine.

Hey @bobdylan I know you’re not Santa (tho you’ve donned his hat) but what I’d love for Xmas is a Dewayne Blackwell cover. Love your Basement and Outlaw takes of Mr. Blue. Ever considered doing “Friends in Low Places”? It makes me feel not so low. Blessings to you and yours.

My son's school play. Macbeth. In the old opera house from 1902. Paint chipping off the walls. Velveteen drapes. Wooden theater seats, older than airplanes. Reminds me of something straight out of Northern Exposure.

Many of my favorite artists were tragically flawed. Just like my country, and the religion I was born into. Just like every honest person I’ve ever met. As flawed as the clothes I wear, the food I eat. As flawed as those who cast judgements outward, but never ever inward.

No matter how tepid, tame, or true a critique of the publishing industry might be, you can always anticipate a tsunami of superciliousness among the aftershocks.
