YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

If only our Congress had an ounce of the moral backbone that our artists have-

Philip Glass pulls world premiere from Kennedy Center The pioneering composer announced that “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message” of his Symphony No. 15: “Lincoln.”

Breaking news: Composer Philip Glass withdrew his highly anticipated Symphony No. 15 from its scheduled Kennedy Center performance, saying “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.”

This resonates right about now:

We have been so fortunate to have Sly & Robbie play on a few of our label's albums. Sadly, as of today, they are now both gone. RIP-

Sitting here, reading the soul-destroying news of the day, listening to this in the background. David Torn is my favorite guitarist and someone I am proud to call a friend. To my ears, this piece somehow captures the moment we are living through, in a way that greatly moved me-

YouTube video by Warren Zevon - Topic Desperados Under the Eaves (2008 Remaster)

Today has been shit for a million reasons, but I can't forget that it's also Warren Zevon's birthday. His music means a lot of me and his influence is all over Sandman Slim's LA. Speaking of which, I think this song sums up the city better than any other.

One of my favorites (of many) from this giant of a musician.
RIP-

Hearing from reliable sources that guitarist Ralph Towner has passed away.

Such a giant of his instrument, with such an incredible body of work- and a huge influence on me.

More terrible news, in what has already been a truly awful year.

Amen!

For obvious reasons, I feel compelled to post this quote at the beginning of every year.

Oh Sh*t-
RIP

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen.

Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.

Good morning

When I was 14 years old, I was going on & on to my older brother about how Steve Howe was the greatest guitarist in the world (yes, I was a "prog kid"). My bro just smiled, handed me his copy of Inner Mounting Flame & said: "Oh yeah- check THIS out". Mission accomplished. Mind Blown...
