A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
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.

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-

Desperados Under the Eaves (2008 Remaster)
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.

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.

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.

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...
