43 YEARS AGO, Madonna released her debut single, "Everybody." It's bittersweet to reflect on this image in 2025: The panorama of kids of color playing on the streets of NYC. Balloons reflecting a rainbow of diversity. A cop walking in harmony, upholding his duty "To Protect and to Serve."

The story behind THE BEAT's logo was explained by author Lu Hersey: "Comics artist Hunt Emerson found her pictured alongside Prince Buster. She turned out to be Brigitte Bond, a ska singer, actress & trans woman. No one in the band knew she was trans, but somehow that makes her even more perfect.'

Saddened to learn of the passing of a great guy and a true rock 'n' roll original, #ClemBurke. I was fortunate to see Clem perform with #Blondie and #Eurythmics, among others. Here's a photo of us at SXSW in 2008.

I was feasting on Dave Allen's (R.I.P.) basslines in 1983. I discovered #GangOfFour and #Shriekback at the same time and was drawn to their wit, passion & rhythms. I loved the whole musical package but it was "My Spine (Is the Bassline)" that made my backbone slip.

A memorable dancefloor favorite at the coolest clubs in Texas during the period.

Strong first episode of 'Daredevil: Born Again' on Disney+ tonight. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio are leaving it all on the floor. The storyline captures current events in a queasily prescient fashion.
Music by Nick Cave and TV on the Radio.

My heart is heavy as 'The Reidout' signs off after 5 years. MSNBC made a mistake. You are a righteous culture warrior and I eagerly await your future moves. The world needs #JOYREID now more than ever!

As a Virgo, I love to be organized. Part of that is making lists. Today I present a selection of music concert highlights (and low lights).

A decade ago, a French writer asked for an interview about my memories of #TheStrokes. I witnessed early shows by the band at Mercury Lounge, Bowery Ballroom, and at Randall's Island w/ #NYDolls. Apparently, the book was published in December.

A memory of my first Marianne Faithfull concert. The Sunset Strip, Hollywood, 1990.
R.I.P. - #MarianneFaithfull (1946-2025).
![Marianne Faithfull - Broken English. 1979 [Long Version] (Extended Music Video([Dir by Derek Jarman]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mnujsjoat36uy4cv3jgua47d/bafkreigbctclnxjj6fnvlhvegjrv6vsvxmeb3bsaoejuzugis6pkvl5w7u@jpeg)
Never more relevant than today, #MarianneFaithfull and #DerekJarman warn us about fascism. From 1979.

I had such a great time working with #PearlGates that we're doing it again. #LiberationHall will be reissuing the 1980 debut album from PEARL HARBOR & THE EXPLOSIONS. If you would like review materials, or to interview Pearl, message me.
