"The Obvious Child" - I'm With Her (LIVE on The Late Show). Beautiful. Even on the worst days, at least there are still songs and performances like this in the world. youtu.be/O8XFUoPQu6Y?si… via @YouTube

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

Wow, I have no memory of that whatsoever but I’d love to see it.

It’s truly impossible to put into words how much Catherine O’Hara’s work has meant to me since childhood. Like countless others I know, I’m forever grateful to her for all the laughs and inspiration she gave to me with her seemingly effortless genius.

No, I never had the privilege of working with her but thank you so much for the very kind words.

The always brilliant Catherine O’Hara as the heartbreakingly hilarious teen Margaret Meehan in the classic SCTV sketch “High Q”. One of my biggest comedy heroes and, from everything I’ve heard, a wonderful person too. 💔youtu.be/MIVBgOhD-fs?si… via @YouTube

Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest American songwriter that no one remembers, Blaze Foley.

Give him two minutes and he might change your life.

Didn’t get to the Championship game yesterday in Miami unfortunately but I went to the first game of this season back in late August. Always so fun to get back there.

My friend and co-worker Carley told me she heard about Indiana’s National Championship on NPR and I laughed imagining Terry Gross interviewing Curt Cignetti. #iufb @crimsoncast.bsky.social

Nice to hear a little “Seether” from Chicago’s own Veruca Salt during the Bears game.

I saw the Vulgar Boatmen live only once back in Chicago after “You and Your Sister” came out but I’ll always love that album and that band. That Silos/ Vulgar Boatmen/Silos show is still the best TRIPLE bill I’ve ever seen.
