Death watch 2025. America could really use a Jet 2 Holiday right about now.

I still think caring about other people who aren’t like me is cool.

Ice is the first federal law enforcement agency to lose a food fight. Some heroes throw sandwiches.

What was the first album or song you ever bought, and in what format?

I’ll go firstβ€”mine was Run-DMC’s King of Rock on vinyl. My brother had to make me a tape because I didn’t even own a turntable yet.

People bitchin’ about California, just remember who’s paying your tab. We pay 83 billion more to the federal gov than we get back. You’re welcome.

A steady diet of fear and hatred are just junk food for the soul.

Frankly, PBS is about the only thing worth watching on broadcast tv these days. What a shame that we’re pissing away this country’s crown jewels on paranoia & settling scores. When the smoke clears, no one will be better off for it.

Music matters, folks. Look at all the love people have from all walks of life for a weirdo like Ozzy. And I mean β€œweirdo” with the utmost reverance. The dude created a genre of catchy tunes that withstood 6 decades.

The β€˜greed is good’ gang are in a firing squad death spiral. The future belongs to those who have integrity and care deeply about the world and each other. Team work is how we got here and it’s the only way out.

The only creative advice I have is this: stay curious, have fun, and pursue your vision with dogged determination. No one gets anywhere by doubting themselves or giving upβ€”and you definitely won’t get far by listening to what everyone else thinks you should do.

I try to temper my outrage at this temporary regime with being helpful and sharing the things that bring me joy. We’re all just doing the best we canβ€”some of us more than others, right?

It usually takes longer to bitch about something than it does to fix it. That goes for audio stuff as well as life stuff. Just fix your sheeet, yo.

Talk to your brown friends and ask them how they feel about what’s going on in America right now. Conservatives and liberals. It isn’t good. Time to wake up, folks.

I may look like I just signed for a package from Amazon but I got a Grammy in the mail today. Huge thanks to Lucky Diaz & the Family Jam Band for letting me be part of Brillo Brillo! & to the NARAS members who voted.

Honored to have mastered this joyful album.

Lots of armchair quarterbacking and handwringing on the left about the β€œbest” candidate. To me, it’s whoever speaks to their constituents’ real needs. Period. The hypocrisy, posturing, and performative nonsenseβ€”no matter the sideβ€”isn’t it.

Still looks like a Home Depot fever dream, but trust meβ€”this will be a state-of-the-art mastering studio where your mixes go to evolve, transcend, and get loud the right way. Skylights included for spiritual clarity and extra headroom. 🌀️

Btw, I’m not saying β€˜stay in your lane.’ Whether you need to grieve, rage, or simply createβ€”self-expression is resistance. It’s both human and divine. Don’t let anyone steal your voice or your joy.

I saw some BS about how folks need to stop posting about their art, music, shows because 'end of the world" & 'read the room.’ No. Now is exactly the time for more humanity, not less. Don't lose your soul, yo.

They were worried about the last No Kings protests. Wait until they see the next one. George Soros is gonna go broke ;)

Liberty and justice for all is more than a slogan. Americans know what’s right β€” we just need to stand up and be counted. This regime is cruel, lawless, and inevitably will be held accountable.

The regime ordered up 2000 CA national guard and a whopping 300 showed up. Somebody forgot that our national guard are also our friends and neighbors. Giving a shit about each other is our strength. Well done. This is the resistance.

I love you LA. Stay calm, stay vigilant and stay safe; nonviolent resistance. Let the bootboys over-reach and expose them for what they are; fascists. Time & the law will not be kind to them.
