Thanks for stopping by! I've got a new lyric video out for my song "That's My Bird." (You Beatles fans will find some lovely little Easter eggs in there.) I'd love to hear from you about it!

“America” is not Trump. “Russia” is not Putin. Iran is not its mullahs, Gaza is not Hamas, and “the Jews” are most certainly not Bibi, Smotrich, Ben-Gvir. They’d all prefer us to confuse them with their constituents, but decency shouldn’t get suckered into their game.

Tweeting very sporadically since back in the 45 reign I was upset & alarmed at the attempted hijacking of US democracy by a sinister charlatan. The world’s still got big problems but I’m resolved to stay positive & play nice—music. Happy bday Sir Paul!

Since the word “apartheid” is daily invoked about Israeli policies, it’s worth pursuing the analogy. Mandela is a hero because he FORSWORE murder & won. (The Bolsheviks won with it, & that whole nation has borne that stain down to today.) We must ALL learn to outgrow murder.

History always honors defenders of democracy in the long run. So it will be with today’s Colorado Supreme Court. (In the short run, expect objections of “partisan politics.” Yes! Partisans of not destroying your own government.)

If any artist has a moral obligation to condemn an armed assault on civilians, it’s this guy— since he’s made such a public point of mixing his politics with his supremely influential art. Hello, Roger; is there anybody in there? You are only coming through in waves.

Every insurgency needs some base of popular support. The support of uneducated, religious, rural Afghans are why the outgunned Taliban wins (w/sexy violence and “Make us great again” reactionary anti-woman/LGBT appeal) —they are the Muslim equivalent of Trump supporters.

I keep thinking about the rare happy story of conflict resolution in my news-reading lifetime: South Africa 1990-94. Wrote a song about it, because I don’t want to try to find rhymes for “Gaza” and “Down with Bibi.”

That cop aimed her gun like a laser. Wait, not a gun: it was a Taser. Oops, no, wrong again: like the color of skin, distinctions like that didn’t faze ‘er.

Dear Prince estate: As you know, the vault in Paisley Park holds enough unreleased material to release “a new album every year for the next century.” We here on earth could use a new album right about now please.

For those keeping score: today, top 3 nations for new Covid cases are also the top 3 worst-led big societies: Brazil, India, and us. Response to pandemic set by 3 self-obsessed bigoted authoritarian personalities with 3 cults of personality supporting them. What are the odds?

South Africans celebrate 30 years of democracy today, achieved without war. Putin, Sinwar, Netanyahu— would you not prefer a legacy like Mandela’s? Rhetorical question, of course—you’re villains. But for your supporters there might still be hope.

“On Tyranny: 20 Lessons from the 20th Century” by Timothy Snyder, distinguished historian at Yale specializing in how the European democracies fell to fascism. Read it soon! All a dictator needs is 40% plus propaganda and fear. The fear part is what you feel when it’s too late.

My blood, for democracy, boils; and my patriotism recoils. If Orbán’s our friend, we are nearing the end— and to Viktor belong the spoils.

Our ever-more-dreadful Mini-Mussolini has found another deliberate outrage with the usual racial overtones. Taking away FEMA aid Puerto Rico will need and using the money for more migrant detention.

1. Pls tell me why not: Joe calls Bibi, global satellite public speakerphone: “Listen, you corrupt sociopath. Your gravy train is about to run out of track. You’re wrecking your country’s future by turning it into a pariah state, and my reelection prospects along with it…”

Ballad of Mr Vindman, Sr. There once was a man from Ukraine who chafed ‘neath the Soviet chain. So with young sons and wife, he began a new life where such things couldn’t happen againe

2 (Joe to Bibi): “Your military objectives won’t achieve real long-term security for your people. I’m losing my base by backing you. I’m not sacrificing US democracy for your self-serving agenda. Israel deserves better than you; invade Rafah & you lose my support.” Why not??

Epitaph On a Stone Cold Career That brain, that he hatched dirty Trixon, and that back, with its tattoo of Nixon, may now—he might well fear— end its storied career as an old ass inmates put their Dixon.

@DerveSwanson123 That’s well said & gracious of you. FYI a close friend toured with RW & it’s directly from him that I derive my judgment of Waters. Til then I revered him. Damning accounts from this trustworthy sideman guy (& great musician) which I’m absolutely certain are true.

History buffs will take notice at the phrase “...leading to the dismissal of the Secretary of the Navy.” So long as our military’s standards of moral honor are upheld by the high command, the worst-case autocracy can be prevented. If 45 replaces Spencer with a Wilhelm Keitel...

@A_Life_A_Live You may have misunderstood my anti-Waters tweet. IMO his stridency against Israel is the hypocrisy here, a subject for another exchange. With decent people everywhere I condemn violence against civilians, full stop.
