You don't get a tribute show just because you're great on stage. You get one because you're just as great off stage.
That show was a gift. Sending love to the

I never thought I'd be crying while Hot For Teacher is playing, but here we are. Amazing. Justin Hawkins, Wolfgang Van Halen, Josh Freese, Dave Grohl.

My sweet girl V passed away on Saturday at the age of 14. Since the day I adopted her 13 years ago (when this selfie was taken) to her very last breath, she has given me more than I could ever give her in return. 💔
#AdoptDontShop
This bed is too big without you, V. 💔 RIPV
I first met Taylor at a friend's party in 97. He was new to the Foos at that point. Over the years he proved to be one of the nicest humans you'd ever run into. I took this pic from my last hang at FF studio last Feb. The 666 movie was just about to come out. 🖤

Hi everyone, V is in the hospital. Two masses were found. One in her intestines and one in her spleen. She was totally fine up until Tuesday and went downhill fast.
Test are being done today to see what we're dealing with. We could use your good thoughts. She's my everything.
Join me in a couple of hours

Spaces. Let's get together and share our favorite Taylor Hawkins stories as we prepare to pay tribute this weekend with

UPDATE: V is home resting w/Bleu by her side. Tests show cancer in her intestines. I’ve opted for surgery tomorrow to investigate further. I’ve seen your messages. Thank you. V has been healthy otherwise. I’m hoping for more time, but only if her quality of life is good. ❤️
My heart is so sad right now. Bean

and Donna have lost their baby Linus.
This is a picture from our very first meeting in Seattle in 2009. Linus was such a bouncy little potato full of drama, it was love at first snort. Rest in peace you cutie. 💔💔💔
My neighborhood is destroyed. Everyone is talking about the looting.
Protesters’ message is lost in the damage.
To be clear, there were two parties yesterday. Protesters and those who came to loot and destroy. Don’t confuse the two.
Decided to get back shape.
Went power walking on the beach.
Ate shit on the rocks.
Emergency room.
Bloody and swollen, but nothing broken.
Back on the couch.
The end.
Going on air soon
@kroq
. My job is to be upbeat on-air, but with what's going on right now that's not where my heart is. KROQ is a music station, not talk or news. I'll play music and do my thing, but my thoughts are with the folks dealing with the incredible bullshit of racism.
I love these people, forever and ever. My family. ❤️ Congratulations to

The letter "E" key fell off my macbook.
Mac store guys told me it would cost me $300-400 dollars to fix because of the way Macbook Air is built.
Went home, ordered an "E" key online for $10 and fixed it myself in one minute.
This morning found out another friend has Covid. Missing my dog Bleu. Don't want to do much more than watch true crime in bed, but I managed to write over 3,000 words this morning. Doesn't matter if it's crap. It's something.
Just do it.
Good news! V made it through like a champ! Our doctor explained that the tumor was on her appendix which made it the best case possible for removal. He was pleasantly surprised. She's staying in hospital for a few days to guard against infection 1/2
While lots of people are dropping their senior animals off at shelters as the do every year around this time because people are awful, why not adopt or foster a “vintage” cutie instead of going for a puppy.
I’ve adopted 2 seniors. They adapted quickly & are hilarious.
They found a bottle in the back yard with a message inside.
“Henry Joe, you are already the best bro, and my very best friend, so will you please say yes and...”
I’m here for all of this.🌎❤️
Creeping around the halls of SNL and I run into one of the best drummers in the world. Josh Freese is making his return to Saturday Night Live

Since Butthole Surfers are trending let me remind you of this gem. Gibby Haynes of BHS did a collab with Ministry and always got me in the ding a ding dang my dang along ling long.
KTLA 5 is profoundly saddened to report the death of Sam Rubin. Sam was a giant in the local news industry and the entertainment world, and a fixture of Los Angeles morning television for decades. His laugh, charm and caring personality touched all who knew him. Sam was a loving
Fuck every single one of you who support this. Fuck the not so supreme court. Fuck your guns that now have more rights than women. Fuck every fake christian hiding behind this bullshit. Fuck every guy who didn't fight for us and

fuck every woman who supports this nightmare.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion in a decision that will lead to all but total bans on the procedure in about half of the U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the majority.
If you come to
@KROQ

Thanks to Dan from Bastille
@bastilledan
for coming in.
Check out "Quarter Past Midnight" now!
Tomorrow morning Bean
@clydetombaugh
will do his last show. When I joined the on-air staff
@kroq
it was intimidating as fuck and I was overwhelmed with insecurities. I didn’t know Bean. Had never met him. One weekend...
Major congratulations to
@kevinandbean
on making the 2019 class of Radio Hall of Fame inductees!
You guys deserve it and more. It has been an honor to work with you all these years.
Perhaps it was boredom mixed with a little madness, along with some color inspiration from my friend
@meganholiday
, and the fact that Alias is coming to
@PrimeVideo
in May definitely upped my hair game. Whatever. Colors are fun. Do something silly today.

I took this picture of my dad when I was twelve years old. This is how I like to remember him—on the beach in the Bahamas, smiling. Wish we could be back there right now comparing sunburns. He's been gone a long time, but still I try to dodge this day because it hurts too much.
I love my friends and coworkers at KROQ and I've been trying to think of the right words to convey my sorrow over what happened to

& the rest of the morning show while also supporting the new lineup. Radio is a strange beast.
My 1st radio experience was at a gospel station run by a staff of black ministers. I had no religious inclinations, but I wanted to learn radio so I took the internship.
Thanks to those ministers for taking in this punk ass kid. They started my radio career.

Seal Beach residents buy all the baked goods from local doughnut shop every morning so owner can close up shop and go to nursing facility to take care of his wife, who recently suffered brain aneurysm
Got the beast out of bed for her vet visit to remove belly stitches. She’s doing great. ❤️ Then I’ll get on-air
@kroq
and take you through this Saturday. There are marches all over Southern California today. Get out there. Support. Be an ally.
Just got back to LA after an epic 4 month cross country roadtrip. It's weird coming back. The last 36 hours I felt like I was living in some strange bubble of time and space.
This morning at Starbucks I saw a guy dressed as Batman and everything is in its right place again.
Seeing posts about kids starting their first day of school reminds me of my first day of 1st grade. I was the only one waiting at the bus stop and the bus drove right by me. Didn't stop. Didn't come back.
Pretty sure that's when I turned goth.
