you are one of the songwriting greats and such an inspiration to me as an artist. Any bullshit-high-school-battle-of-the-bands type comments made to suggest otherwise are just ignorance. Thanks for all the tremendous work you do.
I’m really grateful to
@Apple
for changing those annoying headphone jacks that worked with all the other headphone devices in the world. It’s super fun to have to keep track of the little attachment and carry two sets of headphones. Helps the customer so much which is 😎 awesome!
As a fellow songwriter, sometimes it almost hurts how great
@taylorswift13
music is. Almost, but then I fall back to the correct response of gratitude that someone understands my feelings so clearly and consistently articulates them. I know I’m not alone in saying I’m a big fan.
Would like everyone who comments on everyone else’s appearance, famous or not, to take note of this brilliant
@lunarbaboon
cartoon. Your thoughts are your own. You can think it, but saying it is as shallow and superficial as it is unkind.

crushes! What an incredible show. She played several solo songs, told stories, sang, danced and entertained. Definite top 5 artist for me.

@POTUS
So strange to create so many crazy situations and then take credit for ending them when they subside. Assuming we survive this nightmare of a human leading the nation, history will work out how this went down.
Can’t say enough about how much inspiration I get from

followers I assume has to do with folks who are mad at my voting for Biden/Harris. No regrets on that front. But also, I don’t gloat or hold grudges. And like our new president-elect, I’m here for everyone. Only requirements are decency & kindness. ✌️❤️
People that talk at quiet moments in shows suck in a way that’s kind of sad, cause they can’t see it, but they’re fucking up the lives of others without realizing their own shitty contribution to humanity.
It is 8 degrees Fahrenheit in my town right now but a week from today I’m gonna be Jammin on the beach 🏖 in Jamaica 🇯🇲 with

Obviously I want to sell as many tickets as possible - obviously - but a fella wrote me to tell me that I told too many stories - & I figure that fair warning if you don’t enjoy stories w/ the songs maybe just sit tight & skip the live show cause it’s chock full of “banter” 😎✌🏻
Happy Birthday

Having just today spent a months mortgage payment on a four hour visit my daughter had to the hospital this past summer, I gotta say Trump spending the weekend in the hospital and telling us not to worry about Covid-19 is a real punch in the face to the working class.
#VOTEHIMOUT
Trump sure is a piece of shit.
Hope this animal loses tomorrow and doesn’t further corrupt this country with his toxic hatred for everyone who doesn’t love him.
While planning to release a few B-Sides we just found a wildly douchey email from a guy in 2009 who was mad about not getting to hear this song and said in the future he would only listen to Wilco and that he was hanging up his SK shoes, So we just added him to the mailing list.
My wife found $100 bill today on the ground and she walked it into the local pet store and gave it to them. And THAT is one of the many reasons she’s a better person than me.
I’d do anything to lesson the pain my children feel. But I can only do so much and that’s probably as it should be. Still, say a prayer for my Noelle tonight. She has been under the weather with altitude for almost 4 days and I can’t wait to hear her talking my ear off again. ✌️
To the douche nozzle who told me to “go to bed kellogg” for having the audacity to express an opinion, I did - for four hours so that I could make my way home & play hang man with the daughters who cause me to give a shit about the future of America. It’s called empathy - try it
My daughter was 2 years old when
@SaraBareilles
toured with me, now she is 14 and diligently practicing “Love Song” in the next room while I peruse for tickets to Waitress. Life surges on and it’s not a competition...it’s a beautiful evolution that I’m so thrilled to be part of.
My girl was great. I got to see her play Juliet in “Romeo and Juliet.” And now it’s time to take two planes to Nebraska and play for the people of Lincoln. And those are the two axes on which my world spins.
In honor of my 20 year wedding anniversary on July 27th, I’m planning a very special reminder of what our first year of marriage was like, and going on a tour with the full band. More details soon, but consider saving the dates of 7/27-31 if you were a fan circa 2007 😮
Some people show up at a show drunk and pushy. They want what they feel they are owed for the ticket they bought.
Others arrive hopeful and perhaps needing something that’s missing in their life. A laugh, a cry.
I’ll give you 3 guesses which type of person I live to play for.🤔
Just heard that one of our longtime listeners, Candace, is in the fight of her life. I learned that she has a dog named “Kellogg.” This is devastating news and I’m asking you all to pray for her whether you know her or not, whether you believe in God or not; just use your heart.
Some dude just wrote me on Facebook to tell me that my music was a “blatant rip off of Eric Church.” Having never heard Mr. Church’s music I popped it on, and while it’s good, it sounds NOTHING AT ALL like me.
People just suck.
Just shared “Dead Poets Society” with my oldest two girls. So much wisdom in that movie. Passing on lessons via art. Makes me miss the genius that was Robin Williams, and makes me sad that we can’t always reach everyone in pain. But the important thing is to never stop trying.
All I want for Christmas is a big ol’ hit
A string of sold out shows & other good sh&t
Maybe to get lucky every couple days
A trip with my whole family where we don’t need waze
Peace for every child, women & good men
Leave it better than we found it, can I get an Amen 🙏?
Cowering in a corner afraid to lose followers and pretending I don’t have an opinion about the awfulness that is Trump.
Naw just kidding.
It’s not Republicans or Democrats- it’s common sense and this guy is a true P.O.S 💩
Everytime we lose followers who don’t support decency- an angel gets its wings. Rather stand with a smaller number of people who give a shit, than an army of MAGA.
John Prine was one of the 4 shows that changed my life. I played a few festivals with him and the nicest piece of press I’ve ever gotten drew a comparison between us-nothing anyone has written has ever meant more to me. There is a hole in the universe tonight.
@JohnPrineMusic
My 15 year old posted this.
Imagine if I told her to “stay in her lane.”
Unfollow if ya must but I want history to record which side I decided to stand with.
Put this album out 8 years ago today. It was a tough experience making this one, but thankful for songs like “Roots and Wings”, “My Favorite Place”, “Charlie And Annie”, “We Belong Here” and “Noelle, Noelle.”

@hrsharpless
once said “alcohol is noisy.” It is. I don’t care if someone drinks. I myself like drinking. If you come to a show though & make a bunch of noise during the quiet moments detracting from the atmosphere, than you’re messing with my people & that ain’t cool.
I’m slightly shocked to tell you that in spite of my plans to take a brief break from touring, I’m doing 6 weeks of dates opening for Matt Nathanson. Was not planning on that, but the universe had other plans, and who am I to blow against the wind?
15 years ago today this album came out on

- and although it wasn’t the thunderbolt change that I thought maybe it would be, it did give me the permission I needed to live the life i was destined to live.
Gotta love when venues insist on selling merch for you, sell slowly, don’t really care about the customer, don’t bother to inventory properly and then take 20% (no shit) of the money for themselves.
This is a straight up extortion and it will never not piss me off.
Just sat and listened to new
@taylorswift13
record. I’m 44, with 4 kids and a crazy work schedule...this isn’t something I really do anymore, but she’s the one. The one that can still stir my heart without fail. Thanks for another great batch of songs. Makes me want to do better.
Just landed at JFK. Great tour supporting
@mattnathanson
. 28 shows total. Thrilled to have gone. Thrilled to be home. And that’s how this goes. See you later, see you soon.

She had seen more than 250 of my shows by the time we put her on the payroll. We’ve since logged thousands of miles with Miss Mahones as a part of our treasured crew, and are lucky to have her - please join me in wishing
@asianleprechaun
the happiest of happy birthdays!!
An invitation to come drink with you 5 hours before the show is about the least appealing offer I can imagine. Had a group of "fans" that really kinda killed the vibe on a show a couple nights ago. If you're getting loaded before an SK show at this point, may be time to rethink.
Prince Harry cries and everyone in my house is like “OMG that’s so sweet”, but me, a regular crier, cries and they’re like “dad/hon get it together!”
#royalBS
It’s not every day that a relatively obscure singer songwriter from America can say “I’d like to thank
@nickelback
for opening up the show tonight”, but yesterday was that day for me.

What wonderful humans and…
Guys. Do not tolerate this thinly veiled racism. It’s some serious low brow shit. It’s not a Chinese virus - it’s a virus that effects everyone. Be better than this.
The United States will be powerfully supporting those industries, like Airlines and others, that are particularly affected by the Chinese Virus. We will be stronger than ever before!
I’m gonna go on record and say that, price be damned, front row seats should ONLY ever be sold to awesome fans who know and dig the music. Tonight’s second show in Des Moines, IA was the best so far of the tour and a lot of it was how incredibly cool the front row was.
#Respect
You know what sucks about people who yap through the quiet parts of shows?
They’re allowed to ruin it (to a degree) for the majority of folks who want to see what their ticket bought. And even though the yappers could go elsewhere, they don’t. Like a microcosm of 🇺🇸 right now.
Proud of my oldest daughter for presenting a ten minute independent research talk on women’s rights today. God willing she’ll be part of the generation that stops tolerating the boys club BS that pervades so many important areas of our society.
Oh man. As many of you know, I’ve been at it for years. Hungry to be enough. To reach more people. Seeking validations or at least signs that I am where I’m supposed to be. I’ve endured…
This whole “unmask our kids” things is some seriously negligent 💩. Might as well be like “unbuckle our kids.” Stop making the inconvenience of wearing a mask a bigger deal than it is. This is a serious public health crisis & kids are gonna be fine, but they gotta know what’s up.
December 13.
Happy birthday to my Mother In Law Ingrid. Gone 5 years and you are thought of daily.
To my great aunt Pat, 95 years old who I was able to fuss over yesterday in Madison, WI on our day off.
And to my favorite living artist
@taylorswift13
. You are an inspiration.
If I never played to a “chatty audience”for the rest of my life, that would be too f’n soon. If folks show up at tour and can’t stop yapping I’m retiring. Fuck this.
This is a big F’n deal. Grateful for my turn. Grateful for the availability of Vaccines. Grateful for science, goodness and the opportunity to slow the spread of Covid-19.
It’s funny how quickly one can change allegiances. Sophia decided on the University of Maryland last week and I’m ready to put a world of hurt on that book store merch.
