Happy 89th, Willie Nelson! I'm not a big fan of country music. Neither is Willie. He, along with artists like Waylon, Johnny Cash, Emmylou, Jerry Jeff, Dolly & others transcend labels. They just make damn good music. Have a favorite Wiilie song? I'll take "On the Road Again."

Watergate felt like there was one liar, one paranoid villan- even though he had help. And a bipartisan senate working to find truth. This feels like half of the government is corrupt and working against democracy. Watergate was a slap in the face. This is a knife in the heart.

Today at 12:30 pm I'll be saying goodbye to an old friend- my left foot. A team of surgeons have decided that is my best option. Not even a few spongbaths from some really sweet nurses could save it. Hold me in light, please 🙏

A reminder: The same vacuum of real leadership that created the coup attempt in DC yesterday also allowed 4000 Americans to die in a pandemic our "leaders"
have ignored. And 4000 more will die today. It's time to act.

I'm 61. I was alive for the Cuban missile crisis & JFK's murder. I remember Vietnam, the riots of '68 & the scourge of Watergate. I saw a gas crisis, bad recessions, Iran/Contra, 9/11, & illegal wars. But I have never feared for our republic more than I do today.

Morning. We lost Jimmy Buffett last night. JB was many things, but to me, he was part of my soul. He was my first concert. I read his books. His music is filled with joy, madness & real life lessons. And he REALLY lived. Losing him truly hurts. I'm so thankful for his music. 🦜

I personally believe the statement below contains truth. The problem is that the money behind the ads doesn't believe it. They believe Jesus only "gets" straight white men. They are bigots like Hobby Lobby & pricks like Joel Osteen. Jesus doesn't get them, & they don't get Jesus.

This video reminds me of a chat I had 30 years ago. A new HS grad was telling me he was becoming a cop. I was shocked, as the young man was often in trouble. When I asked why he said that "no one can tell a cop he's wrong." That arrogance and anger is on our streets today.
