Weirdo. Two hit wonder. Nuggets fan. And somehow related to Barbie! Her creator was my mom’s 2nd cousin, or something like that.

Years ago, Scott Baio was standing in front of me telling his friend that some woman was “a stupid cunt”. He turned around, apologized, and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know a lady was present”. That’s my Scott Baio story.

Two years ago, I had brain surgery for my essential tremor. It was getting harder to play guitar and everyone thought I was either really nervous or smoking meth before my shows. I had to be awake during the procedure. They wanted to test my hands while playing guitar.

I’ll never forget being on his radio show “Loveline” in 96. He told his audience, not to get upset, that my Kissed a Girl song was just cute and not at all about lesbians. I tried to tell him that the writer of the song (me) thought differently. He was a dick.
Dr. Drew is a snake oil salesman. Really terrible stuff here. What a disgrace.

I sang Supermodel. You know my biggest fear was not the pain I might feel or the freakishness of having my skull open, but my performance for the docs and nurses! It was not my best. So out of tune. However, the surgery was a success!!

Abigail, I’m sorry you think the gays have overstayed their welcome. I just know that I wish there would have been Pride when I was a sad closeted teen. I’ll never forget the wonder and sense that I was not alone attending my first one. It still applies today

I knew on the surface it had to be somewhat light & funny - so I could get away with it. But underneath, was...the insidious “gay agenda”. I wanted to write a song that I wished I heard when I was young -terrified, lonely and queer.

's "I Kissed A Girl" was a watershed moment and deserves to be remembered as such

In 1992, I recorded a record with Wendy&Lisa. It was never released, thought it was lost in the Universal fire. I don’t even have a copy- haven’t heard the songs since then - until recently. Wendy found a copy.

I was in no mood for it. But tonight, I was hired to play a mini-concert on Zoom for someone’s birthday. It was a surprise. She was so excited & everyone was in such a great mood. I played her favorites. It so lifted me. And I realized, I like my fans. They are weirdos like me.

A few years ago, I walked by my childhood home. I decided to knock on the door. The current owner knew who I was, and let me in. Tonight, I’m doing a house concert there.Jr. High pals - who I haven’t seen since then- are coming! I was upset they took out the avocado shag carpet.

So many folks here have responded that they have the same condition- essential tremor. No one talks about it much, as it’s not as deadly as other movement disorders. You can’t die from it, but it can make like very difficult. BTW, last month, I did 6 shows a week. It worked!

To all those folks responding “no one cares”. Obviously you do care or you wouldn’t take the time to tweet it. And it is a big deal. It’s a big fucking deal. I think about my pal who was so talented, the best QB in school, but quit scared he would be found out. Bravo Carl Nassib
Raiders DL Carl Nassib became the first active NFL player to announce he is gay. “What’s up people,” Nassib posted on IG. “I just wanted to take a quick moment to say that I’m gay. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now but finally feel comfortable getting it off my chest.”

I was once on Adam’s radio show with the equally lovely Dr. Drew. They were reassuring the callers that my “I Kissed a Girl” song wasn’t really about lesbians, but just “innocent fun”. They were not interested in what the writer of the song - me- thought.

I was diagnosed later in life -I wish I had known so much earlier. It could have saved me years of pain wondering what was wrong with me. It’s under-diagnosed with girls as many of us were not hyperactive so we didn’t cause problems for anyone.
@yashar
This was so useful to read. I wasted years of therapy trying to analyze my inability back in high school to work, even on subjects I enjoyed. (Something something father?) Feel like a failure every single day, even after being diagnosed. This helps, thanks

People are asking me why I endorsed the use of "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the Ukrainian people and did not for the anti-maskers. Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is a infantile feet stomping against an inconvenience.

I was so excited that the video was to end with me kissing (and a real long kiss) the other woman. It was going to be a first on MTV. Plus I had a crush on her. In the end, the label chickened out. They had me pregnant with Fabio’s baby

Years ago, I was on a panel about the future of music. The guy from Spotify was next to me saying the new platform will be a lucrative & a blessing for artists. I responded that I thought, say, payola and coke under the table seemed more transparent & beneficial
If record labels + fans found out in the 90s that Tower Records was ripping off artists, using music profits to bankroll and elevate Rush Limbaugh, the shelves would have been empty.
I hope more powerful artists follow
