But if u notice, becuz of the endless interruptions by the handler (who was essentially a stand in for

's controlling EX), we didn't end until night time. Look at that sky! The poor, sea sick crew had to relight about 25 times. We are... on a boat ... in the DARK.🌒

Happy Birthday to Michael Stipe. I grew up listening to him & REM. I loved how unpolished their approach to songs was. He was also the first rock star I saw get out of the elevator at WNYU, my college radio station. I feel just fine about still listening to him as we grow old.

My kids & don't talk a lot about my 1st career. It was a LONG time ago. So, it surprised me when my son and I were arguing a while back about him going to bed on time. He said "I’ll go to bed IF you get your nineties haircut again.” But which one?

VMA pre show staff meeting - maybe in 1993? My shirt says "Cindy's Crew" because I was wearing a House of Style shirt and at that time, Cindy Crawford was the host. Having Cindy around meant getting to use her makeup artist & hair stylist because MTV News wouldn't pay for two.

Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.

And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, & other voices
