Well, my new case was no match for United Airlines!!!
@united
What must a baggage handler do to cause this kind of damage? The case is fully intact. Hardly a scratch that wasn’t there before it was checked. I’m devastated. I’ve traveled the world since 1984 playing music(cont.)
What’s your opinion of this lineup? Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio), Tony Austin (Kamasi Washington)’ Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Justine Warfield (She Wants Revenge), Brett Farkas, Chris Dowd, Angelo Moore and ME!!! Paying a well deserved homage to David Bowie on his birthday.
Little Richard and The Isley Brothers were articulate enough for The Beatles to mimic them all the way to superstardom…Get The Fukkk Outta Hear With That Bullshit!!!
The founder of Rolling Stone Jann Wenner has a new book about some of the best musicians of all time titled “Masters.” When asked by the NYT why he only focused on white male artists he says Black and female artists just don’t “articulate” at the level of white men.

I’m on Maui, producing an album for a band called The Lamonts. Bassist, Aydin Sey, picked me up from the airport, took me to drop my belongings where I’m staying and we got right to work! Today is day 2. I’ll be posting as we go along.
Catfish was one of the 1st Funk Mob members that a young Fishbone and friends met, outside of the backstage door of The Beverly Theater, after the 1st night of the Atomic Dog Tour in L.A., 1983. We wanted to meet George Clinton and

Doug Pinnick and I, loving his signature amplifier and speaker configuration!!! November 9, 2014…believe me, this is random for me. Not a TBT thing, although it’s Thursday. I am practicing sharing more…
We did it! Paddle out, caught waves. She rode more waves than me. Quite different than years ago. We saw Crash, the guy that actually taught Asè, Zineb and Safia their surf skills. Good to catch up.
Did it? Yep, and I had a blast whilst doing it!!! That's realtime reacting to Bernie Worrell's lost tapes. I partied to whatever was put up. It's an honor to be amongst those asked to participate.

played Dallas and Seattle. Regardless, I was impressed then and it’s still an alarming concept NOW!!!
I remember hearing a radio announcer say that the clothes worn on the album cover were all purchased from thrift stores. Very shortly thereafter, inner city black youth converged on Melrose. Along with Dirty Mind, this drastically transformed the hood in L.A.
If you can wrap your head around this!
42 YEARS AGO today, Prince and Morris Day put together The Time's self-titled debut album that is unrivaled in the purple world. While the album represents mostly work from P and MD, also making appearances were Dr. Fink (keys on The Stick

I’m sure that’s the way Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page felt about Jimi Hendrix? I got a Robert Johnson/Sister Rosetta Tharpe ass kickin’ for the pitiful fools that think anywhere near the same! What, Prince?!?!? Fukkk U

If you have any curiosity about the power dynamics of the band, watch Everyday Sunshine: The Story Of Fishbone. It’s very telling.
Thanks to the Fishbone Familyhood for supporting all of us for all of these years. I coined the term because I truly saw you as our extended family,

In 1831, Freedom fighter Nat Turner started what is considered the most deadly slave revolt in the history of the United States , the Nat Turner Rebellion, which sparked the events leading to civil war.

It’s an absolute honor to have participated in this recording project. Bernie Worrell’s influence on me is immeasurable. I truly appreciate that my path has lead me to this moment.
Hey y’all, I really appreciate the outpouring of concern for my well being. I absolutely do not take it lightly, for if anything were ever to actually happen, it’s nice to
know that people would move into action...
A year ago, February 16th, 2019, I broke my wrist while skateboarding. I spent the better part of today giving bass lessons. I’m extremely grateful that my students understood and stayed with me through my ordeal.…

I’ve continuously made music with Angelo from 1979 to the end of 2023. A hiatus is okay with me. If we never make music together again, we did the damn thang and I’m cool with that idea.

Today's guest is legendary comedian Margaret Cho. Her favorite band is Fishbone. Her mid-90s ABC sitcom almost had a ska theme song (by Skankin' Pickle). She went to punk & ska shows at The Farm and Gilman--she saw Operation Ivy! She tells us how all this informed her adult life

Gurner Group founder Tim Gurner tells the Financial Review Property Summit workers have become "arrogant" since COVID and "We've got to kill that attitude."
This was 60 years ago in living memory. The British genocide crimes in Kenya. The concentration camps that the British work to cover up. They never pay Reparation. No one talks about the Africa holocaust,
I love Chris and Angelo, because through it all, we’re brothers that created something unique, special and enduring.
As you can probably imagine, there’s a whole lot more to this story. In time, at the appropriate time, I’ll tell all.

Ooooh, he's reeely, reeely, pissed off!!! I'd be scared as shit if he got a 2nd presidency!!! I was scared the 1st go round. But for now, the biggest bag of popcorn and an appropriate accompanying beverage will give me comfort as I watch his meltdown with glee!!! Springer time!
Trump is now vowing to prosecute Joe Biden, his family & others if he gets into office. These are the rantings and ravings of a deranged lunatic. He cannot go to prison soon enough. The most anti-American individual in history. A failure. A criminal. A con man. A loser. A sleaze.
It looks like the leader that some of us was hoping would emerge may have been catapulted into action and the limelight by the actions of The Iron Fisted Fascist Authoritarian Republicans in service of White Supremacy...
