I'm so sorry about your mom. What a horrible year for you. This year has been like that for me. Despite the election, one thing won't change. We won't go back.

The sadness is almost crippling. We could have been looking at such a bright, hopeful future, but instead, this. Existential dread. Please, somebody, remove this cancer from our body politic before our country disintegrates. Still trying to pick myself up and dust off. We have work ahead of us. Do it for Jimmy Carter.

As terrified and anxious as I know we all are, today I send out my love to all of VC, and my conviction that the United States is going to weather this storm and move beyond the lunacy and hatred. We ARE better than this! Get out tomorrow, if you haven't already, and VOTE. Make your voice heard. Get your loved ones to a polling place too. Let them add their voices. When we all speak, we find out we are a good and decent country with a bright furure. We don't need to follow a dark path. Let's go with joy instead. And science, and progress, and inclusion, for a start.

This reminded me of the little kid who called churches "Jesus stores".

I love Steve Wynn, he's great! that must've been a blast.

Bbop, you've outdone yourself. I laughed so hard at the canapés that I started to choke & had to sit forward in my chair, before I could read the rest. Aww, Jeff Tweedy, where would we be without your outlook? It's a treasure. Thank you for documenting these days, Paul.

Loving your reportage as always, bbop! Elizabeth Moen is great. What a voice!

This is an extensive and pretty amazing collection of artists and songs! And a great chance to give support to struggling hurricane victims.

You big meanie. It has unicorns, and pink! If they couldn't choose mine (well I had stamped it with my "Fuck Trump" stamp several times) then Clementine's was a deserving 2nd choice. I love Wilco-O's version too!

Well damn these sound good!

There was a joke to the effect that "Some are (summer) teeth, some aren't" but I don't remember more context.

Sending so much love and gratitude to my favorite music man. You are such a force for good in the world! Have a glorious birthday with your sweet family! I"m always looking forward to my next chance to see you and be transported by your talent.

Nope, nothing yet. The SSF beef jerky has been made...lots to share so hit me up at ssf!

Dear bbop, I've been reading your reviews with appreciation and admiration for years, but this one so perfectly captures the zeitgeist of the night, the energy in the room...you've outdone yourself! It's a truly great review.

I wanna hear "Ian Dury".
