I'm in a happy & hopeful mood, the first (politically) since 2016. Anything is better than what we've been through.

So Biden has just pulled ahead in GA and is steadily expanding his lead. Also Jon Ossoff's GA senatorial race will now go to a runoff on January 5th, along with Raphael Warnock's. Those 2 senate runoff races could determine control of the Senate! Thought y'all could use some happy news. It's not over yet but I can't stop smiling.

How is everyone doing out there? This GA race is a nailbiter even for someone who has never been a nailbiter!!! I'm praying Biden pulls it off. And the Ossoff race goes to a run-off as well!

A trump win is incomprehensible to me. I can't even imagine continuing on down the road we've been on. As the saying goes, "However far you've gone down the wrong road, turn back!"

Well shoot, I didn't see that 700-person cut-off for the book from the Offerman show. I guess I missed out too! My book arrived today, but without an autograph. Sigh.

I'm definitely working my way toward an ulcer.

Election night 2020, and my gut is in knots again. How are you all holding up? It's about 6:20 p.m. here in CA. Hoping and dreading the hours ahead. Trying for more hope and less dread, but damn this is scary!

A sad loss...One of my earliest memories is of my mom taking us kids to see Goldfinger (I think?) and responsibly covering my eyes on the too-sexy parts. Thanks Mom. RIP, Sean.

Not sure if she is selling more, either thru Oona or otherwise. I'll ask. I am currently wearing the one which reads, "Stop calling it the China virus you heinous monster" It's a bit astonishing how much I, a kind-hearted person, hate trump. But he's earned it.

Susie Tweedy, I have lusted after your brilliant rage-crafted buttons since you first turned your hand to the art of the button. How perfect that these buttons arrived in today's (Nov.2) mail, in time to steel me for tomorrow's election! I am ready now. Bring it ON! I have a button for whatever ails us. See photo. Think blue, everybody. Onward & upward. PS - the stay-the-fuck-home one refers to the pandemic. If you haven't voted, take all precautions but please, get out tomorrow and make your voice heard. We need each of you. Isn't the Betsy DeVos one pret

Oh! Of course you did!!! Sorry, my brain is frazzled and fried today...cannot wait for tomorrow to be over! And yes, now I remember your version well, it was hauntingly beautiful & now I want to hear it again! I'll bet Jeff and family loved it too.

Very cool! I look forward to hearing you!

If you buy the cd now, as a preorder, you will also receive a free download of the album. So while you won't get your cd until January, you can listen to the download immediately. I like cd's so I've just downloaded & burned to cd.

Don't miss this appearance! Jeff Tweedy on CBS This Morning, 10-24-20

Haven't had time yet to watch it all, but the first half is magnificent...the setting, Jeff's voice, the songs chosen...thanks for sharing this, and I can't wait to watch the rest!

That'll be a blast! Have a great time!

WOW! Take me to the Islands, Mon! That was pure tropical delight.

Here's a terrific read for all of you, discussing what it's like for Spencer to have Jeff for a dad. Some great parenting pointers in here! https://pitchfork.com/features/family-matters/lots-of-people-wish-jeff-tweedy-were-their-dad-for-spencer-tweedy-its-a-reality/

Here is Susie's follow-up photo. Lotti, it looks like they have left the area in front of the rocking chair open for the nunchucks demonstration.

Susie asked me to post this for you! She says, "Here is a little hint about the special Tweedy Shows Friday and Saturday....."

Thanks for posting this, Vanessa!

Agreed, it was a great conversation to listen in on. Both were very relaxed and I felt like a fly in their hair on the wall, just hanging out listening to 2 friends talking.

I love how this bunch takes care of each other. Thanks, Yaz Rock! Also, I located my copy so yay me! I need so badly to organize my cd's.

Rockbus and KevinG, I can help you out just as soon as I figure out where I've put that cd! Was just listening the other day so it can't be far...I'll send you a pm when I find it. You are going to love the Jay Bennett documentary being completed by filmmaker Gorman Bechard, who is one of our members. It's called "Where Are You, Jay Bennett?" and is a beautiful and moving look at his life and music. It features many of those closest to Jay, including his mom and brother, and songwriting & touring partner Edward Burch. Today's Question of the Day: What was Jay Bennett's favorite c

Very nice, relax and have an amazing time!
