@davidclowery I assume “The Golden Age” title track is spiking a little today as wry commentary by fans.

Number of spins across the Cracker catalog this month: 5318008

Bob may manage to keep me on X for a while.

No matter the election outcome, could we rely on a @JohnKingCNN #MagicWall to analyze all major events worldwide going forward?

Iowa somehow always finds its way back into the national political conversation.

"You can look at Nashville pre-Kris and post-Kris, because he changed everything." — Bob Dylan

Likewise—because the “other things” Dylan has done in the last 20+ years are powerful, too. A lifetime of creativity demands adapting with your muse and toolkit.

@Clay_Masters (Neither is “Little Pink Houses,” the Midwestern “Born in the USA.”)

Reminder: "Born in the USA" is not a patriotic song.

@titonka Maybe Tom Arnold is in the running?

Mt. Pleasant, Iowa suffered a blow when Iowa Wesleyan University closed last year. RAGBRAI is a welcome shot in the arm. We’re staying in the former university library, now operated by The Belle Center — a non-profit dedicated to community & innovation. bellecenter.org

Such fun to be back in Atlantic last evening with Lloyd and Winnie Munson (our teammate @KyleMunson’s folks) whom we last visited in 2019. Winnie’s pie game is as strong as ever.

Many thanks to our Glenwood hosts, Jack Groves, Montana Crow, and Montana’s dad Tim. The cool evening on their porch was a delightful kickoff to our Iowa adventure. Here’s today’s cycling route.

@HorsleyScott @RAGBRAI_IOWA Front fork + table fork! Have fun on the training trails for the next 2 weeks. See u soon. 🚴‍♂️

Getting RAGBRAI Ready! Just two more weeks of pedal & pie training before @RAGBRAI_IOWA

@andreafrantz221 @RegisterDsm @iowa_western Thanks, Andrea!

What a terrific piece on the historic roots of @RegisterDsm by @KyleMunson Happy 175th! #journalism @iowa_western desmoinesregister-ia.newsmemory.com/?publink=1c470…

My favorite X at this point is #iawx X. Looking for the proper terminology for this cloud formation over the @IowaCubs game … ?

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth. It was on this day in 1865 that Union soldiers landed in Galveston Bay, Texas, with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved people there were now free. This pivotal event took place two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Although it has long been celebrated in the African American community, it became a federal holiday in 2021. Happy Juneteenth!

My heart goes out to Greenfield and everybody affected by this devastating #iawx.

Greenfield, #Iowa is completely leveled by the #tornado track! It's very bad here, Please send help, food, water, and supplies... I have search and rescue ongoing right now! #IAwx @NWSDesMoines @NWSOmaha Contact Curtislergner@gmail.com for licensing.

Just heard this for the first time. Her voice floors me. It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered a new (to me) singer this powerful, distinct, and emotional.
