@BobScheurle @TreeHouseBrewCo Thank you for this. Day made.

The kids will never understand

@Evanryt Green has two of the best REM deep cuts of all time. While Murmur stands as my favorite, Green is a top 3. Don’t discount it for those of us entering our teenage angst as it came out.

In his journals, Kurt Cobain listed his 50 favorite albums. His taste? Immaculate. But there's one glaringly odd pick. The lone Nirvana album is... Green? R.E.M.'s very uneven 1988 LP, objectively the most disappointing record they'd put out to date. Why? I have three theories

Sadly, this is the first year at the commemoration ceremony at Pearl Harbor that no Pearl Harbor survivor has attended. We have lost so many over the past few years and as few as 12 remain living today. From one generation to the next. Remember Pearl Harbor. Remember those lost. Remember those who survived. #PearlHarbor84

It was a good ride.

@tillwehvfaces Led a venue full of Danes in Copenhagen in a sing along …

If you ever doubt C.S. Lewis’ & Tolkien’s observation that we are all longing and homesick for somewhere we’ve never been, you only need to listen to a group of people sing Country Roads.

“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney

@BrendanCarrFCC @MarshaBlackburn Ooooh country “radio tour”. Going down!

Thank you Senator Blackburn for raising this important issue regarding Payola schemes perpetrated by broadcasters. This conduct hurts America’s songwriters & musicians. I’ve asked our Enforcement Bureau to examine this & will provide an update here this week. @MarshaBlackburn

@johnrich Best Poor Use of Apostrophes goes to…..John Rich.

Folks are asking me "how do music award shows work?" Labels/publishers all have blocks of votes. They make deals with each other "you vote for mine, we'll vote for yours" type thing. It has ZERO to do with who made the best music, thus, Beyonce with "Country album of the year." Nice, right? The same thing is true with the CMA's, ACM's, Billboard, etc...all work exactly the same. Last night, the Grammy's outed themselves in a big way.

If I were forced to pick one scene in Lynch's run that encapsulates his art (which is impossible), my pick is the Llorando sequence in Mulholland Drive. Even in the dark of our nightmares, the beauty and pain of art can reach us, even if that art is built on nightmares itself.

So many historic properties destroyed such as the ZANE GREY house in Altadena. Originally built in 1906 by Elmer Grey as a Mediterranean Revival “fireproof” structure. Zane Grey moved his family into the house in 1920 and passed away here in 1939. They’ll never regain this prestige. The craftsmanship doesn’t exist today. Folks in Grey’s hometown of Zanesville, Ohio, have also noted this heartbreaking loss. This home has significant meaning to me since my mother is from Zanesville and Elmer Gray built the house I grew up in. 💔

@AlisaValdesRod1 That article is WOW hard to read and so many kinds of wrong, over and over again.

@kpottermn Not true. Platinum + Reserve card and have been upgraded 3x to first in the last few weeks. Pick smart flight times for upgrades. Love @delta.

Spoiler alert: There is no level of status that will get you first class upgrades with Delta anymore. The airline said yesterday that it’s now selling 88% of first class seats - up from just 14% in 2011. If you want it, pay for it.

@AmyNielsen06 We queried you!

@AmyNielsen06 Love to query our Nashville story when you’re open.

While I'm still not technically open to submissions, I'm excited to share what I'll be looking for when I am! As a new agent, this will change. Feel free to ask questions! #WritingCommunity #amquerying thepurcellagency.com/amy-nielsen.ht…

@emilioherce Was offered 35k once to assistant editor a mag in DC.

I’m glad that PAPER is back, but $50-60K a year for a full time music editor job… feels criminal?

@ItsDavePaulson That’s where I decided to quit my day job. A dubious decision to this day, 10 years later ;)

One time I played a show here and we had to switch up the order of bands because one member had been robbed and pistol-whipped in the parking lot 5 million dollars nashvillepost.com/business/devel…

@annkpowers I remember buying this book! - EE

Barbara also edited a truly great anthology, Trouble Girls: The Rolling Stone Book of Women in Rock. Incredibly inventive work by a stellar array of women writers. It pains me that no one remembers that book.

Tires of the Jann discourse but will occasionally need so say more. Someone here marveled that I had only had one RS cover.One reason was Spin was my glossy home, where friends/family worked. Certainly another was, I too SOMETHING for RS. One editor got me tho 1/

@jodyrosen Remember when @AmyRay wrote a brilliant song calling him out. Yeah. youtube.com/watch?v=ZN_vWT…
