statement on Live Nation verdict

@paranoiacs Maybe Davey….wasn’t good at managing?

Miniscule sample size and ketamine levels of runaway optimism required, but there is something legitimately kinetic and exciting about the Nats 3-1 start that I've not felt since the pre-pandemic days. They're all pretty hot. Damon Lile looks like a ten year big leaguer. Wiemar.

@jillsobule Happy happy!

It’s my birthday! And I’m telling everyone!!!

@emwizzle @future_of_music @waltermcdonough He was your biggest fan (and had a terrific eye for talent)

@paranoiacs Pete from 1980-82 was like prime Scherzer nearing 100 pitches -- throwing extremely hard and emptying his tank

Louche and isolated, bored and wasted, the final gunshot of a rock & roll outlaw broken down and missing Keith Moon, the hectic sound of a locomotive sold for parts. The Who’s “You Better You Bet” is all Hail Mary hooks, bargaining and grief. Got fooled again. Their generation.

@jillsobule So sorry! Not a movie but are you watching English Teacher on Hulu? It’s AMAZING

I got Covid. I’m stuck in a tiny hotel room. I feel more bored than sick. What old or new movie should I watch? Now mind you, I’m not all there at the moment

@dessadarling @Georgetown @nyu @PerpichArtsHigh ...and as the instructor who hosts @dessadarling at Georgetown, I can't recommend her highly enough. She always brings her A-game and the students LOVE her.

This fall, I'll be visiting classes at @Georgetown, @nyu, and Penn State, and @PerpichArtsHigh. If you're an educator who might be interested in a guest lecture on communications, entrepreneurship, or creative writing, say hello.

@annkpowers I mean….i think some DC types might be having a tougher holiday but your underlying point is solid.

The worst way to spend your holiday: sofa shopping

@emilynussbaum Well that’s another kettle of fish. I’m used to hearing inappropriate lawyer talk

@michaelbracy In this case it's the conductors and I am learning a LOT

I was sad because I lost my earphones on the way to the Amtrak then happy because I was experiencing unexpectedly great eavesdropping then sad again because there was no way for me to watch the new Evil

@emilynussbaum Do they know?!?!! Do they care!?!!?

@michaelbracy This one is a local, but same diff. I feel like taking this train every week just to listen in on people!!

Well this is unexpected!

Wayne was the BEST. An inspiration for us all.

@jillsobule You two were so great together, Jill. He was a GIANT.

RIP Wayne Kramer. So heartbroken. The best man in the world, and someone I was so grateful to have in my life, passed today. Love to Margaret and the family. Kick out the Jams MF forever! #waynekramer

There's not just one culprit • ownership consolidation in print, digital & broadcast • predatory private equity buyouts • ad tech duopoly • extractive digital business models None of this was inevitable. All of this reflects public policy choices.

I’m honored & humbled that Lou Reed: The King of New York was chosen by the @washingtonpost as one of the best books of 2023, a list that includes Lucinda Williams’ (@HappyWoman9) powerful memoir and so many other great works. Thank you 🙏 washingtonpost.com/books/2023/11/…

@m_millsey Tell Us The Truth Tour SIGH!!!

I got to play this song with Lester Chambers on Billy Bragg’s Tell Us The Truth tour in 2003. Powerful then and now.
