PS to everyone else: no, I'm not really aiming to start loading up junk on Twitter again, but at the moment its expedient. Plus, I hung with Elon Musk's gal Grimes at Moogfest a few years back, so there's that....

A shout-out to Jeff Rogers at KXCI-FM @KXCIofficial - Jeff, this is your friend Fred Mills listening to your show over the actual airwaves, as we are back in Tucson. I left a voicemail for you on the main line with my phone number. Meanwhile, more Trudell - miss him always.

Ordered the LP, can't wait to hear it! Meanwhile, here's an Asheville blast from the past - you signed it prior to the 2008 gig to my then-toddler Eli, and it has remained prominently on my office wall next to Patti. All the best to you and Amanda, Fred Mills

Loved today's Velvets trib, @wncw @wncwMartin - that CJs cover of Sweet Jane always slays me. Here's an image of a semi-related VU / REM project I oversaw all those years ago, including the original (later corrected) typo.

For the record, @roybittan IS in the original No Nukes cover shot — just tough to fit in a square. They made sure to keep him in the frame for the poster (comes with the LP)

Holy shit, @wncwjoe, I never take to Twitter anymore, but your last few shifts have had me falling outta trees. Keep it coming.
We’re landscaping the yard so @wncw is my go-to soundtrack, go figure. Now excuse me, but some matchstick men are coming up the street… ;-)

@SethAbramson Gen Z may be our only credible last stand. I can state for record my 19-year old is zillion times more aware than I. He’s a gamer, knows this drill; and I grew up under Nixon’s toxic shadow.

@JaworskiForTX Amen.

Feb. 1993, my brother Mike was on SNL, so I came to NYC because McCartney was the musical guest. Magic. Next day, Mike and I went up to Strawberry Fields to pay our respects to John. Across the “Imagine” mosaic, we noticed Bill Murray and HIS brother doing the exact same thing.

@chick_in_kiev The white supremacist dating site had a particular resonance because I grew up with the kids of Klansmen and sundry other racists. Posted a blog entry at FB today that I hope rings true. Now, more than ever, and by any means necessary.

Trump’s tweets always fascinating, as every armchair psychiatrist knows. To be honest, though, it’s the clown car of fans here that just kills me. Kids, this ain’t Beatles vs. Stones - more like Pixies vs. GG Allin. Whose music has endured? Buh- bye.

Not exactly what we had in mind

@tybuddhaboy Why does this asshole with the clownish facial hair constantly keep turning up in my Apple newsfeed, and what does he have to do with financial advice?

[Blurt Magazine @BlurtMagazine]

Okay, let’s do this. #vote

In the 60s, I read poems of Diane di Prima and was inspired by the jazz tropes of her revolutionary & womanly verses. Rather than grieve, shall we celebrate her transcendence from this mortal plane and from her life fully realized and at one with fecund, lunar harmonies?
