@danamo Thank you for the scans. 52 is...not fair.

@Flipout Just bought this and paid extra, in case the lawyers show up. Great work!

@drkimberlymack @PopMatters @333books @LivingColour Little Richard RAPPING? The best, right?

@michaelharriot “More Than A Woman” is about female conjoined twins.

[Mark Montgomery French @MrFr3nch]

@craigspoplife YES!! This is a wonderful piece!

It would probably anger Warner Bros. if you viewed this behind-the-scenes crew reel from "Coyote vs. Acme", so don't watch it and definitely don't share it.

@vurnt22 @OfficialCropper Following. Well, actually following since The Blues Brothers movie, but you know what I mean.

When songs you've co-written get covered by both The Beatles and Public Enemy, you've ascended to the top of composition mountain. RIP to Rudolph Isley, an original rock star. #fightthepower

Following accusations of abuse, both the Catholic church and Southern Baptist Convention have offered apologies.

In her newest column, @kayaoakes asks what those apologies achieve and if they suggest clergy abuses of power will end. https://t.co/Gxphhf9Wrt

“Hancock in effect created a world music album, like Paul Simon’s ‘Graceland. But instead of leaving New York to go to South Africa, Hancock simply went to a different block.”

@danamo This is so heavy I can only read several paragraphs at one time before I get too sad to finish. Excellent article!

It was a joy to be on Steve Arnoff’s podcast as we continued the theme from our panel at The World of Bob Dylan Conference: “When Dylan Gets it All Wrong.” Hear me bring the receipts about Dylan’s issues with Black people!

@harvilla Great episode! I’m currently teaching a online Prince class so I know the feeling of listening to nothing but Prince for a month. Not a complaint, by the way!

George Floyd was murdered 3 years ago today, which is when I co-created this piece w/@MarvinKWhite.

"Mbps/9:29 recalls how long it takes for a black person to die, while we watch. We invite you to allow the timer to elapse in an uninterrupted seating."

Tina Turner wrote a diss song about how much her hometown sucked, which then became an international hit. #TinaTurner was a badass.

Enjoy my “Unsung Women of Music” talk on June 24. It’s a humorous and historically accurate hour that reveals the female song makers, beat-shakers, and dealmakers nudged to the margins of music history.

Nice to wake up to positive news that has no chance of triggering misogynists whatsoever. Right @kayaoakes ?
