@seanonolennon Some yrs ago, I drove across USA from Washington State thru Detroit, radio loud all the time, shifting stations. And noticed you couldn't go more than 10 min before "that sound" filled the air. A sound that held everything together. Good Vibes indeed. Let's keep them happening.

@seanonolennon You have my Pope vote! As long you don't quit social media!

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

@seanonolennon I just want to mention your Dad wrote a grand reimagining (Own Write) of this story back in '64 and that other Disney Snow White influences pop through here & there in his Fabs work. So amazing to see you vigorously engaging with this IP all these years later!

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

@seanonolennon So would you agree to spelling your name "Shaun" as directed by AI? :)))

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

@seanonolennon Thank you! If we can all agree on that, we'll be okay!

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

@NarniaWeb Don't like them. The vibe is "violent". Bring back Pauline Baynes!

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

@Glumpuddle My bet: Susan is the main character.

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

@seanonolennon Happy New Year, Sean!

@NarniaWeb Aslan is Elvis? 😜

@seanonolennon You're not getting how that word hits aspiring alpha uber machos like you know who. And maybe Sean you need to stop playing the "aloof middle". This is not that kind of moment in time. Do better.

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

@seanonolennon I hope you saw Godzilla Minus One. It reminded all who saw it what a really good movie feels like. Oh yeah, and its also a monster movie!

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

@seanonolennon Congratulations, Sean. Your (& team's) work has made me love this album all over again, maybe more than ever. You're right, this was/is your Dad in top form and what a blessing to hear it fresh again. Thank you!

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

@RBeilfuss You obviously haven’t seen Godzilla Minus One. ;)

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

YOUR FAVOURIT #Beatles year & what it says about U:
1960-63: Contrarian. Weirdo.
1964: You stopped listening after that yr.
1965/66: You also like Sinatra & “Mad Men”.
1967: You believe in magic.
1968: You’re more of a Stones fan.
1969/70: You also like Paul Simon & Supertramp.

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

#GodzillaMinusOne A powerful, momentous, intimate human drama that also happens to have a whole lot of Godzilla in it! Instant classic, As good as “Jaws”. You read that right. Waste no time, get to a theatre and see it now!

[Michael O'Brien @OMadboy]

One good thing about needing new glasses is that sometimes you look at a Christmas tree and for a few seconds, you think it is a promo statue of #Godzilla

Who else remembers that “Rum, Sodomy” had so much music on it that the side 2 groove ran all the way up to the middle label; & that most turntables would automatically lift the arm off before you could play the final notes of "Band Played Waltzing Matilda”? #ShaneMacGowan
