@ThatEricAlper Eric, thanks for the info. Can't wait to hear the collection. I have a feature, "EF: Elvis Forever," on my show on https://t.co/BXWwC3mriE, and will definitely feature tracks as soon as they're available. Cheers!

@DanRather Thank you, and here’s to your next chapters.

[fongtorres @RealFongTorres]

@SimonJester007 Thanks, Simon. It’s called Like a Rolling Stone and is on Netflix. Cheers.

[fongtorres @RealFongTorres]

@SonnyBunch Thanks a bunch, Sonny. And you're right; the Almost Famous character is a Hollywood sketch, created to help drive the story. Cameron did a great job, but that guy? It ain't me, Babe! PS: folo me @fongtorres at Instagram for some fun photos.

@siriusxmvolume @RollingStone @bobdylan @TheDoors Thank you. I've known SiriusXM since it was just XM. But enough about S/XM. Come see some wild and crazy photos spanning my career at Instagram, @fongtorres.

@thompowers @WNYC Thanks so much, Thom. It's an honor, and I -- and the whole team that produced this -- appreciate it. Rave on. Oh--and if you like celebrity pics, come to my Instagram page... @fongtorres and get a few smiles.

@cheo_coker Cheo, so awesome to see your tweet. I never expected to, but it's great to know I had an impact on some talented young people. Come see my vintage fotos on Instagram, @fongtorres. Rave on!

[fongtorres @RealFongTorres]

@Lorraine_Bracco He was a wonderful actor. Sorry for your loss, Lorraine...sorry for all of us.

[fongtorres @RealFongTorres]

@Mr_Bingo Thank you! Re the framed 45s in the photo: 1 is a gift, of an Elvis hit. The other: "Hey Jackie," which I wrote and recorded in spring 1963, doing an impression of President Kennedy. Backups included @AnnieSampson, who's in the doc, and future #BeauBrummels bassist #RonMeagher.

@ThatEricAlper thank you, Mr. Alper. Ben here. For some fun photos and stories that are not in the film, including @ValKilmer and @questlove, see me at Instagram, @fongtorres ... accept no substitutes!

[fongtorres @RealFongTorres]

@ThatEricAlper Hey, That Eric! Ben Fong-Torres here. Thanks for the tweet. People --even critics--appear to be digging the film, and how @SuzanneJoeKai wove together 4 streams: the '60s, rock & roll, journalism and a Chinese immigrant family story. She did good, and I appreciate your support.

[fongtorres @RealFongTorres]

@yourboyeddie Ben Fong-Torres here. Thank you, Eddie. Stevie was a pleasure, whether talking about racism or playing guest DJ on my radio show. I posted a candid foto of us in Chinatown SF on my Instagram @fongtorres.

[fongtorres @RealFongTorres]

@CAAM @Nattotodd Hope to see you there. Meantime, visit my Instagram page… @fongtorres for fun fotos over the years…Ben FT

[fongtorres @RealFongTorres]

@DanRather I'm not a prayer, but in this case, I'm with you.

[fongtorres @RealFongTorres]

@Nattotodd @SFC_Datebook Best ever piece about me. And there've been 3 or 4.
No, really. The best.
