Orchestras, you do NOT want to miss out on an opportunity to be part of history. My moon landing piece would be great for the school kids in your community. Tweet before 3/1/18 for best rate.

#Washington, how about some legislation making it illegal for politicians to accept $$ from NRA, and other gun-related lobbys? Then perhaps they might be able to do something about gun violence. #GunLawsNOW

A distinct pleasure to work with John Williams at the @Indy_Symphony this past weekend. His generosity is immeasurable.

@algore watch his latest movie, An Inconvenient Sequel.
Makes me wonder what the world would be like without the Electoral College.

America’s leading scientists have confirmed what Mother Nature has been making plenty clear: the climate crisis is real and urgent. If the Administration won't listen & if the federal gov't won’t act, states, cities, businesses, investors, & citizens will. https://t.co/DgfUOSWLz9

Healthcare: allow states to cross state lines to get insurance, since so many insureres are bowing out at the state level.

Just saw the credit for a family friend, Chrisrina Hall, on the movie 'Logan'. She works at @Halonprevis. Nice!
