This is sad. I was at what I believe was the Frames first show in US, opening for @blackfortyseven at Irving Plaza. 6-17-1994. Same night at the Knicks game and OJ chase. Don’t regret missing those - the show was better!
Glen Hansard, frontman of the Frames and Oscar-winning songwriter for the movie 'Once,' has died at 56 following a motorcycle crash in Dublin.

🔒⚽️: I spoke with @RepNellie, whose North Jersey district hosted the World Cup final, about how NJ benefited from the tournament and whether any of her fears of mass ICE raids came to pass.

My dear friend, the late New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. cared deeply about people living with traumatic brain injuries. For more than two decades he led the Congressional Brain Injury Task Force and fought to make sure they weren’t forgotten.
Today, I’m proud the House passed my bipartisan bill to reauthorize critical TBI programs through 2030 and rename our national TBI surveillance program in Bill’s honor. It’s a fitting tribute to the gentleman from Paterson whose advocacy improved so many lives.
Sold out — or held back?
Newly introduced federal legislation, The HOLDBACKS Act targets hidden ticket inventory and misleading scarcity in the primary market, putting new scrutiny on FIFA, Ticketmaster, Live Nation and other major sellers.

Here’s an idea I think can help fans
What if fans actually knew what a concert ticket costs before the sale starts?
What if fans actually knew how many tickets were available for sale before they spent their hard earned money?
Congresswoman Nellie Pou recently introduced the HOLDBACKS Act
What I like about it is it’s helping fans before the first ticket is even sold
Remember when you actually knew what a ticket cost?
We’ve gotten so far away from the simple, basic idea of knowing what a ticket actually costs before the sale even starts.
Fans should know how many tickets are available. They shouldn’t be pressured into buying because they think tickets are almost gone
That’s just a high pressure sales tactic
If the HOLDBACKS Act does what Congresswoman Nellie Pou has publicly described, I think this is the kind of transparency fans need. I look forward to reading the full bill
@RepNellie
Today I recognized my predecessor, former Congressman Bill Pascrell Jr, with his family, friends, and @PeruInTheUSA
Pascrell worked hard to build stronger ties between America, Peru, and the Peruvian American community in #NJ09.
Thank you all for joining me in celebrating a great New Jerseyan and a great American.
