5 years ago tonight in Asbury Park , one of those special nights at The Stone Pony . Garry Tallent and The Delevantes opening for Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes with a friend sitting in !!
Tennessee Republicans just cut off debate and passed a bill to arm teachers in our schools.
The public chanted “Blood on your hands!” as the Speaker ordered troopers to clear the gallery.
This is what fascism looks like.
After making a name for himself playing bass for pop, rock, and soul acts, Willie Weeks became an in-demand session player on country records by @VGcom, @_KennyRogers, @Wynonna, and more. See his bass (photo by @BobDelevante) at the Museum. Photo of Weeks by Philip Macias.
Moms were dragged out of a TN House hearing by State Troopers.
They were simply sitting quietly in their seats holding signs that said: “1 Kid > All the guns.”
Incredible reporting by @TheTNHoller. https://t.co/1xTESiQdnc
There are no federal officials representing Nashville who support sensible guns laws. Not one.
Not @MarshaBlackburn or @BillHagertyTN or @AndyOgles or @RepMarkGreen or @RepJohnRose.
Those are “our” voices in DC. They offer prayers; but no policies that could stop the carnage.
