REVELATION!

I had a great time at the Roth Show last night!

DLR was in great spirits and the band played and sang their asses off. It was inspiring!

“Drop Dead Legs” was once again my favorite song but the whole show was great fun.

@SunGod87 Yeah, Sunil!!!!

[Chris Opperman, PhD @chris_opperman]

@SOKENsquareenix I hope you all have so much fun!!!

@FINALLEVEL Actually, it's great how a lot of the hip-hop legends sampled the music they grew up with and then directly paid all their inspirations actual cash money. Nothing like that in any other genre. Only in hip hop did they take care of their predecessors like that.

[Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY @ffdistantworlds]

Good luck to all our FINAL FANTASY XIV friends who are Dancing Mad (Ultimate) with Kefka today!

Thanks to @SOKENsquareenix and @SquareEnix, we hope you enjoy our orchestral rendition of this @UematsuNobuo classic arranged, conducted, and produced by Arnie Roth for @ffdistantworlds!

@kirbyff14 There used to be a guy hanging off the ledge I think in Idyllshire years ago too. XD

and encouragement since I first met him as a teenager in 1996, for which I am very grateful. Tonight brought back a lot of happy memories.

[Chris Opperman, PhD @chris_opperman]

The SatchVai Band concert at the Beacon Theatre in NYC was one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Steve’s music was the center of my universe for the years I worked for him and it was nice to reconnect with it (and Joe’s music too).

Steve’s always been a great source of inspiration

@FINALLEVEL I've been going to the gym three times a week all year and it hasn't made me any thinner, honestly, but I definitely feel better.

I got the first mixes of the Walt Whitman art songs @Amanda_Achen sang for me yesterday and they're pretty stellar. It's going to be a really good album.

[Chris Opperman, PhD @chris_opperman]

@atgarone @catholic_comedy @MakeWeirdMusic It was fun, I think! I hope you had fun too.
