@historyinmemes Milton Nascimento! One of the greatest musicians of all time.

@MaineMillennial Love seeing your d20 and the polyhedral dice. I’m in the midst of a 3 year long D&D 5e campaign with other public media nerds from around the country. It got me through the pandemic. That and my chonky Golden Retriever, Luke.

@DougJBalloon Now I have that Jack Wagner song in my head. The 80’s soap opera and tie-in music references make me smile. Thank you!

@MainePublic Come work on my team @ Maine Public! It’s a fantastic place to work.

@JohnJHarwood Oh how I miss watching Darrell Green, Art Monk and John Riggins play.

@axknickerbocker @daskeyboard @UAudio @Logitech I have both the Apollo and the Das Keyboard model pictured here. The 5QS is hooked up elsewhere. All of these things are built like tanks and using them is a dream.

Maine Public Radio and Television are back up. https://t.co/rICnqf1c3M.

@RadioFreeTom @MaryFahlMusic @TheAtlantic Check out @maryfahlmusic ‘s “the Other Side of Time,” released after she parted ways with OP. It’s still in heavy rotation 30 yrs. later. I thank @heartsofspace / Stephen Hill for introducing OP and Mary’s music through his amazing public radio show when the first OP album hit.

@RadioFreeTom Cat love. That tune, by Pat Metheny is in my top 5 greatest songs of all time. “It’s For You,” with Lyle Mays on piano and synth (RIP, Lyle) and Naná Vasconcelas on voice, percussion. He passed away recently. People: buy this album: “As Falls Witchita, So Falls Witchita Falls.”

All are legendary, including one of my favorite musician/composers, @AntonioDrumsX

[NPR @NPR]

Latinos have been behind the theme songs and soundtracks for some of the most classic movies and TV shows — ever since the early days of Hollywood.

WATCH: This piece, produced by Maine Public News and Digital, is worth the viewing. I’m proud of the work of my team and all involved in this production. Trails are being upgraded to be more accessible. I love hiking and I relish new trails; these folks are doing the work! #maine

[PBS News @NewsHour]

For many people, there are barriers to taking a simple hike because of a disability or difficulty with balance. https://t.co/PtE0r9ZVhD

@marina_affo I do! #earthwindandfire

[Robert Holt @galt]

Peter Falk’s performance in the film Wings of Desire (or Der Hinmel Über Berlin, dir. Wim Wenders in 1987/88) is pivotal. He’s playing himself. My favorite film of all time.

[Ted Gioia @tedgioia]

For Peter Falk’s birthday, just one more thing.

[Robert Holt @galt]

I saw them up here in Portland, Maine and they were amazing. @tonylevin

[Echoes @EchoesRadio]

These guys are monsters live. I saw them a few months ago at @SellersvlleThtr If they come through, definitely check them out.

[Robert Holt @galt]

@TedHope Fantastic question.

@MurielBowser Godfather of Go-Go = Chuck Brown = quintessential DC

[A SLICE OF HISTORY @asIiceofhistory]

David Bowie was a genius artist and a deep thinker.

In 1999, only 6 years after the birth of the worldwide web, Bowie spoke about the "unimaginable" effects of the Internet on society.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Speaker Gingrich's speeches in 1997 were very provocative (as you'd expect) https://t.co/X93sar4GOG
