turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.
Paul McCartney was in German night clubs high on Preludin playing 12 hours straight for hobos and strippers in 1960. 66 years later, he's not only still alive, but eating French fries on internet dating shows. No one has ever done it like him
u gotta be annoying. performance is important in life. dreaming, having a vision, aiming to be something, romanticizing yourself. once you stop trying is over. people become the most mediocre and least whimsical version of themselves when they give up their ideals
I love this movie, I’ve watched it a million times. Cusack has a few of these, unconventional rom-coms it’s ok to like. He’s cool af in this, leading a great cast including a hilariously zany Dan Aykroyd. Dialogue, story, soundtrack, score by Strummer, all top notch. Great film.
Sat at home listening to ‘In My Life’, for no particular reason. Sometimes the sheer all encompassing magnificence of The Beatles just hits you doesn’t it? Something unexplainable and magic and endless consumes you and just for that moment, life couldn’t be better.
I love how McCartney’s debut album is made up of simple songs and lo-fi noodlings and then he just goes “oh well, suppose I better stick an all time great love song on there, and I’ll do one of my mightiest vocals while I’m at it”

RIP Sly. Genius. There will never be another quite like him. So many artists & recordings simply couldn't have existed without Sly paving the way. https://t.co/yzQPgAVYmX
Travel on well SLY STONE 1943-2025, singer, songwriter, musical director, producer, frontman, funkster, pioneer, genius. Thankyou for all the inspiration, for breaking ground so others could follow and for being the sassiest, funkiest Being on planet earth.
so long Johnnie Walker, all across the years ..a defender and gatekeeper of great musical taste .. a cool, kind man who kept the bar high for all of us who loved him ….
When I interviewed Johnnie Walker for my pirates book he told me about that eerie feeling when Radio Caroline died and there was just dead air where music used to be. That's how I feel right now. My memory is full of aether ghosts and you will always be there Johnnie. RIP.
