@CherylHines I was completely supportive of his candidacy however I am seriously devastated, disappointed and feel that my support of him is disrespected that he is now supporting Trump…
@ElaineAryn I moved to NYC, Hell’s Kitchen in 1984. Been in the LES since 1996. I work a live music show at The Delancey on the LES and NYC is still a fun happening town, definitely not a ghost town in any way. Just ask the 250 people who just showed up for a live show in the depths of NYC

COPIED FROM JOE BECIGNEUL: THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TICK SOME PEOPLE OFF, AND I HOPE IT DOES. BUT I’M GOING TO KEEP ON SHARING IT AND SAYING IT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A SWIFTIE, BUT I AM A HUMAN BEING, A DAD AND, A MONSTROUS FOOTBALL FAN.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW …
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.
thanks for this memory…and believe it or not i actually Do remember taking this photo. though i don’t look too happy about it, do I? Photo shoots were always way less fun for me than doing scenes. In those days people were losing a lotta fingers and hands to cherry bombs and other fireworks which are illegal now, so it was an especially important message in ‘61 or 2.
Happy Birthday to six (and 12) string (& bow) master #JimmyPage!!! 🌹
Here's a shot I took back in the day (when still a puppy) that was featured in #LedZeppelin's first official coffee table book . @LedZeppelin@jimmypage
