Super thrilled to be moderating a book signing-Q&A w/@roberthilburn Oct. 21 at 7:30 in Beverly Hills about “A Few Words in Defense of Our Country: The Biography of @RandyNewman.” Special guest Bernie Taupin! Join us if you can.

I’ve been a staunch admirer of @mindysmithmusic since I first heard her two decades ago, and very excited she’s just released her first new studio album in a dozen years, “Quiet Town.” It’s characteristically beautiful—check it out.

[Mindy Smith @mindysmithmusic]

My new album, Quiet Town is out today, and I am so excited. Thank you all sincerely for always being a “bridge” for me.

@MissMargoPrice Lovely photo @MissMargoPrice!!

@roberthilburn @RandyNewman Very much looking forward to it!

[Mindy Smith @mindysmithmusic]

Big HUGE thank you to @amazonmusic for adding my new song, “QuietTown” to this amazing playlist #freshfolkandamericana BIG love, Mindy!

@AdamKinzinger And the exquisite response…

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

He’s been busy.

@StevieVanZandt A masterpiece of songwriting and joy-infused performance. And, as you say @StevieVanZandt, astoundingly effortless.

@EricIdle Here in L.A., “Rutlemania” was every bit as wonderfully, surreally insane as you could ever hope—and then some.

Hey @jaketapper: You said if your job depended on you riding a bicycle and your approval rating was dropping, you’d get on a bike and ride. How about asking “What does riding a bike have to do with reporting the news?” What part of governing a nation depends on debating on TV?

@DieterRuehle Loved hearing #AkiraIfukube’s classic “Godzilla” theme last night when @ShoheiOhtani came to bat! Another brilliant @DieterRuehle choice!!

[randylewis2 @RandyLewis2]

Caught up this week with the thoroughly rewarding documentary “@WilliamShatner: You Can Call Me Bill.” A lot of camp fun and classic TV/movie clips, for sure, but also deeply
profound at times. Worth seeing while it’s still in theaters. https://t.co/aeGKsKKQIi

@AnaGasteyer Greetings Ana! Randy Lewis, LA Times (now retired) here. I’m in NYC for a couple of days, see you have a show tonight so I’m coming down. Looking forward to it! Maybe say hello? 😊😊

[randylewis2 @RandyLewis2]

And a very beautiful Wednesday to you, wherever you may be. @Dodgers @TheVinScully

[Los Angeles Dodgers @Dodgers]

A rainbow over Dodger Stadium for Vin’s birthday. 🥹

[Los Angeles Dodgers @Dodgers]

That's three sweeps in a row and 11 straight wins!

[Independent Shakespeare Co. @Indie_Shakes]

What mischief do these fairies have in store 👀🤔 find out when performances return tomorrow night! And don't forget to bring your dancin' shoes. Our house band - made up of fairies and mortals alike - rocks out with a nightly intermission dance party!

@jarthur47 Mine was one. Canceled after 50+ years as a subscriber on the 1-2 punch of destruction of sports + 25% subscription price increase. Zero effort or incentive to keep me on board. Not even a pop-up “Are you sure?” Pretty sad. @latimes seems to place no value on subscriber loyalty.

[randylewis2 @RandyLewis2]

Love this. Go @Dodgers. Go @taylorswift13, and welcome (back) to L.A. ❤️❤️❤️

[Los Angeles Dodgers @Dodgers]

Favorite Taylor Swift song (Dodgers' Version).

[randylewis2 @RandyLewis2]

Could not agree more. John once said he’s didn’t go in much for awards, but that he hoped to make the @RockHall of Fame because it would place him there with his dear friend, @sunrecords founder #SamPhillips. Let’s give John his wish.

[Robert Hilburn @roberthilburn]

In our outrage that Sinead O'Connor and Gram Parsons aren't in the Rock Hall of Fame, it reminds me of another horrible omission: JOHN PRINE. I fell so in love with John's first album that I listened to it five times in a row. and the songs still stick with me. #johnprine

[randylewis2 @RandyLewis2]

Catch it if you can L.A theater-goers: @IndyShakes’ chillingly topical production of “Julius Caesar” running through Sunday July 30 in Griffith Park. Terrific cast from top to bottom. #IndyShakes #ShakespeareSetFree
