Dumb is the new smart.

@PaisleyPark All of them, but my own awareness started with the release of Dirty Mind. That was such a mindblower in the face of everything else that was out at the time. I was lucky to be working at WBCN Boston, we had the smarts to put that song and HEAD in heavy rotation.

@SidFudd I had a couple of his books, “Timid Soul” collections, growing up. Genius.

@RachelBrods Fabulous, as ever.

@yokoono As usual Yoko, you are so right. ❤️

@TheDickCavett Thank you for reminding me of this one, Dick. All of Lewis's philosophical writings are beyond brilliant, and a joy to read. He was a Christian who transcended the notion of any one religious affiliation. People of any faith can get a lot from his work.

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@SidFudd Awww.

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@buddy_runyan @SidFudd My jaw is dropped.

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@MrTeller Keep on Keeping On, good sir. The world needs people like you. Actually, you’re the only one I know of EXACTLY like you, so, yeah. Even more reason to keep on keeping on. ❤️

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@SidFudd @tmbg I want to personally thank you and The Team for your constant hard work behind the scenes that is making this possible. Without your relentless effort, we would not be here. Most likely, we’d be over there somewhere, by the sock drawer, or maybe in the foyer.

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@bazilisk It will get easier. Take it from one who knows. Keep on keeping on!!! ❤️❤️❤️

@buddy_runyan Where do I sign up?

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@bazilisk @whynotanna I’m nuts for Barry. It’s unusual indeed, and contains truisms and hilarity regarding the world of showbiz I’ve never seen anywhere else.
Another HBO show I’ve been digging is The Baby, from Australia. Also very dark and unusual, but surprising and weirdly warm.

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@ProvoRen @DEVO @cruelworldfest They look, dare I say it, HAPPY!

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@KrisBryant2014 Screaming Beavers is a great name for a band.

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@AlGiordano I wonder if he’s any relation to the Eastchester Albaneses. They were into politics, too.

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@SidFudd Fuck Tony Robbins.

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@EricIdle Good one, Eric. Produced by Sir George Martin, before he worked with the Fabs.
I try to hep folks the original How Sweet To Be An Idiot album by our late friend @NeilInnes. In my eyes, it's as great as Abbey Road by The Beatles. Seriously.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! Though it really feels more like #4380Days. #MyTwitterAnniversary

@buddy_runyan @theJefbot Ah here he is @_Raymond_Scott_

[Bill Kates @soundgenius]

@buddy_runyan I’m 99% semi-certain that that sounder is Raymond Scott’s work. @theJefbot or Stanley Warnow (is he on Twitter?) should know…
