I’ll make a hopefully more coherent post about the Rhode Island Folk Fest tomorrow but it was a blast. I’m exhausted and we’re not too far from home. Thanks to all who came out!

I talked with Ged Babey for Louder Than War, we had a great back and forth about bangs, the Raincoats and Patti Smith...writing songs and making records. Ged knows how to get a rise out of people and I appreciate that! louderthanwar.com/cups-of-tea-ar…

Tonight at 6pm eastern I am playing the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC and it is being live streamed. You can tune in here: kennedy-center.org/whats-on/mille…

Eric Adams stole TEN MILLION DOLLARS from New York City public funds while the cops he installed to harass subway riders shot four people over a $3 fare.

All the love in world to national touring acts that save room on their show lineups for local openers. It’s extra work, it’s extra logistics, but it’s also incredibly kind and does so much to support DIY music and local scenes. It’s paying it forward in the truest sense.

The Washington Post is the paper which broke Watergate. It won a Pulitzer for coverage of January 6th. For the Washington Post to refuse to endorse a candidate because it fears retribution from Trump is an enormous flashing red sign that the country is on the brink of fascism.

The Letter to the Editor that the Baltimore Sun won't publish:

lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.

I’m going over to “the other place”…same handle. I won’t delete this to prevent imitators. See ya over there.
