What fun in London!

The great @sophiegg also relates TTPD to autofiction but in different ways than I did. Excellent read theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

I’ve been giving some early readings from my new book TRAVELING: ON THE PATH OF JONI MITCHELL and people truly seem moved by the way I’ve told this great artist’s story (and my own, of learning her steps). Out in June in the U.S. and U.K. Preorder harpercollins.com/products/trave…

Tomorrow London friends! I’ll be talking Joni

I will be reading from and discussing the new Joni book

you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

This warms my heart, as I love David and have been a Kramer fan since wayyyyy back

Leeds friends please attend!

This is a very thorough, measured review and I’m esp thankful Olivia Horn distinguishes between the album album and the bonus tracks/“extra album”

Cher deserves. Mary J deserves. Dionne deserves. Congrats to the whole class, still waiting for Sinéad and Sade

An unforgettable remembrance

The discourse is making me think about ugly feelings and how people really dislike excessive anything unless it’s framed in certain ways

The funny thing about me + Taylor Swift is that I find her (or anyone’s) cultural omnipresence oppressive and stay away from her tours but always find something intriguing in her albums. Maybe that’s why I’m not exhausted with her right now as other journos seem to be

Well argued

Periodic reminder that joy oladokun is in crocs. also writes songs that could move millions of people, c’mon mainstream give her a chance open.spotify.com/track/7dwszn3b…

How much I was hoping that bonus song with Aimee in the title was an homage. How foolish I was.

This could be about #TTPD but it’s about Rousay’s own album Sentiment which is so good and will blow your mind.

Now’s the time!

“In the devil-may-care catharsis of The Tortured Poets Department, Swift dismantles the top-selling product she has become and reclaims the vulnerable person inside of it.”

I gave The Tortured Poets Department a late-night listen for Vogue Magazine ✍🏼
