After her spine-tingling rendition of Happy Birthday, #AliciaKeys kissed legend #CliveDavis tonight at his 90th Birthday gala. The world of music - artists & executives were all at Casa Cipriani to honor the one and only Clive Davis! Truly unforgettable!

#PattiSmith sings “Because the night” then leaves the stage to express her love to #CliveDavis.

#KennyG performs table side to #CliveDavis “That’s what friends are for” while #DionneWarwick sings along from the stage. Wow!

#TakeMeOut the Broadway revival which opened April 4 - is smart, really smart! DO NOT miss this play! It explores homophobia, racism & masculinity in sports. For every minute of the gripping 2 1/2 hrs., between the laughter, you could have heard a pin drop in the Hayes Theater.

How many innocent children have to be killed before our government does something about guns? I can hardly hold from crying. Robb Elementary School - children, parents & teachers, I am sorry and ashamed our country did not protect you.

ELVIS the Baz Luhrmann bio-pic of #ElvisPresley is stunning and #AustinButler portraying The King is nothing short of brilliant. I have seen it three times and it was released a week ago. Do yourself a favor and see it on the big screen! #Elvis

Something Interesting; Today in Palermo, Sicily I saw this exhibit as well as a very large public sculpture (resembling a Richard Serra) which honors the lives taken by the hand of the Mafia. The topic is not clandestine here as one might imagine.

The Opera house where one of the final scenes in Godfather III was filmed. The interior looks the same as it did in 1990 when the film was made. #TheGodfather

Some people have unmatched survival skills & an unparalleled love for living. #JoniMitchell 78, is one of them. After a double brain aneurysm she had to learn everything (singing & playing the guitar) again. Here she is over the weekend-have a listen. youtu.be/CwN0dtTYcvs

One of the worlds great innovators has passed on. He was a genius. He pushed form to a greater level by being the top of the class student of the human form. He invented new fabrics & he made gorgeous clothes. He was the beautiful, Mr. Miyake! Rest In Peace! #Isseymiyake

The really bad person is rare, truly rare, but we live in a nation with many who wear the hat of evil, the villains, the hateful, the dangerous, the really bad. #DonaldTrump #KevinMcCarthy #LaurenBoebert #MarjorieTaylorGreene #MattGaetz #PaulGosar #AlexJones #SteveBannon

I would support Adam Kinzinger for president! #adamkinzinger

Anyone, especially an elected official who says, "defund the #FBI", is ignorant to the agencies important responsibilities. The FBI has a wide, almost endless purview supporting our safety. Elected's #JimJordan #LaurenBoebert #MarjorieTaylorGreene are dangerous to democracy.

America is at a place where we need to fear for our freedom, safety & our lives. For a time the word "fear" was used dramatically with no substance to back it up. Today the nightmare is real. The epidemic of religious zealots is scary. They are angry, unwavering and multiplying.

I always liked this picture...the color, beauty and dignity overflowing.

I am lucky to call this home.

VOTE YES ON I & NO ON J VOTE YES ON I & NO ON J VOTE YES ON I & NO ON J

Leaving behind an enormous orb of unmatched sound, the great Wayne has left us. A warm embrace to his wife Caroline and a noble salute to the genius sax-man: for those of us left on earth, we are blessed to have known you! #WayneShorter #MilesDavis
