“Song of Rapa Nui” is an inspiring documentary about Mahani Teave, a world-class classical pianist, who gave up her prestigious career to return to her home on Rapa Nui to create a free music and dance school for children. Toki Rapa Nui Art keeps giving. nytimes.com/2021/02/26/art…

Thanks Bari Weiss. "Persuasion is replaced with public shaming. Forgiveness is replaced with punishment. Mercy is replaced with vengeance. Pluralism with conformity; debate with de-platforming; facts with feelings; ideas with identity." deseret.com/indepth/2021/3… via Deseret News (deprecated)

Playing “Walkin' After Midnight” in loving memory of Patsy Cline. On this day, in 1963 at the age of 30, her life on earth was cut short when she died in an airplane crash. Her brief career produced the #1 jukebox hit of all time, “Crazy” (written by Willie Nelson). #PatsyCline

.Alice Cooper: “When I was drinking and drugging, I didn’t know if I was supposed to leave the house with make-up on." After sobriety, his persona stays on the stage and he leads a normal life. "It’s actually a very organized schizophrenia.” #alicecooper thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/1…

Thrifted all through high school. "Thrifting — indeed, the whole secondhand market — is probably going to be one of the biggest fashion phenomena of the 2020s, whether it takes the form of vintage shopping, upcycling or swap meets." Billions! #thrifting. nytimes.com/2021/03/12/sty…

Big fan! “We try to suppress the thought of death, or escape it, or run away from it because we think that’s where we’ll find happiness,” she said. “But it’s actually in facing the darkest realities of life that we find light in them.” Sr. Theresa Aletheia nytimes.com/2021/05/14/us/…

Absolutely nothing startling about an Andy Warhol art piece of an electric chair in Alice Cooper's garage. Strangely fitting. tinyurl.com/ybwtlmh8

“We’ve made a lot of accidentally smart decisions,” Patrick Carney said, “but one of them is to not sign to the label that would’ve given us more money than we’ve ever seen, or even imagined, and signed to a label run out of a Taco Bell in Mississippi.” nytimes.com/2021/05/26/mag…

Watching an NCIS rerun with Pauley Perrette wearing a Psych Ward Sirens t-shirt triggered mega fond memories of interviewing her 15 years ago. Never expected to be a Houston Roller Derby photographer and shoot the Sirens. Loved the swirling notions of her mind. Kind and unpretentious.

thunderstruck.org/crucifixes-gut… My column on the Dropkick Murphys album cover design, a fitting Irish-Catholic tribute to Woody Guthrie ­– a man not known for his church attendance but who viewed Jesus Christ as a hero. Loaded with religious symbolism. #dropkickmurphys
