I have no idea if Cornel West would be a good president, but can you imagine someone in the white house regularly bringing up John Coltrane in negotiations with other world leaders? For me, that would be worth the price of admission (nuclear war lol)

Also the genius of Tina Turner and Ike covering the Beatles or Rolling Stones was like this radical reclaiming of of the art form. It’s as if to say this is what you really wanted to do but just couldn’t. They undo the Elvis Pat Boone Little Richard story with fire.

Watching old Tina Turner videos it’s Ike Turner’s band in those 60’s and early 70’s videos that really set up that monster voice of hers. He was a horrible human being but damn he was a great band leader.

It has been very useful for my mental health to think of every human being with love, grace, and compassion. Just sharing.

Saturday June 10, I'm doing the first performance of my own stuff since moving back to NY. It's at Sunview Luncheonette, with the incomparable M Lamar . I'm playing solo acoustic, and some clean electric. Two new songs, and a bunch of older tunes from across my songbook.

If you are professionally doing something not utterly humiliating and dehumanizing under capitalism count yourself as very lucky.

I love communing with nature as long as I don’t have to leave the city. A winter tree absent of leaves against a grey sky concealing the sun amid concrete and tall buildings is a sight to behold for sure!!
