"I always hesitate to bring my political beliefs into this space. I don’t think my listeners would expect that from me and some of you will find it disappointing: not what you were looking for... "

VOTE ‘24
"There are places in the world where people risk their lives to go to the polls. Here in the US, 50% of eligible voters can’t be bothered. There are frequent local elections wherever you are, but these big national elections happen every two years." [1/5] Image
"We should make it as easy as possible to cast votes. It is the life blood of any democracy & our duty as citizens. But there are people working hard to find ways to restrict participation, to keep people away from the polls. They should be ashamed of themselves." [2/5]
"This is a really important election - they all are, but this one especially so with so much at stake. Can you feel it, America? Can you feel what it is we need to do? How important it is right now? I sure do." [3/5]

[2/5] People say he was a lord of life and that’s true: somewhere between Falstaff and the pirate, Jean Laffite. But to me, my friend Jimmy Buffet was a real example of a man: no puffed up defensive macho bullshit, but a model of how to enjoy the great gift of being alive.
[3/5] And that’s what he shared so generously with us: a positive enthusiasm at being here. That so few of us knew how ill he was is essential Jimmy Buffett: he had no intention of burdening us with his illness.

[1/10] I remember seeing @ItsTonyBennett on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. He was basically explaining what his job was to the children who were the show's audience. It was a straight-ahead presentation of a working jazz musician, a description of himself that was simple and honest. Image
@itstonybennett [2/10] Tony was such a bright light in our world and the longevity of his career gave him a depth, a gravitas that tied together two main generations of contemporary, popular music, Frank Sinatra to Stevie Wonder.
@itstonybennett [3/10] Our baby boom generation turned away from our parents' music: Sinatra and the Las Vegas Rat Pack ethos, Big Band swing and Broadway.
