"It's Alright to Cry" really hit me as a kid, watching Free To Be You And Me in school.

But did you know that football star Rosey Grier also wrote a book called "Needlepoint for Men" and wrestled the gun away from RFK assassin Sirhan Sirhan?

THREAD on Rosey Grier incoming... To see this giant man, who sacked quarterbacks ferociously, playing guitar and singing "it's alright to feel things, though the feelings may be strange" - ran counter to every version of masculinity I knew other than Fred Rogers.

Crappy night in Huber Heights Ohio. We’ve never played here and for some reason they had us headlining an amphitheater on a Tuesday. When our touring partners, the Wood Brothers, hit the stage at 8pm it was 94 degrees out but felt like 103 with the spiking humidity.

1/12 We had no one on our guest list. One fan who’d bought tickets and had recently been injured had messaged us asking for VIP placement since he was wheelchair bound, and I obliged. Otherwise we don’t know anyone in the greater Dayton area.

2/12

I have a Bob Saget story to share.

I never really met him. But in 2007 Guster was playing at the Boston Opera House. We noticed that Saget was performing a sold out show at the Orpheum down the street, and we thought it’d be funny to invite him to appear on stage with us... ..in some capacity. We reached out to his management to ask if he’d burst through a Bob Saget banner during our encore.

They told us to go ahead and make the banner. It was really homespun...
