Catherine O’hara was the best off off key singer of the last century. I dont think people realize how hard it is to pretend to suck. Just a huge talent, all around. I hope these two have met up and are being extra stupid together youtu.be/fggXs7oIP7Q?...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
