I endorse today’s National Shutdown, but if you’re like me and can’t shut down, I like this list of alternative actions suggested by Bright Black Candle. I also advocate for shopping w/local & small biz.

Yes, I’m playing Tipitina’s tonight for an early show. But please be safe out there!
Nearly 10,000 flights Saturday and Sunday are canceled in the U.S. as a massive winter storm is set to bring cold temperatures, heavy snow and ice.

The bad part about taking an evening nap is that when you wake up at 11 o'clock, you can't go back to sleep all night.

2026 is the 50th anniversary of P-Funk landing the Mothership 🛸. Oct. 27, 1976, is when the 1st ever Mothership landing happened at the Municipal Auditorium, New Orleans. The now-closed auditorium still stands, overlooking Congo Square. I’m planning to commemorate this legendary event in some way. 🤘🏾

PMRC memories. As a rebellious kid, I remember this label was like a badge of honor 😁
Via @boomtownpodcast.bsky.social: 40yrs ago today (1985), Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) agreed to start adding Parental Warning labels to albums. The now standard B&W sticker was intro’d in 1990.

Tonight I went to see ‘Move Ya Body: The Birth of House.’ What I was NOT expecting to see in it was an interview with Captain Sky. That + the filmmaking, factual accuracy, & truth telling are why I so love this documentary. Plus the film fully contextualizes disco culture—a wish come true. 🙌🏾🪩

Congrats to Danny Bedrosian on his 2nd book, ‘Make My Funk the P-Funk: Parliament-Funkadelic’s Meteoric Rise in 1975 from Chocolate City to Mothership Connection.’
It’s a perfect companion to his 2023 book, ‘The Authorized P-Funk Song Reference: Official Canon of Parliament-Funkadelic, 1956-2023.

I don’t hear enough people talking about this.
Allen v. Milligan had me holding out hope despite all signs to the contrary. Louisiana v Calllais really is going to be the death of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, isn’t it? My god.
