Yesterday, I released my Economy for Everyone Agenda. We're going to take back our economy from the billionaires by passing national paid sick days, enshrining the right to organize, and ensuring that if you work 40 hours then you bring home at least $40k a year.

Who knows what major sonic flaw occurs when you place a coincident pair in this position relative to violinist? Don't do this.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons…

To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.
A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.

When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.

This is outrageous.

@elizabethalker.bsky.social I'm enjoying your book, you'll know which page I'm on when I note that I believe the Bach arrangement presented by Bernstein was a Carlos imitation put together by Walter Sear, who rolls the Moog (and tape machine, the actual sound source) out onto the stage.

I recorded Don Alias for Bill Frisell's album, "Unspeakable." That was, as you can imagine, a fantastic session.
