June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Yesterday in Ellsworth we had an outstanding turnout for the march to protest all that is wrong in America today, standing up to a tyrant and the power grab by billionaires. We need a critical mass to succeed. If you haven’t already, please join us. We can do this. We must do this!

How long will you spend debating your executioner over the quality of the rope?
Either way the noose fits snug around your neck.

Do not beg for civility.

Blue Hill open mic today at 1pm. After last night my voice is kind of rough, but I just have to sing. It helps keep me (relatively) sane in dark times. I know💡! I’ll do some Tom Waits songs… perfect! Come down if you’re around. 🎸

Played music with two friends this evening at the Common Good Soup Kitchen in Southwest Harbor. Great food, beautiful people, all welcome, smiles, community, joy, empathy, simple kindness… the best of what humans can be. I feel grateful and so fortunate. One love.

I’ve been reading Krugman and seeing him on TV a lot these days. This piece is a real shock to my old world view and should at least be considered by every American.
Paul Krugman is Wrong
Why don't liberal pundits understand what's happening?

Cruising home from a great night of playing music, my mind still immersed in a song. Blue lights flashing in rear view mirror. Yep, I was feeling good, my right foot keeping the beat. Trouble is, it was on the accelerator. Officer let me go with a warning. Just want to thank decent police officers.

I am so saddened by the state of humanity today. Humans against humans. Humans against Nature. Atrocities committed across the globe. Why? Will we learn before it’s too late? youtu.be/sm-CxdUGqy4?...

Going out to play a few songs at the Northeast Harbor Coffee House this evening, then over to the Finback in Bar Harbor to play a few more. Wherever you are, get out and hear some music, it’s good for the spirit in these dark times.

I am inspired by this passage from Defoe’s ‘Robinson Crusoe’ whenever I doubt myself and wonder, “how will I ever get from ‘here to there’”. First build the boat, then get in and sail it.

@frunabulox.bsky.social Apparently you’ve been messing around in pedal-depressed resonance and other highly ambient domains. Good on ya! 😁

Drove to Schoodic this afternoon. Spring arrives with frost heaves big enough to bounce my head off the ceiling of my pickup. Music on random. Inca Roads, Zappa’s solo, unique, creative and so expressive. Tells a story like no one else on guitar. Ruth and George not shabby either. Life is good.

Heading to Finback Alehouse in Bar Harbor for open mic tonight. Singing and playing my guitar are my best medicine for coping with this mad world and I love sharing it with anyone who wants to listen. “It just might take a lot of singing and dancing to chase our demons away” - #IndianDrum

Beautiful lunar eclipse tonight. Worth getting up at 3am. There have been 73 lunar eclipses since I was born. Going for 100. 🌘🌑🌒

First post. My core question is: Are we physical beings experiencing consciousness, or are we fundamentally aspects of Consciousness experiencing physicality? The answer to this impacts everything; our relationship with the world around us and how we respond to events in the moment. Thoughts? 🙏
