We knew. Then Mark Burnett made him a TV star and the gullible rubes knew only that version of Trump. And now we are here.

#AceFrehley inspired countless famous players who still cite him as a foundational influence. What he delivered in KISS — those riffs. The ones you know by heart and sing along to, that are etched into your memory, and that anchored some of the band’s best songs. Farewell, Ace. You left a huge mark.

If you say you love #OzzyOsbourne but don’t know No More Tears, then you don’t know #Ozzy. This wasn’t a comeback; but a resurrection. Every track is gold on this masterpiece. If you’ve never heard it front to back, tonight’s the night. RIP to the Prince Of Darkness. Loved by many, matched by none.

I wrote this off the cuff when the #Springsteen v. Trump fight started blowing up, & originally just posted it on FB. Decided to give it a home on my website too. It’s about how music is never apolitical & never will be. Give it a read if you're into that. joshvalentine.net/songs-are-never-neutral

A canon of songs never matched, a legacy never forsaken, fans never resented, and a community that will never die. Happy 60th anniversary to the #GratefulDead, who played their very first show as The Warlocks on this day, in 1965. 🧸🌉💀🌹 #GD60

Imagine hanging #Phish’s prop in your front entrance for decades, nominating them, they win the 2025 Fan Vote by an overwhelming majority, and then they still don't get inducted.
