Villaraigosa looked at my father and declared“Of course not!” Never a dull moment with my father.

As we were leaving to go to a party we saw Antonio Villaraigosa entering the Governors Ball. My dad yelled out to him in his gruff voice. “Antonio! How the Hell are you. “ that was met with a “Hi, Ed.” To which my father said. “You look great. Have you had some work done?”

If you look at the body language. It’s definitely the other way around. Vance and Trump are playing to the cameras. Zelenskyy is besieged

Time will tell whether or not they were successful. If they are successful you will see concessions from Zelenskyy and Russia taking some land. Hard to watch. To see a man/leader that has given his country everything through a long war that he didn’t start be put to the screws.

Congratulations to the surviving members of Joy Division and New Order on their well-deserved induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. @joydivision @neworder

Here’s 18-year-old me, alongside Nick Geber, Randy Ralston, and Steve Weisburd, doing our best to channel that inspiration. We were just kids—half the band was still in high school.

Though their career was brief, their influence has been immeasurable, inspiring countless bands, including The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, U2, Interpol, The Editors, and many more. Insect Idol proudly counted Joy Division among our biggest influences.

To me, Joy Division reshaped the landscape of punk, proving it could be something bigger, darker, and more profound.
