Today is the 60th anniversary of ground breaking album Rubber Soul. Also today, this rubber soul broke upon the ground. Coincidence? I think not.

I won't judge on your hair your weight
Your clothes color sexual tastes
I won't judge if you roam the streets
With tattered clothes and broken heart
I will judge on your actions taken
When shadows of evil blot the sun
What really #matters is your character
When there is a call to arms

I measure my health not in heartbeats at rest
But how fast it races when I see your face
I measure my health not in sit-ups per minute
But in how long I can sit silently with you in my arms
I measure my health not in how long I will live
But in how much of my life can be given to you

Preparing for some Indian food as part of an unconventional Thanksgiving. This album by an obscure Scottish band has become a favorite. One of only 2 they released, it's a mix of folk and rock with 21st century sensibilities. Lead singers voice has a haunting resemblance to Sandy Denny. 2009.

I say come to me son
In your eyes I see a #reflection
Not of what I am now
But what you remember me as
Serving as a reminder of times forgotten
You are #learning to adjust
Moving forward as I move back
You say come to me mother
I care not what you have become
As long as I can hold you close

51 years ago Nick Drake died by suicide. He was enigmatic reclusive and had severe depression. He recorded 3 albums before retreating from public life. They sold poorly during his life and one can only wonder if had he achieved the success while alive he has since things might have been different

Mother said when to be home
Life #timed by bedtime
Leaving for school
Waiting for punishment to begin
Slow click of the second’s hand
Never clock watching at 3AM
Dreading the nightmare I knew would come
Measuring an hour with mother
That she would not remember
Her time sliding to the end

Fog doesn't lift
Course correction not #relevant
Tunnel thoughts
The path goes just one way
I don’t know what to say
Watching you slip away
Into mists of words that won't come out
Thoughts elude, slip away
Sun breaks through for a moment
Then settles to the ground
Drops of mist, mental decay

Escape the cage that’s
Erected around your soul
By one who claimed to love
Let not your existence remain
A silent tale of terror
Screams only heard on the inside
Your heart unseen
Unleash your voice to echo
In halls that once were dreams
Destroy it that holds you in its teeth

3 years ago this weekend I had the honor to have dinner with @thekatemulgrew.bsky.social. She'd come to Bloomington to see the statue of Captain Janeway that I and a dedicated team had designed, financed and erected. I can attest that Kate was genuine, funny, and a joy to spend time with. #startrek

You I can fight
An enemy known
If I still have the energy
A lifetime spent
Battling demons’ unseen
You come for me in light
Masked minions who bleed
I prefer this over the shadows
That stalked my night
You threaten to take me whole
They drained my will to live
Bit by bit

I know you loved me once
More than a passing fancy
Less than a gateway to a different time and space
I don’t want you to suffer
I loved you too
But I do wish
As I sit with my dog and my whiskey
That my face hovers on the edge of your life
Telling you I am the one that got away

Boygenius. In their solo careers they were constantly encouraged to collaborate with men because the men were such a boy geniuses. Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus. In college a roommate pointed out that my album collection was virtually all men. He was right. I've come a long way Tony.

Just played an album I have not heard in 40 years. It has a truly haunting song about Anne Frank. How have we forgotten? How is it that some think that the Diary of Anne Frank is fake news? How have we gotten to where we are today? No Kings! Never Forget! Never Again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSUf...

In the midnight reading light dust swirls
Motions of a lone dancer with a tale to tell
Particles flaked from bark that coats your arid heart
Every time I feel it beat
A little more is sent spinning into the air
I inhale all I can to help me sleep
The only way I can hold a part of you

This cat's tired of your shit
I'm no photo prop
I refuse to be trotted out
To your wine soaked friends
Playing fake witchy games
Dressed like Stevie Nicks
I won’t summon an #unearthly spirit
Just for your amusement
But push me I’ll conjure one for mine
I'll bring on a demon to eat your face

Children bounce when hitting the ground
Held together with rubber bands and chewing gum
Traumas faced down
Buried beneath smiles and trading cards
Time dries out the ties that bind
Elastic dreams becoming broken seams
Wisdom the illusion of age
Hard earth waiting to greet you again
