Really Biscuit? This is kind of a private moment.

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

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

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.

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

Once upon a time hits from this album were overplayed. Listen closer. Martin Barres's guitar is amazing. Ian Anderson wrote lyrics capturing hypocrisy of a system we still live in today. Wonder'ing Aloud is a masterpiece in the simplest of forms. We have not progressed in 50 years. God save us all.

Really excited to have in hand the latest issue of New Square from the Sancho Panza Literary Society. I am honored that they have included my poem Solitude of Two, which I feel is one of my strongest works to date, amongst so many great authors. #poetry #lovepoems

Happy #internationalcatday! Looking for just the right way to celebrate? Pick up a copy of my book of poems with #cats, Could Have Gotten a Cat. Mostly happy, a few sad, some just plain weird. You won't regret it and neither will the cats you read them to. #catsofbluesky #poetry a.co/d/bEGhk2x

Fate follows me
In #parallel but slightly behind
I take to the ocean
Fate is not deterred
I sail toward the horizon
I see the earth is flat
I steer for an island on the edge
Summer home of a giant cat
She spends her free time
Casually knocking wayward travelers
Off the edge of the world

I rarely find anything decent at Goodwill but this is a great pickup. Sound quality rough but her tremendous song writing talent shines through. Production very late 60s but not overdone and really isn't dated. And a beautiful voice is a beautiful voice no matter what the producers overlay it with.

Happy New Year! Much sucked in 2024 but on a personal note I can't complain. I'm with the woman I love, published a book and many other poems, and have a roof over my head and a cat to keep me warm. I wish peace & tranquility to all. Now playing: the masterpiece known in polite company as NFR.

I'll call this a Christmas album, it is a very spiritual album. Has the tracks Jesus Was a Crossmaker and Enchanted Sky Machines. And of course The Kiss, one of the most beautiful songs every written. A talent who died tragically and too young.

Wondering aloud. Replaced my childhood copy. After 45 years it was rough. I'd set it aside for years, played it so much it had become almost cliché. Rediscovered it recently. The deep cuts are amazing. The singles superb. Ian Anderson emerges as a poet. Martin Barre shines on guitar. It's wonderful

A calm moment in the storm. A friend out in the madness. A poet to sooth the heart and touch the soul. Someone to dance a little closer with tonight.

Recently added to almost complete my Lana Del Rey discography. While nothing may equal the masterpiece that is NFR I have yet to be disappointed by any of her albums.

At dusk I hang the picture you took
I don't know how it will look
In the morning sun
But at dusk it has a glow
As our faces did from the cold
You and I slowly heading #home
We walk with backs turned
She is hunched from age
Me from the toll
She allows the worries to fade
I cannot let them go

A Thanksgiving Morning Deep Listen. Come join me on the porch. We can play a mellow tune and raise our voices in sweet harmonies.

A Snowy Night Deep Listen. My very first Emmylou Harris album, from 1995. Produced by Daniel Lanois, this is a beautiful powerful tour de force. It touches my heart and stirs my soul in perfect ways. #EmmylouHarris #music #musicians #vinylrecords
