My son, Julian Alexander Yaffe, died of a seizure early this morning at 15. He was my beautiful boy.

- I wrote an entire book on @jonimitchell that refutes this ridiculous thing Jann is saying, which he is incapable of backing up . Joni could be challenging, she could be tough, she could even ruin your life, but she is as original and deep a thinker as anyone I have ever met.
- The world is falling apart, but @bobdylan just sang "Dance Me to the End of Love." It's not over yet.
- George Harrison, Brainwashed Amy Winehouse, Back to Black Elliott Smith, From a Basement on a Hill Nick Drake, Pink Moon Judee Sill, Heart Food Billie Holiday, Lady in Satin
- I joined Twitter to send this to Andy Partridge:
- My essay on XTC from The Paris Review (theparisreview.org/blog/2018/02/2…) will be reprinted in an anthology on power pop: Go All The Way, edited by Paul Myers and S. W. Lauden. I have to credit all the generous readers who kept this alive on Twitter, especially, of course, @xtcfans.
- Replying to @ohJuliatweetsAnything from This is Spinal Tap? Fiona Apple, “Dull Tool” from This is 40?
- Sharing passions is what it should all be about, and I share mine for @suzyv in the latest @AirMailWeekly.
