    Happy birthday to Vernon Reid @vurnt22 born on this day in 1958 — guitarist, songwriter, and co-founder of Living Colour. Blazing fast, wildly inventive, and unafraid to cross genres, Reid fused rock, funk, metal, and jazz into a style all his own.

    Brian Wilson survived a shocking amount of abuse at the hands of his father, Murray. Monstrous in a way that made. Joe Jackson seem an avatar of benevolence . To create such love & beauty, in spite of it, was a miracle. Michael & Brian paid a heavy price for the joy they brought

    When I was ten, I was obsessed with this song and looked up all the historical figures it mentions in the encyclopedia. And then I grew up to get a PhD in political anthropology and study dictatorships.

    Edward Van Halen was NOT beloved by millions because he was the Best Guitarist. EVH was beloved because he embodied the pure Joy Of Living THROUGH playing the guitar. He had FUN. There are a LOT of Great Guitarists. I have NEVER seen anyone happier doing it. And neither have you

    Jimi Hendrix was NEVER a heroin addict. He literally choked on his own vomit having taken prescription barbiturate sleeping pills supplied by Monika Danneman. He was suffering stress & insomnia. Tragic misadventure. Stop spreading misinformation.

    Ozzy Osborne. Black Sabbath. Broke EVERY rule. Especially their own. Ozzy Osborne was Larger Than Life in ways that defy mere description. Feared. Beloved. Revered Metal began with Him. As well as its ensuing Panic. He changed EVERYTHING. Farewell To The The King ! 👑 🖤 🌹

    What’s amazing to me is how gently the Buffalo suspect was handled after his apprehension. No knee on his neck for a fake $20 for him. No rough rides in the back of the van. No choke holds for loosies. I wonder if he got the Dylan Roof Blue Plate Burger 🍔 Special too. #Buffalo
