THE RIVER — first-ever live performance. September 21, 1979 — Madison Square Garden, NYC. The audience didn’t know this song. The album wouldn’t arrive for another year. That night at No Nukes, Bruce Springsteen introduced The River to the world for the very first time. A song that would become one of his defining works — born onstage that night. #BruceSpringsteen #TheRiver #NoNukes

I know it has only been a few hours since I've become a full European, but man... Already, this afternoon I went to a crowded nude beach in the south of France at 10 a.m., chain-smoking a cigarette I lit with mild contempt, drinking cheap unlabeled red wine straight from the bottle, tearing into a baguette I refuse to put down, and judging every American who still thinks two weeks of vacation is generous. Now, I need a 35-hour work week, a six-week August shutdown of the entire country, a labor strike over the temperature of my espresso, a Vespa I look too good on, a tiny car I park with hostility, a cheese course before dessert, a scarf I wear even when it’s 28 degrees, dogs in the restaurant, four hours at a café doing absolutely nothing, and a full existential crisis about whether life has meaning if the wine isn’t French. This evening I started to kiss strangers on both cheeks, treat slow service as a human right, and act like work-life balance is a religion. Still Canadian enough to apologize for all of this. Sorry. Eh?

I can’t wait for the day I decide to share “my truths.” The only difference? Mine will come with facts, receipts, and the actual truth. For now, I’ll simply say this: a lot of people have become far too comfortable speaking publicly while relying on my silence. Enjoy it while it lasts. There are plenty of 💣 with plenty of names attached. When the time is right, everything will speak for itself. That is all.

"I can’t say that I was a big Rush fan before. But I’m a Rush fan now!" Negro League Museum President Bob Kendrick. "The Geddy Lee Collection." "Baseball was in my bones long before music started to seriously divert my attention." Geddy Lee. Geddy Lee donated over 600 baseballs autographed by black stars, including Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Josh Gibson to the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City. "Over many decades, Geddy Lee has filled his office with baseball treasures. He has a a 1917 Chicago White Sox ball signed by Shoeless Joe Jackson, a 1942 Negro Leagues ball signed by Josh Gibson, and a Mickey Mantle bat that’s been traced back to the 1960 World Series. Lee also has a ball signed by The Beatles and four signed by John F. Kennedy. It is a collection of Rock and Roll excess, but also of passion and stewardship." "Baseballs? Nobody owns them. They’re like houses. You take care of them for a while, and then they move on to the next person, the next custodian." Geddy Lee.

“Today, Elwood and I lost a great friend and collaborator, and the world lost one of the most naturally innovative drummers and a great and true son of Texas. His signature backbeat was key to keeping ZZ on top.” - Billy F Gibbons

It is with great sadness that I share that my father, Don Duguid, passed away peacefully last evening at the age of 90. While today is a difficult day for our family, we are also reflecting on his long and extraordinary life. He leaves an enduring legacy in the sport of curling as a two-time world curling champion and long-time broadcaster. He is survived by his beloved wife, Barb, along with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Our family is deeply grateful for the many messages, prayers, and expressions of concern that have been shared over the past weeks. Your support and thoughtfulness have meant more than you know. A special thank you to the dedicated physicians, nurses, and staff at Grace Hospital for the compassionate care they provided to Dad and our family. We will miss him dearly and are grateful for the life he lived and the legacy he leaves behind.

For the first time since 1999, the Vancouver Canucks will select third overall!
