You can see him play live today with the Pan Detroit Ensemble.
Happy B-day to Don Was. Our pal from the Motor City! 🎂
I remember 25 years ago when this happened. I actually saw the smoke from the area where the twin towers once stood.
I was actually in NYC. But we met strangers out in the street, helped out and consoled each other in our time of need.
We will never forget.
On Sept. 11, 2001, at 8:46 a.m., Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center. #momentofsilence
I remember receiving a copy of @Nirvana “Nevermind” and reviewing it 35 years ago.
It was “New & Way Cool” at WRCT-FM. But we were thinking, “what’s with this noise?” 🤔
Turned out that new grunge sound from Seattle arrived.
They played their only concert in Pittsburgh:
Over in Jamestown in my home state of New York, the celebration begins.
Listening to all of their albums beginning with “Secrets of the I Ching” this Labor Day weekend. ⏺️
10000 Maniacs celebrates its 45th Anniversary!
Here with Dennis Drew and Steve Gustafson who have remained constant since 1981.
The late Rob Buck formed the band.
Jeff Erickson succeeded Rob after he passed on in 2000. Ben Medina currently plays Rob’s guitar parts.
Got a “Pocket Full of Kryptonite”? ⏺️
Hard to believe it’s been 35 years since our fellow New Yorkers @SpinDoctorsBand debuted with this album. ⏺️
Yes they still play live even today!
Here with @thechrisbarron. Two Princes kneel before you, that’s what we said now.

#OnThisDay in 1991 Spin Doctors released their debut album Pocket Full of Kryptonite - ft. the singles Two Princes & Little Miss Can't Be Wrong.
35 Years and 10 MILLION sales later. The album remains as influential as ever.

From 1989 to 1995 I was in college radio.
First at WRPI-FM Troy behind the scenes. I was only 17.
The first song I helped air was “Luka” by The Lemonheads.
Then to WRCT-FM in 1990, then to WFNP-FM New Paltz where I had my own radio show, and back to WRCT-FM again until 1995.
Patrick Lee retweeted
Happy National Radio Day! Yes you can still hear me on air on special occasions. 📻
Like this one at the WRCT-FM Pittsburgh 75th Anniversary in 2024!

RIP Dave "The Duke" Marsh. An early believer on E Street, and a very early supporter of the Jukes when we really needed it. He was fearless, relentless, arrogant, everything you'd want in a RocknRoll troublemaker. And by the way, a tremendous writer. People know his Bruce and Who books, but his overlooked Louie Louie captured an essential untold part of Rock history and was Dave at his brilliant best. Travel well my friend.
EMF played Pittsburgh live in 1991 when I was a student at Carnegie Mellon University.
It really was an “Unbelievable” live show at Skibo Ballroom. Carter the USM was their opening act.
RIP Derry Brownson

Had dinner with family this week. Here with my nieces Shy and Sami who are already in their 20s.
Always a real treat for me to see them!
Here’s a fun fact about my family.
My first cousin Jimmy Lee was named after @JimmyPage. Yes that @ledzeppelin guitarist!
Jimmy also plays the guitar, too. 🎸
Happy B-day to Dennis Drew of 10000 Maniacs. 🎂
Dennis co-founded the band with the late Rob Buck and Steve Gustafson.
Dennis and Steve have remained constant since 1981. Original singer Natalie Merchant left in 1993 to go solo.
Ireland lost a rare gem. RIP

Before @Myspace, radio was our social network. This new network was where I remember debuting new music exclusively before I brought them over to radio.
It was great that it also connected many music artists with other artists with overlapping fanbases. We should return to that.
Hudson Valley natives like us had Laura Branigan, but the Brits had Bonnie Tyler. RIP
