I’ve been a staunch admirer of @mindysmithmusic since I first heard her two decades ago, and very excited she’s just released her first new studio album in a dozen years, “Quiet Town.” It’s characteristically beautiful—check it out.
My new album, Quiet Town is out today, and I am so excited. Thank you all sincerely for always being a “bridge” for me.

Big HUGE thank you to @amazonmusic for adding my new song, “QuietTown” to this amazing playlist #freshfolkandamericana BIG love, Mindy!
Hey @jaketapper: You said if your job depended on you riding a bicycle and your approval rating was dropping, you’d get on a bike and ride. How about asking “What does riding a bike have to do with reporting the news?” What part of governing a nation depends on debating on TV?
Caught up this week with the thoroughly rewarding documentary “@WilliamShatner: You Can Call Me Bill.” A lot of camp fun and classic TV/movie clips, for sure, but also deeply
profound at times. Worth seeing while it’s still in theaters. imdb.com/title/tt21190556/ – at Los Angeles, CA
And a very beautiful Wednesday to you, wherever you may be. @Dodgers @TheVinScully – at Los Angeles, CA

Love this. Go @Dodgers. Go @taylorswift13, and welcome (back) to L.A. ❤️❤️❤️
Could not agree more. John once said he’s didn’t go in much for awards, but that he hoped to make the @RockHall of Fame because it would place him there with his dear friend, @sunrecords founder #SamPhillips. Let’s give John his wish. – at Los Angeles, CA
In our outrage that Sinead O'Connor and Gram Parsons aren't in the Rock Hall of Fame, it reminds me of another horrible omission: JOHN PRINE. I fell so in love with John's first album that I listened to it five times in a row. and the songs still stick with me. #johnprine
Catch it if you can L.A theater-goers: @IndyShakes’ chillingly topical production of “Julius Caesar” running through Sunday July 30 in Griffith Park. Terrific cast from top to bottom. #IndyShakes #ShakespeareSetFree – at Los Angeles, CA

Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never fade.
You said it John. @jarthur47. – at Los Angeles, CA
These people fondly remembering Sam #Zell and the "twinkle in his eyes" must have never dealt with him. Probably one of the worst human beings I have ever met.
I don’t know if @CNN does, but the @FederalElectionsComm certainly better. – at Pasadena, CA
RIP @GordonLightfoot, the esteemed singer-songwriter of whom @BobDylan once said, “Every time I hear a song of his, it’s like I wish it would last forever.” Amen to that. #gordonlightfoot #ifyoucouldreadmymind latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
My next band will be called Fistful of Coupons. Thanks David! @Wildaboutmusic – at Los Angeles, CA
My wife & I are saying our fond farewell to @BedBathBeyond with broken hearts & a fistful of coupons!

If I were a Veteran, and I saw the GOP budget cuts for Veterans, I would never vote Republican ever again:
- 22% cuts to the VA budget
- Housing cuts to 50,000 Veterans
- Cuts to food assistance for Vets
- No more job training for unhoused Veterans
They put their lives on the line for America and THIS is how the GOP treats them? Disgraceful.
PASS IT ON.
You’ll always have a blue check in my heart @TheMickyDolenz1! 😊😊😊 – at Los Angeles, CA
