A heartbreaking piece but also so eloquent. Scott’s loss will continue to devastate.
.@joedjoedonnelly reviews Scott Timberg’s posthumous collection, “Boom Times for the End of the World”: "Someday, and for a long time, it will be read on those merits. But that time has yet to come for me, a friend and former colleague." lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Have a gut understanding that’s difficult to verbalize.
Why are Gen-Xers, uniquely among the age groups, so strongly Republican and weakly Democratic? BTW, this new @nytimes poll is not unique in showing this.

Fans of @TheMisreadCity, the paperback version of Beeswing is out this week.

What Jussie Smollett did was dumb as hell. But it’s crazy that he’s gonna spend more time in jail than the family who are mostly to blame for America’s opioid epidemic.🧐

Ron Stringer was an absolute gem — definitely the kindest person I met as a young music journalist. I’m so sad to hear of his passing.

I wish I could send this to the woman I was talking to this past week who said her doctor told her she was healthy so she runs a low risk of contracting Covid. She’s not vaccinated and refuses to get the shot. Hoping #OscarDeLaHoya a brief hospital stay and a full recovery.
Wanted you to hear directly from me that despite being fully vaccinated, I have contracted Covid and am not going to be able to fight next weekend. Preparing for this comeback has been everything to me over the last months, & I want to thank everyone for their tremendous support.

Charlie Watts, who died on Tuesday at 80, was a vital part of the Rolling Stones’ sound, with rhythmic drumming that was as much a part of the Stones’ musical fingerprint as Keith Richards’s sharp-edged guitar or Mick Jagger’s sneering vocals. nyti.ms/3D7n3Rc
