My favorite quote comes at the end: "It used to be nice when I didn't know my neighbor next door was a dummy."
Hard agree (speaking metaphorically -- my literal next door neighbors are all very nice, and all very pro-democracy, even when it means our preferred candidates lose).
I went to swing county in PA to see how the current political climate has changed the way people see their neighbors, their local government, and their country.

It’s so weird how so many voters who are over January 6th can’t move past the Union victory in the Civil War.
When I was a kid, it felt like John Amos was in EVERYTHING. Sometimes he was lovable, sometimes he was frightening, oftentimes he was both at once.
RIP to a great.
Incredibly sad to hear of the passing of John Amos. In 2015, I was lucky enough to spend an hour on the phone with him talking about his career, from his work as a writer on Leslie Uggams' variety show to MTM and Roots to Good Times. What a life...

Well, this is surprising: 35 years after signing with Warners, they just deposited the first royalty check Too Much Joy has ever received from them into our band bank account.
We're still >$300K unrecouped, but as of July, 2022, they now pay unrecouped artists signed before 2000

Weird stuff can happen on any tour, but something about Wonderlick house shows makes them almost guaranteed: facebook.com/share/p/o9efwXk…

I'm a bad dad who never remembers my children's exact birthdays. Thanks for remembering this one for me, @mariaemma16. And thanks to the art director who figured out a way to achieve our vision for the cover. Back before AI, you had to do this stuff with actual vans and cliffs.

In honor of Joe Strummer's birthday, here's a playlist of all Too Much Joy/Wonderlick covers by or songs about the man (and yes, "Police on My Back" counts as a Joe Strummer cover, even though he didn't write it).

Talked to the guys from the Abandoned Albums podcast for a good 90 minutes. It was fun:
