A clip from my Warren Haynes interview. I thought the way he articulated the difference between the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band was profound. Such a great way of putting it.

Phish Bassist Mike Gordon Tells Rick Rubin The Real Origin Story Of 'Mike Says No' It is one of the deepest, most persistent bits of Phish fan lore, a piece of fan-generated mythology on par with the Secret Language, or the great "Tarp

Pretty sure this scene in E2 of HBO's The Chair Company may have been the hardest I've laughed at a TV show all year.

you also have to hedge for the trash talk.

there’s a whole younger generation of Philly sports fans experiencing the ole Philly sports doom cycle right now. Just gotta laugh through the tears.

Yeah. Definitely think you spotted some kind of bad labeling. Just to be petty about being correct… 😎

I’m pretty sure those cans are $2.49 and this is just a misprint. I buy the sparkling one often. I love that Mt. Shasta magic water. And I’ve never paid anywhere near that much for it.

Went on a major deep dive into the music catalog of Chuck Prophet this weekend. Wasn’t really all that familiar with his work and caliber of songwriting, but am now fully convinced he’s the California Mark Knopfler.

going through some really old emails for a project, and I found this glorious photo of Bob Weir from the time The Dead played at Penn State in October 2008.

how’s it going over here, y’all good?

The culture war is a lost cause—noble, but futile to expect compassion or dialogue in this climate. The best way to fight brain rot is with brain rot (it’s a vibe), alongside clear, actionable strategies for the left to help people build real wealth and regain power—w/o resorting to Pelosism.
