There are few places I love in the world more than the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. I last visited it last year & reminds me of the beauty in this world. Walking around that museum you begin to realize how much his art has influenced the world. During times like these, find art that movies you.

I’m still processing SINNERS. It’s a work of art that is possibly too big & bold for one movie but it moves at such a clip that it doesn’t matter. We need more original movies like this out of Hollywood that swings for the fences & drives 3 runs in. #FilmSky #sinners

Tonight’s movie #Sinners #filmsky

THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND is still playing in select theaters this weekend. I can’t think of any film currently playing that will warm your heart more. #Filmsky

Monday night was a great night. Bob Dylan played South Bend, Indiana & delivered a succinct & invigorating 17 song set. Thankful he’s still here doing his thing. #BobDylan

He could have just paid everyone working for him a livable wage.

I went to see THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND today simply because a friend came out of it glowing. I came out glowing as well. Simple stories made with a lot of skill, humor & heart are rare these days. It’s a movie people will stream 6-months from now & wonder why they didn’t see it in theaters.

This is a rather fascinating interview & how younger generations deal with those that have come before & celebrity in general. ew.com/quinta-bruns...

There is very little in this world as good as this 1975 performance of “Tangled Up in Blue” by Bob Dylan. Taken from the Rolling Thunder Review tour. #musicsaves youtu.be/YwSZvHqf9qM?...

I’m exhausted from taking my daughter to a comic-con convention today, but to see her find a bunch of art she wanted is worth it all. Find the joy you need during this time. It will save you.

Sometimes you need to be reminded that there is a big world out there & music is often what ushers me into that next room. Thanks Jack White for bringing bluesy guitar rock to my soul last night.

Jack White is so damn good at what he does. He roared tonight at the Salt Shed in Chicago, delivery a bluesy & blistering 100-minute set that closed with “Seven Nation Army”. #JackWhite #concert #musicsaves

Our government is being run by the worst people you knew in junior high.

One day when red states wake up & realize their representatives don’t work for them or their interests in any way, then this country will see great change. Until then, it’s an endless nightmare.

Still on a high from Kylie Minogue last week.

Michael Monroe playing a saxophone Sunday night in Chicago.

The world is burning but can we all agree that liquid vinyl is a very dumb option to listen to music on?

I saw Michael Monroe tonight just outside of Chicago& it was one of the most exhilarating shows I’ve seen in recent memory. A rock n’ roll tour de force where he leaped across the stage all night & sang his heart out.

Butch Walker has made a handful of my favorite albums of all time, but STAY GOLD from 2016? It’s still in my top ten from the last decade. It’s like a lost Petty/ Springsteen album at their peak & it’s perfectly sequenced. open.spotify.com/album/5P5zNg...

Chicago people will know the importance & meaning behind this logo. #Rosemont #chicago

DYING FOR SEX is quite possibly the best television series I’ve seen in years. Jenny Slate & Michelle Williams do next level work here. Exposing every damn emotion one thinks about but doesn’t necessarily say out loud is something few can pull off. It’s now streaming on Hulu.

More @kylieminogue.music-social.com.ap.brid.gy from her Chicago show earlier this week. #musicsaves

TOP GUN: MAVERICK aside, the most infuriating thing about Val Kilmer’s last 25 years of movies is almost none made their money back.

We are going to be isolated. I fully don’t expect the 2028 Olympics to happen, & if they do, they won’t be in America. The World Cup next year will play to largely empty stadiums here in the US, while Mexico & Canada reap the benefits our tourism to their countries.

Would I pay $45 a disc for every take recorded at the Power Station 1982-84 for BORN IN THE USA? Yes. Other eras? 🤷‍♂️

Get a library card!!!!

$300 for a box set of 7 CD’s is the equivalent of saying “let them eat cake”.

Kylie Minogue s first US tour in 15 years arrived in Chicago last night & it delivered big time. Pop production has grown by leaps & bounds but she kept up with the pace & delivered a dazzling & euphoric 2-hour show where I danced my little heart out.
