MPLS Founder/Director, Rock & Roll Kids Choir www.rockandrollkidschoir.com Also co-founder of Beth Club. We don’t have a website; it’s just when me and my friend Bethany hang out.
I don't watch a ton of movies anymore, but TAKE MY MONEY.
Empire Magazine@empiremagazine.bsky.social · yesterdayEXCLUSIVE 🪩 Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew is a rock inspired fantasy nodding to David Bowie and The Who. “Narnia is literally a world made out of music,” she tells Empire. “And rock ’n’ roll to me felt like a world made out of music.” Read more: www.empireonline.com/movies/news/...
Walked by the toddlers on the playground on my way into work and one of them excitedly screamed “THE BETH! THE BETH!” and that is now how I’d like all of you to react when I enter a room.
I have decided that Dolly Parton and Tim Curry are the far swing of a pendulum. They have closed up the tear of absurdity that opened up when David Bowie and Prince left. Things will gradually start to get less stupid and horrifying from here on out. I will not be taking any questions.
The five Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most (off the top of my head): 5) "Mmmmm floor pie!" 4) "Awwwww 20 dollars? I wanted a peanut." 3) "You're cut too, shushy!" 2) "Yay sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!" 1) "Who shot who in the what now?"
Steve McPherson@steventurous.bsky.social · 4w agoThe 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head: 1. Sex Cauldron?! I thought they closed that place down. 2. I’m very disappointed and terrified. 3. Uh huh. Uh huh. Listen, shut up for a second. 4. I thought I would chauffeur myself! 5. This is gonna get worse before it gets better.

One of the reviews from our shows up north declared "the dirtbag opera scene is alive and well." (complimentary) Dirtbag Opera Scene is our new cast trivia name.
Bump. Come to my show and then let’s smoke weed on the beach.

Summer 2026 – Mixed Precipitation
mixedprecipitation.org
I voted early cause I'm headed up north for opera tour today, but consider this as you head to your polling place. Also, lol this is Bluesky, everyone I follow is already voting for Peggy!
John Moe@johnmoe.bsky.social · last mo.Senate primary here in MN tomorrow. Peggy Flanagan wants to dismantle ICE. Angie Craig supported a resolution thanking ICE for their service. Wants to reform ICE. Voted yes on Laken Riley Act, then said whoops. Given what’s happened here in 2026, it’s not all that complicated a choice.
Pickup Truck Opera opens TONIGHT! Come see opera (and 90s rock covers) in the park at one of our 22 performances in the metro and greater Minnesota; runs through September 13! mixedprecipitation.org/summer-2026/...
Photographers of local TC Bluesky, who could do a reasonably priced quick shoot for headshots ASAP, like tomorrow or Monday? My old one still has long hair so my pic for the show right now is a selfie from Solid Sound where I may or may not be on acid.
Also, TC Bsky Weed Club has been on hiatus because of my schedule for this show, but there is a performance at Hidden Beach so maybe we could schedule one after!
Maimed By Rock & Roll@beffgus.bsky.social · 2mo agoHey, I'm in one of these things (Pickup Truck Opera) and you should come see it! Preview is this Saturday but lots more opportunities over the next month or so. Thanks for the shoutout @racketmn.com!

Racket@racketmn.com · 2mo agoIt's the best stuff to do:
Happy birthday to an influential album for high school Beth! I'm currently reading Juliana's memoir and identifying with her even more.
Pope Leo received singer and songwriter Patti Smith in private audience this morning. The Pope and Smith are both Chicago natives. She was accompanied by @antoniospadaro.bsky.social, undersecretary for the Vatican's Dicastery for Culture and Education.
Just called the Radio K line to request a song, literally any song, just STOP TALKING.
BLESSED ARE THE SONS OF BITCHES FOR THAT INCLUDES MOST OF US
The only thing to mourn today is the loss of Seth Meyer's Lindsay Graham impression. I will miss the cries of "MEEMAWWW!"
oh, man, this is great. finally a Senate candidate without a bunch of skeletons in his closet. hear he did really well with the big storm a couple years back
LOL. My actual therapist is on maternity leave right now so I’m currently untethered and it’s going about as well as having Eric Andre as my therapist would.
Polly SinclairLewis Fry@sinclairlewis.bsky.social · 2mo agoYour last saved celebrity on your phone is your therapist!
Chocolate peanut butter. The kind with peanut butter ripple, not PB cups, but I'm not mad at that either.
JJ 🏳️🌈@jjr222.bsky.social · 2mo agoQuick! What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
@punsultant.bsky.social, a few months ago you posted about a new weirdo front yard (possibly animal/dino) sculpture in NE? Where that at? I'm putting together a list.
