Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

I was hoping Holly Gleason would weigh in about Dave Marsh, and boy, did she ever. She captured the rhythms and pauses of having a conversation with Dave, and lots more. www.hollygleason.com/essays/2026/...

Dave Marsh Kicks Out The Jams — Holly Gleason

Author, activist, SiriusXM Host Dave Marsh is celebrated by mentoree and music critic Holly Gleason. Personal and true, it shows the man behind the pointed written voice and fierce social activism.

Listening to the Dylan Bootleg Series #5, the Rolling Thunder tour. Just realized here lies the template for MJ Lenderman's sound.

Today is a good day to remind folks about Land of Hope and Dreams: A Celebration of Dave Marsh’s Work and Vision. A number of Dave’s friends wanted to put together a symposium of discussions that would be in conversation with his brilliant work. (1/?)

This is an absolutely fantastic piece by Dave

I'll never forget reading this in City Pages in 1995: Dave Marsh, one year after Kurt Cobain's suicide. poetry-arts-confidential.blogspot.com/2014/04/dave...

Last night my son made a compelling argument for Magical Mystery Tour as The Beatles’ best album. Once you set aside the rather silly “it’s not a real album” bit, he’s got a point.

I see that Meta has a new ad touting the beautiful future to be built by the partnership between humans and AI. The song playing underneath the platitudes? David Bowie’s “Five Years.” Guess nobody at Meta read all the lyrics, huh?

Do better, @chicagotribune.com

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...

To quote @carynrose.bsky.social , always go to the gig. (even if it is eight hours away and you don’t have a ticket when you leave the house.)

Gino Vanelli’s “Black Cars” is the best 1980s Robert Palmer song.

At least nothing that the U.S. Government had done has ever resulted in blowback. You know, in addition to this being morally reprehensible.

Extremely evil/cursed take from the WaPo this morning

At least 10 years ago, @babstobritches.bsky.social told a few of us of the greatness of the movie “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.” I finally watched it, and holy cow — every bit as good as she made it out to be, and then some.

Watching The Chair Company for a second time, and only now realizing how much David Lynch informed Tim Robinson’s comedy.

If you live in Wisconsin and to see someone over the age of 25 walking around with one of those big Stanley mugs, there’s a 50% chance it’s filled with brandy or a middling blended whiskey and Sprite.

It was gonna be Bob Dylan at the Milwaukee Auditorium, but then ELO/Hall and Oates at the Milwaukee Arena went on sale but their show was first. 1981

What was your first concert? 1983, Mahler 3 BBC Phil, Royal Albert Hall

I’m amazed at how many albums and bands I rejected in my (relative) youth (even into my 40s) that I’ve come around to. Mostly because I gave credence to factors other than my own ears.

Whatever videos you're seeing of the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis brutalizing American citizens, the reality is worse, MUCH WORSE. 😳👇

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

What if, instead of switching twice a year between daylight saving time and standard time, we just fall back every night so we can all have the extra hour of sleep we desperately need? That would work, right?

I saw Jeff Daniels in a convenience store in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. He was buying donuts for his band, on their way to Oshkosh. We made eye contact, but the encounter was so out of place (Beaver Dam is a town of 16,000 people) that it didn’t seem real.
