at this point, were life a film, tv show, or novel, everybody would be screaming “he’s working for Russia!” … at any other time in our history this would cause such an outcry from both republicans and democrats that this president would be drummed out of office. for shame, for shame. if you voted for him, how can you possibly still support him? is this really what you want? no bots need reply. by @benmonttench

this brilliant, funny, occasionally somewhat crazy (only in the best possible way), always brilliant, loyal man changed everything in my world in untellable ways. he led the unleadable band for four decades, bailed me out of more than one crisis, and put up with my drunken, drugged self far longer than he should have. oh yes, and he was a hell of a singer, a hell of a songwriter, a hell of a performer… and did i mention he was funny? you have no idea. thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏❤️📷: george rose/getty images by @benmonttench
