Another throwback (#fbf as it were) to the Dublin Halloween show in 2012 with Jack White. I think this crappy cheap mask was my induction into the world of macrodosing phthalates (📸: @jojomccaughey ) by @cat_popper

Today is the International Day of Older Persons and lemme tell you I LOVE ME SOME OLD PEOPLE. Ask them all the questions now, because they know a lot of stuff ❤️

This is a throwback because i’m sure mom is still up for these but it may be unethical, considering she is up for ANYTHING in her stage of dementia. She wants to eat, party and sleep, only ❤️

Today I have 19 years sober. I completely forgot because for the past year Ive been focusing on my mother’s declining health and moving her to an appropriate facility and just wrapped a huge week of it. All while navigating a very complicated body of my own health issues.
Now, I love “stuff” and heirlooms and watching so much of my parents’ casually curated home wind up in the trash, donation centers and a storage facility has reaffirmed what’s important to me.
- The impact a life has on another. Even if the impact is “I never wanna see that motherf*#ker again. May it serve both of us. God is weird.
- Practicing equanimity, assumption of goodwill and not fighting any feeling. Shame, fear, joy, contentment, resentment. It can be there and I can also notice what ELSE is there that i’m feeling? I can feel two things at once and I ain’t trying to fight thoughts that wanna be there
- microdosing gratitude as a habit
- Connection with friends, old people (and critters)
- Stuff. I’ma enjoy all my stuff. Heck anyone who says otherwise or who shook their head about how much stuff my parents had. I love heirlooms and treasures that are dripping with the dust of time and I don’t blame them for keeping any of it. Life is not tidy and I regularly need to hold a thing that’s a hundred years old and be reminded of how close I am to things I can’t comprehend

I didn’t get and stay sober because Im smart or a “good person” - it was just because I kept connecting and got lucky. Im hoping if anyone can see a dillhole like me can stay sober, you might could too if you felt like you needed it.Thank y’all for your help on my path, whatever you did. Even if it was something sh*tty by @cat_popper

These two cuties 🩵 I spent a few hours with Cat Popper & Sasha Dobson at Flux Studios while they recorded a beautiful, aching, wistful version of “Brooklyn” for the new benefit record, Friends of Jesse Malin: I Would Do It For You—Vol. 1. It’s one of my faves on an album chock-full of talent. And each minute I get to spend with these sweet, funny, talented humans, is time very well spent. Grateful that y’all let me lurk.

Big ups to @dasbanklyle for producing this album to support Jesse’s recovery and to celebrate his incredible body of work—what a testament to friendship. (btw Das Damen’s cover of Don’t Let Them Take You Down is 💣)

I’ll share in another post my photo of Jesse with Jonathan Toubin, which is on the album’s back cover.

The world is spinning off its axis; our job is to continue to build community and look after each other. 🩵 If I may suggest two items for your to-do list this week: Pick up a copy of this album at your local record store, and check in with a friend or family member you haven’t heard from recently. 🩵

My pal Grace Potter hung out on my show The Anecdope and reminded me of some of the stupid sh*t we did on the road and being unapologetic about artistic evolution and parking lot dustups.

PS this clip isn’t meant to ridicule people who have incontinence issues but to demonstrate that things are not always what they seem on that damn stage.

Watch or listen to the whole thing at the links in the bioooooo
