Unless we're counting children, you know this can't be true, right? What do you think people are eating?

I like to think the ball is nice. Then again, I spend astonishing amounts of time in my studio apartment

It's not just straight up flour and sweetened condensed milk, is it?

Chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk... peanut butter?

Sure, gas and food are expensive, we're doing a war nobody wants, and there are no jobs, but at least a lot of vulnerable people can't get necessary medical care!

I think she's also the one with the infamous trumpet player husband, from the quote about "a trumpet is a machine where compressed air goes in and divorce comes out," so that is two strong strikes

That doesn’t mean burying your head in the sand and ignoring things!!!

It means you identify

1) who needs to hear me
2) who is listening to me
3) what do the people listening need to hear?
4) how do I reach the people not listening?
5) what actual actions can I take?

And posting is not #1!

Different school choirs have now given me both "Love Song" and "A Thousand Years," so I regret to inform you thatβ€”yesβ€”the millennials who grew up absolutely terrorizing the choir room piano before theater practice are running the schools now.

(I lied. I don't regret it. I'm having a blast.)

Rightβ€”in the 2010s we had a "decades dance" unit in gym class that was only ever 50s-90s. Y2K nostalgia was unheard of. Soon the mustache-print infinity scarf from Zumiez at the back of my closet will be hip and retro again 😎

Well, obviously I need one, but we're all dodging the real question: what do you spike it with?

Unfortunately, I'm afraid thatβ€”like other musicians without a trust fund or wealthy spouseβ€”my work is only writing operas when somebody pays me to write operas, which isn't happening at the moment.

But also, yes, if I write music in my sleep I should wake up to it already done.

If you have a long enough dream about work, you should get paid for that and not have to go in. Like... come on, man, I was JUST THERE.
