THREAD: I was reflecting on this thought about where the earliest impressions were made on me in regards to jazz, as well as other types of music. Particular sounds & genres that even as a very young child had an immense impact on me. And I think it's Mr. Rogers & Sesame Street

GOOD MORNING TO NOBOY EXCEPT THE ISLEY BROTHERS. A THREAD I woke up this morning to see The Brothers Isley were trending on Twitter and then I saw why so although I'm busy this Monday, you definitely messed up if you think I'm not gonna take the time to speak on this real talk.

Rest In Power to the great James Mtume. The South Philly native & prodigal son, Jazz ROYALTY (the son of the great Jimmy Heath) and music trailblazer & pioneer. His passing is truly a monumental loss. Let's look at some of Mtume's music and legacy through the years, as a THREAD:

THREAD: Today is a great day to listen to, and talk about, one of the greatest musical groups of all time - The Gap Band. The Gap Band consisted of 3 brothers Charlie, Ronnie & Robert Wilson who had a string of hits in the late 70s - early 80s that still stand the test of time

Here’s a photo of my 70+ year old mom when me and my entire family were out on South Broad protesting against that Charlottesville rally in 2017. Needless to say we all feel the same now as we did then and no amount of fascist pressure is gonna change that. Have a nice weekend

Hear me out: someone develops a script that automatically links Shazam results or Spotify / one’s preferred streaming service to Discogs vinyl release listings. Streamlining the entire process but making life extremely dangerous for people like myself ⚠️

I cannot wait any longer for Israel, Netanyahu and the entire Knesset’s appearance at The Hague

We failed the people of Gaza. In every single way. And history will not forgive us.

I think I’ve tweeted about Level 42 a lot in my twitter career. That’s cool with me. Level fucking 42

Sometimes I have difficulty comprehending how there could be a band that’s more amazing than Level 42. This statement could also be attributed to Liquid Liquid as well

After years of spreading Pizzagate conspiracies and banning Pride flags and drag shows because of “grooming,” Republicans are going pro-pedophile and laundering the reputations of child sex traffickers to protect their leader. Welcome to the 2025 GOP.

Make no mistake about it. Your silence, apathy and inaction about Palestine will follow you for the rest of your lives and beyond

Hello all and just a gentle reminder that this account is still and will forever be a Bootsy account, a Jazz account, a mangoes account and, as always, an FTP account
