I didn’t catch much of the Grammys this year but I have to say... the

Call me crazy but I’d really like my daughter’s grandparents, aunts & uncles and parents to be around to watch her grow up. I don’t think trading people’s lives for short-term gains in the stock market & economy makes any sense. Am I wrong?

Every day it seems we reach a new, sadder level of absurdity in the United States of America. As a parent this has me outraged for other parents, kids, teachers & school employees. This is insane. Listen to & support the scientists & experts, not this administration.

Should we see if David Byrne wants to sit in with UM?
First Umphrey’s plays with Gene Ween, and Ween reunites shortly after. Now Portnoy is going to drum with UM, and he’s getting back with Dream Theater.
Can we get David Byrne as a guest for the Brooklyn shows in January?

Political tweet:
Liars, drunks and sexual predators don’t belong on the Supreme Court. There are many other deserving, qualified candidates. Kavanaugh obviously has no business being considered. Cancel the vote now, pick a new nominee. Why die on this hill?

A big personal thanks to my buddy Jefferson. Not only does his insane lighting get visceral reactions from our fans, his superb video work for us is only outshined by his lights. Creating Forrest gUMph was some of the most fun I’ve had on the road. Thanks for it all, Jefferson.

Short answer, yes
@nugsnet
pays their artists extremely fairly. Best way to support is buy a subscription. Their pay is directly proportionate to streams/downloads & we see actual revenue from the listening our fans do there. Feel free to make a playlist & put it on repeat. 😜
Given that we are talking about streaming services, any artists on who can speak to the equity issue there? Are you getting a fair dollar amount back? Has their push into streaming over digital downloads hurt that equation?
