Caption : Damn man. One of my fav character actors (Homicide: Life On The Streets/Gideon’s Crossing/Hack/Thief/Men Of A Certain Age/Law & Order/of course Brooklyn Nine Nine & his last series The Good Fight)——-man I would commit to a show on the strength of him being a character. Wow man this is sad for his loved ones and family and friends and for the legions of fans who loved his work. Rest in Power #AndreBraugher

Caption : Man. As a kid watching terrestrial tv—-we knew when he made an appearance on Tonight Show/Letterman it was a special moment. This reminds me of my aunt (he was a fav of hers)——and of course the many Curb moments. Sad day in comedy. He was a legend. Rip Richard Lewis.

Caption : Man—-critics often ask “what song do you wish you’da written that another artist made?” The answer is always Kast’s “SpottieOttieDopealiscious” but man——this was next level. I am no stranger to the “departure album” I’ve even taught my first 2 years at NYU about them (Sgt Peppers/Dirty Mind/Paul’s Boutique/Pet Sounds/There’s A Riot Goin On/Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants/Pinkerton/Awaken My Love/Slow Train Coming/Here My Dear)——albums the complete opposite of what the artist is known for) But man…..if you look at my previous end of year Spotify posts (I went private last year when y’all were DMn me too much about all the Gareth Davis & Dreamflute Dorothee Floller & Steven Halpern & Sun Ra & the 432 Hz tones I listen to “you ok man?” ——Phonte once asked me 🤣🤣😂😂 When asked “how do you cram so much work in ONE day” The answer is I make time for silence and stillness 2 hours every day since pandemic. That’s the ONLY way to get through this stage of life and not self soothe on pills or drank or all the other 28 addictions. I knew this 3000 jawn was a left turn but I didn’t know it’s the RIGHT left turn. I mean cats might have jokes like “this is what they play in massage parlors” or whatnot but dog——-as a dude who listens to @SteveMillerBand ‘s “SPACE” 24/7 Or U2’s “4th Of July” or Prince’s “Colors” on loop to calm down and get outta my head? This 3000 record is easily gonna take up space on my playlist for the next few. All you newbie meditators/microdosers/“time-out-for-me—before-I-hurt-someone” people who are trying to do better——-THIS is good medicine music for you. I mean if you aren’t in that space in which you are thinking about seeing life in 2050 & 2060 (nihilism is real….most of hip hop—-me included thought we’d never see 45 or 50……yeah me included) and you are in that space in which you need Space & Silence This album will be a welcome introduction. I always said “one day imma make the ambient record I’d love to sleep and dream to” (btw, watching violent shit/sleeping to news/sleeping in stressful environment takes years off your life—-so this is why I invest heavy in stuff like this.) thank you @andre3000 #NewBlueSun

Caption : Good people. I was given the pleasure of participating in a magical @pixar film some 5 years back entitled SOUL. The storyline alone of a musician losing his mojo & passion finds it again came to me at the right time. Of course for those of us who survived it: 2020 robbed @pixarsoul the opportunity to have its day in the sun inside the movie theaters. Welp, dreams come true for on Friday the 12th we finally get to witness Pixar Soul in theaters and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Tell a friend, bring your family. If you are in a life crossroads about a direction or perhaps a lack of passion (no passion no life) then I highly suggest viewing this on the big screen

Caption : Wow I can’t believe @patricia.adores.prince found this mythical legendary flier of a show I heard about that actually goes down in history. This show is crucial. Before he died Ronald Bell of K&TG shared a story about hearing “I Wanna Be Your Lover” for the first time at this particular venue Gauging the audience reaction he knew this song was an immediate hit——and as with most craftsmen: you hear a song, you study the elements, you recreate it, you dismantle it and rebuild it into your own. So he notated the chords & rhythm on staff paper, stared at it….& does what most songwriters do: plays the chords BACKWARDS. Figures out a rhythm that fits. He gives birth to their biggest song: Celebration. But it’s a groove, not a complete song just yet. (he now needs a bridge but has no ideas) On top of the piano is a Billboard Magazine. He opens to the top 100 pop hits to see what song his band would resonate with. It just so happens that the number 5 song in the country was the red hot “Rock With You” (MJ’s “Off The Wall” lp was burning up the world—-so he takes what he feels is the best part of the song (the verse “girl close your eyes let the rhythm get into you”)——grabs those chords —-transposes to a lower key to fit his reverse “Rovel Rouy Eb Annaw I” groove and now he adds the words (“it’s time to come together it’s up to you, so what’s your pleasuaaaagggghh??!”) & there it is: Prince first hit backwards & Michael Jackson’s hit that proves he won’t be a one hit comeback artist is how we got the inescapable “Celebration” by @koolandthegang. Wow!

Caption : Man. What a life. To achieve and create all he got to do for TV——and live to ONE HUNDRED AND ONE….which is the opposite of “wow he only lived to age 24 before his 3rd album or then because of medical complications he passed at 54” Living to 3 digits is a LIFE. I never shared these stories (really don’t have time these days cause I been up since 7 prepping 🎥) but there was this period in which he accidentally met our manager Rich Nichols and he was OBSESSED with him ——like there was a period when they hung heavy just because to know Rich was to get schooled in the most craziest mensa level knowledge——I mean even half the time I just feel like Rich is elsewhere channeling a cheat sheet through me (“oh yeah Rich once said blah blah blah”) but it was such a weird time cause Rich would get back and I’m like “dude this is so random….like yall spend all this time together….what in the hell do you and Norman Lear talk about?!!!” And I guess Norm was just fascinated with anyone that did ALOT of critical thinking and analytical thought process (uh you critics would call that “overthinking” and kinda call me out righteously 🤣🤣😂😂) ——believe it or not that’s the ONE thing I’m trying to lose as I take these new steps in life (more passion in my heart and less calculating over analyzing——-but back then we were all——ok I WAS all about “safety” and “people pleasing” and now I’m about self advocating and “what is it that I want?” Or “what is it that I’m passionate about? Am I on fire about this or are you afraid to be like hurting someone’s feelings by declining or (the likely scenario) “are you avoiding life by distracting yourself with work work work?” Not to go off on a tangent but if there ever was a time I wish I was a fly in the room, it would be for all of those weekends Norman & Rich would debate discuss strategize and just talk. I mean they weren’t even plannin anything (“wait are we negotiating a deal or somethin?”) Nah, they were just two birds of a feather and now…they are someone in alternate earth arguing til the cows came home about somethin. Tell Rich I said “thank you” Norman Lear cause I know of all people, yall about to find each other.
