My new single ‘I’m Doing Just Fine’ is available on Spotify. Ernesto del Fuego is calling it the feel good hit of the Summer. And in the words of Ms. Lennox, who am I to disagree?

I *love* these RL Burnside videos of him strumming on an old guitar through an old amp on his natural Mississippi habitat. They never get old to me.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.
Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
