"Sometimes the album sounds like a jam where Mick Jagger, Van Morrison, Joe Strummer and Lou Reed share a joint."

Thanks Rolling Stone Germany for this perfect description of 14 Steps To Harlem.

This is a tough one. RIP Charlie Watts and sympathies to his family and bandmates. A legend, in the truest sense of the word.

The Ghost Writer found an antique typewriter in LA!

Here's appreciation to all the fathers out there, those gone and those still with us. The older I get the more I see the good in my parents. They loved life and loved to have fun and they passed that on to me, along with so many other things. Happy Father's Day!

Happy Birthday to the great Bob Dylan! The man who paved the way for all of us, for every songwriter who tried to tell his own story, to right some wrongs, to tell some tall tales. The only bad thing about him turning 80 is that it must mean we're all getting older too—but then again, I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Video by Sandi Bachom #HappyBirthdayBob

When fans become friends—and happy that's happened with a lot of you. Great lunch yesterday with Carol, Kathy and Mark.

Exactly 40 years to the day that we met in the parking lot after I played The Fast Lane in Asbury Park. It's been an amazing ride together and it's been great sharing it with all of you. Some of you were probably at that show! Long live love!

This photo of us from Sally Davies' NEW YORKERS book deserves its own post!

Forty—40!—years ago this month Escape Artist came out on Epic. What a thrill to make this record and looking back, the roster of musicians involved still blows my mind.

Some of you know Larry Campbell co-produced my "The King of In Between" album. A great musician and lovely guy, he and his equally talented wife Teresa Williams have just released "It Was The Music"—a love story that looks back to the music that brought people together in the sixties and early seventies and a candid look into their lives as artists as they search for what they call “music utopia.”
