Been wearing the hell out of this one this week. Just a complete gem by @TheGloryFires - Old-Time Folks. Take the time to follow along with the lyrics. Plenty of thoughtful, impassioned words from a Birmingham treasure.
took a break from touring for a while, but been wanting to make some noise & see the good people & places i've gotten to know & love over the years. thankful to be a part of it, & stoked to see y'all. thank you, take care, & power to the people. - Lee

NEW: Right now Mercedes workers in Alabama are voting on joining the @UAW.
One reason workers are voting yes? They know they're building cars that sell for $250,000 and generating billions for Mercedes.
And that they aren't seeing that money.

Earwitness is available wherever you get your podcasts. Listen to my 2-year investigation into Toforest Johnson’s conviction as I try to figure out how an innocent man has been trapped on Alabama’s death row for 25 years. #innocent #podcast #mustlisten
RIP to a truly great band of truly great people doing the thing with passion, commitment, authenticity and integrity for 18 fuckin years

Impossible to articulate how incredible @lonnieholley and Lee Bains (@TheGloryFires ) were tonight at the #HauntedDanceHall at @NCH_Music
Improvisation never sounded so coherent and complete. Thanks to @foggynotions crew for all the spirit.
so honored to be a part of this amazing group and music tonight, and stoked to be back in Dublin 💚🤍🧡
Tonight we are thrilled to welcome two very special guests @lonnieholley & @TheGloryFires who will join us for Terry Riley’s In C for our SOLD OUT Haunted Dancehall gig!

🧵 Amy:
Certainly, my father was against antisemitism, as am I.
He also believed militarism (along with racism and poverty) to be among the interconnected Triple Evils.
I am certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released…

Israel claims that Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital serves as a command center for Hamas. Norwegian physician Mads Gilbert, who has worked at Al-Shifa for 16 years says there is "no evidence at all" that that is the case.
"If it was a military command center, I would not work there."
spooky Samhain and a haunted Halloween to all you good folks. thankful to have worked on this special with my homies Tom of @thetrillbillies and @matthewdcarter_
