Executive Director of The Outsiders House Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Founding member of House of Pain & La Coka Nostra. Friend of Bill W since 2005. Stay Gold.
Today marks the 31st anniversary of our debut album House of Pain - Fine Malt Lyrics (1992), Tommy Boy Records.
A timeless classic and, without a doubt, my favorite of the three House of Pain albums. Here's to 31 years of Jumping around! Slainte! -Danny Boy O'Connor
Where were you in 92?
It was 32 years ago today, on May 5, 1992, "Jump Around" & House of Pain Anthem single was released on Tommy Boy Records. Thanks to your continued support, it's still going strong after all these years. Here's to 32 more. Sláinte!☘️
Like I always say… You never know who’s going to stop by The Outsiders House Museum. Great seeing you, my friend, after all these years. Stay Gold.

18 YEARS AGO TODAY... I said "that" prayer. "God, help me." I can't do this anymore!!!" It wasn't the first time I prayed for it to stop, nor was it my first attempt at sobriety. But, eighteen years ago today, I was given a small window of opportunity and grabbed it with what
John Travolta's portrayal of Danny Zuko in the film "Grease" stands as one of the most memorable greaser characters in film history. Definitely one of my all-time favorite actors. Wishing him a happy 70th birthday!
Danny? "That's my name. Don't wear it out." -Danny Zuko.
Apparently, there's a Ukrainian Fulcrum pilot who's already chalked up six air-to-air kills today against Russian forces. He's being called "The Ghost of Kyiv." Godspeed and happy hunting.

I was told I’d be dead or in prison by the age of 21, just like my father when I was growing up. So, reaching 55 years of age today, happy, healthy, and free, is a blessing. Change is possible, and I attribute this transformation to my faith in God and my commitment to sobriety.
EL-P's debut album, Fantastic Damage, turned 20 yesterday. This record is hands down one of the greatest albums since Paul's Boutique. Yeah, I said it. And yes, it's that good.

Jump Around released 28 years ago today on May 5th, 1992.

Today marks 15 years of continuous sobriety for me. To say, It's been one hell of a ride would be an understatement. Yet, good, bad, or indifferent It's always been worth it. Willingness and gratitude have been the key for me.

Originally I was supposed to go back to LA to film our reunion interview, but I could get Soleil to come to Tulsa instead. So glad she was willing to come to visit me here in my new adopted city. The city that I love so much. Just like I love you

Unfortunately, a Tulsa institution Burn Co. Barbecue has burnt down last night. So sorry to wake up to this news. It's literally the best BBQ I've ever known, and one of the reasons that made moving to Tulsa so easy. They have also always supported the

Today marks the 15th Sober St. Patrick's Day for me. I'm still Irish and still loving my sober life. More-so now than ever. One day at a time, we can and do recover from drug and alcohol addiction. I am living proof. Wishing you all the best this St. Paddy's Day. Sláinte!

Today April 15, 2021, marks my 16th sober anniversary. My "Sweet 16” Sixteen years consecutive sobriety, including night and weekends. These years have been without a doubt the best years of my life. If you're struggling with drugs or alcohol there is help.
Brilliant evening at Will Rogers High School with S. E. Hinton and Ralph Macchio discussing everything from Johnny Cade to Mr. Miyagi. Moderated by Jeff Martin of Magic City Books. Stay Gold, Tulsa!
Happy Birthday to my brother, DJ Lethal! You are truly a beautiful soul. You have always been a constant source of inspiration to me, and I’m so grateful to have you in my life for over 30 years. From the highest of highs to our toughest challenges, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Happy Birthday, Matt! Wishing you all the best from North Tulsa. Your portrayal of Dallas Winston is, without a doubt, why I originally fell in love with The Outsiders. I truly appreciate your friendship and support of The Outsiders House Museum and will always remain a loyal fan
Had a ball with Ponyboy in Tulsa tonight. Discussed “Phase 2” of The Outsiders House Museum and got to eat pizza at Andolini’s as well. Now that’s what I call staying gold!

Just got off the phone with Rolling Stone Magazine. Talking about my love of Tulsa, S. E. Hinton, and how The Outsiders House Museum came to be. Life is good in Oklahoma!

Rest in Peace, Billy Waggoner.
You were the first person I met who was in the movie The Outsiders. I found your name on IMDb in 2014, and we connected soon after on Facebook. Not long after that, I came to visit you and Kim in Tulsa for the first time to discuss my dream of

Going to speak to the 8th-grade class at All Saints Catholic School during "Outsiders Day" today. I'm told they have all just finished reading and studying The Outsiders, and they're looking forward to hearing more about The Outsiders House Museum. Wish me luck.☘️
Got the greatest compliment ever today regarding our new book. "Thanks for the picture book. Those photos are gorgeous! I want to buy another house to just put the book on the coffee table." - Ralph Macchio.

Last year I received an honorary diploma from S.E. Hinton's Alma Mater Will Rogers High School Tulsa, Okla. This year I'm giving the commencement speech to the graduating class of 2018. Proof that "There's still a lot of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don't think he knows."
Just got off the phone with my older brother who told me he just took a chip for 20 years of consecutive sobriety. Talk about miraculous. Well done, Chris. You’re an inspiration to all.

I just found out that my friend Steve Sokolsky from junior high school has passed away. He was the guy that originally invited me to see this new movie in 1983 called The Outsiders. Our worlds would never be the same after that faithful day. Rest easy, Steve. And, Stay Gold.
