@elevateapp I just use the word ‘f*cking’, as in ‘f*cking cold’, ‘f* cking tired’, etc. Everyone always seem to know exactly what I mean.🎱~

@ABC Actually, the shark seemed very careful to swim away from any people it encountered. A bit of summer sensationalism to say it was ‘sneaking up’ on them, ominous music and all.🎱~

Screw the few people who like to spew negativity about how DR HOOK is no longer what it was when WHAT IT IS is a band that started half a century ago and still entertains sell out crowds around the world. To those folks I say THANK YOU!💕🎱~

I lost my mother 32 years ago. I still think about calling her every time something good (or bad) happens. I’d love her to know I made it this far without too much trouble. She’d like that.💖🎱~

Another rare photo from my past. There aren’t many. Me and my mom, Ruthie, taken about half my life ago. It was my birthday and I was pretty drunk. Her face was beginning to fade in my memory. This pic brought it back vividly and forever. Happy Mothers’ Day🌼🌸🌺!!! 🎱~

Well, I’m leaving for the airport in a little over an hour. The tour we’ve gone on about for so long is finally upon us, beginning in Stavanger, Norway. I can’t say I’m not anxious knowing we’ll be representing 50 years of music but, let’s get it ON!🎱~

Waiting for my 2nd jab. I began sheltering in early ‘19 (pre-Covid) when I got ill. By the time I was ready the world shut down. I remained at home for all of ‘20. Enuff’s enuff! Some Hook dates are on sale, with more to be announced. Let’s get on with it!🎱~

Me and my father, Lenny, Easter ‘55. Didn’t know him well or see him very much, but, in later years we talked on the phone every few months. He was a very nice man and I’m pleased to have gotten to know him. He passed away on Fathers’ Day, in Arizona, at the age of 92. ❤️‍🩹~

John Roderick Smarr (known as Rod). Rod was a brilliant guitar player and one of the best friends I ever had. He was the last member of Hook to join and just when we needed him most. His musicality and personality really made the band gel like never before. 💖

I’ve heard artists say it’s hard to feel the same way at showtime, night after night. That’s right. It’s impossible. Thing is, it doesn’t matter how you feel. Your gig is to make sure the audience walks away feeling fucking wonderful. Whatever that takes.🎱~

If there’s something you’re struggling with that has had you in it’s grip for awhile don’t let NYE make it harder for you. It’s just another day. But if you have to make it symbolic then let it be the day you say ‘Fuck this shit!’ and begin to move past it. I will if you will.🎱~

Hotel ‘Do Not Disturb’ signs have gotten all cutesy and clever. They say things like ‘Enjoying The Moment’ or ‘Out On A Mission’. Why do you have to justify wanting to be left alone? Whatever happened to ‘Fuck Off! It’s None Of Your Business What I’m Doing!’?🎱~
