Excited to unveil The Living Wage for Musicians Act, a proposed law headed to Congress that I've been working on with @UMAW_ ! It would greatly increase artist streaming pay, and it's sponsored by 2 of my political heroes @JamaalBowmanNY & @RashidaTlaib !

HUGE NEWS. I've been working with @UMAW_ to develop a new music streaming law sponsored by @JamaalBowmanNY & @RashidaTlaib ! The Living Wage for Musicians Act would put aside a % of the $ collected by music streaming services and pay it as an additional royalty direct to artists!

My pet theory is that Larry David wrote Seinfeld with the subtext that Jerry is an awful comedian, and the funniest part is that real life Jerry acted in the role, used his real standup bits, and never caught on to the joke.

Evidence: Characters continually tell Jerry that his act stinks The stand up intro/outros are awful. Half the time they are non-jokes It's funnier if he's a bad comic. George is a dope employee. Kramer is a nut. Elaine is foiled at work. Why would Jerry be a genuine success?

Just got confirmation that my mom and dad both have Corona. Add 2 to the NJ number. So far both of them are sealed up at home with flu symptoms, but no serious breathing issues atm. My mom is 60+ cancer survivor and my dad is 60+ with asthma. So I am a little worried.

I understand looking for an alternative to Spotify, but none of the music streaming corporations will do whats best for musicians. Thats why I have been proposing public music libaries. Everyone can have access to music streaming, and artists can be paid fairly with tax dollars.

Pro tip, you can just paypal or venmo bands money anytime you want and its like your own Bandcamp day except its even better for the artist. Let's be honest do you even want that tee shirt or mp3 file? If you just you want to support a musician, there's no better way than a tip.

If you dont live in NYC the media and Trump might trick you on this, but the reason people are unhappy/leaving NYC, is because there are no jobs, huge rent, and unsafe public transportation. None of that has to do with the BLM protests, which New Yorkers support!
