Please don't misinterpret my tweets as insensitivity to our current reality. I think most people know where my heart is. Many follow me for an escape or to reminisce about music. I like to think this is important for mental health right now. Please mute if I clash on ur timeline.
Should get something cool for the 25th anniversary of an album many of us cherish.

about a lawsuit/broken friendship with a former manager(RH)?"
No.
I know it's in a book and on a Wikipedia page, but I side with Dave's commentary here:
Happy Birthday to Tim Reynolds!!
Here's one of my favorite Tim moments from the past few years: Tim doing an instrumental cover of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" at SPAC in 2017. This is the only time he's performed this cover at a DMB/D&T show.
I may tweet media clips more frequently than usual. If so please don't misinterpret my tweets as insensitivity to our current reality. I rewatch/listen to these clips as I post them and they're positive for me as I hope they are for others. Please mute if I clutter your timeline.
