Maybe some of you can form an exploratory committee and test the viability of that concept. I am not the right person for the job, but I do care a lot, and I do think I’m nice. And I do think that I’m better than what we have, and what we’ve had, for the most part.

I've been thinking about this song that has been around for a little while but hasn't made it on anything. Partially because I've had a tough time figuring out how to present it. Greed is my enemy. Hate is my enemy. Not caring, and cynicism, are my enemies.

I don’t really care what political persuasion you might be. Surely none of us can tolerate a president threatening someone for freely speaking. Among many, many other things that none of us should tolerate.

Spencer and I have some answers to your questions here. These were really thoughtful and lovely questions, as usual, from the Starship Casual clients. We really appreciate it, including the questions we couldn’t get to. OxO—JeffyAndrew: Wondering what it’s like traveling with your kid not as a family member, but as a fellow musician. Is the dynamic any different? JT: Not really. I think of Spencer as a fellow musician, on and off the stage, and on and off tour.

Here’s a quick cover of a new Bill Fox song. Great to have new music from one of my most reluctant heroes. Could only find a G harmonica so it’s in G, not A like Bill’s. By the way, someone at Apple hates harmonicas almost as much as Tom Schick. It sounds like a vampire harmonica trying to see itself in a mirror. I kind of like the audio effect, but it’s definitely discriminatory. Also, don’t come at Tom about his harmoniphobia. It’s a sensitive topic.
