I was thrilled to take part in inducting Leon Russell into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Most people don’t know that Leon wrote one of the greatest songs of all time, “A Song For You”, which has been covered by everyone from Donny Hathaway to Christina Aguilera. I’m really proud of our performance together so I wanted to make sure you got a chance to see it.

A very well-chosen bunch of notes there, JM - love it.

Dear Aaron and Rebecca,
First of all, thank you for inviting me to your dinner party tonight. It was a blast and a great way to end a tough week.
I also wanted you to know that tonight I dog whispered your dog.
From the moment I walked in I realized that you had a dog in need of whispering. It…
Please would you dog whisper my dog? Got builders in and she won’t stop barking…

Having a point to make doesn’t always mean having to make the point.
Sometimes it’s fun though.
Don’t Think Twice
“Suze Rotolo, writer, artist and the girlfriend whose arm Bob Dylan takes on the cover of Freewheelin’, passed away quietly in New York last Friday. Rotolo was said to have been important in shaping Dylan’s politics, and of her, he has said, “Right from the start I couldn’t take my eyes off her.”

Always sad to lose someone from such a pivotal time in music and society. RIP Suze the muse x

These things are like a big shouty wall! Are you hiding behind there? Have you locked yourself in an 80s-style bedroom to reconnect with your inner guitar hero? Hope so :o))
GPOYGW Ibanez Steve Vai Jem Series guitar in Loch Ness Green. Thanks to the Ibanez Custom Shop. One of the first guitars I’ve ever pined for, as if it were brand new in 1989. FMLFTW
It’s hideous. But I get you. Bit like when my mom didn’t understand why I wanted her to pay £20 for a faded denim jacket. Little did she know that Tiffany wore one - cuh!
one forty plus: Please →
I’m not out to please everybody - I’ve actually been out to try not to displease anybody, and that’s even harder work. It’s like Prozac for creativity - cutting off the highs and lows and the risks and the rewards so that nobody walks away from a show or listens to an album with a passionate…
OMG yes PLEASE! Just play your heart out and forget the media, the mainstream, the girly fans who just want rom-songs. You are so lucky to have the talent, ability, time and energy to play until your heart reaches the ceiling. I wish I could soar like that. Don’t waste it.
Rock and Roll
Should never come with Terms and Conditions.
I don’t accept.
Please just PLAY, JM. Play for fun, for passion, for a drug-like fix, for the need to vent, for the kick of getting your and our hearts pumping and our feet not just tapping, but JUMPING! You are at your best when you stop worrying about what everyone wants or expects from you and you just let yourself go. Arrgghh you frustrate the hell out of me LOL!! xox
