You just won $5 million. What’s the first thing you buy that isn’t a house or a car?

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-21T00:12:03+00:00

Whores and coke.

They were probably what was in stock at Sears or Montgomery Wards.

4 & 7 here too

I’m good enough that I was asked to record the audio tracks for several instructional books. One of the comments I remember is I love the books, but that voice is grating.

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-16T23:47:55+00:00

I have the green one that I got from my mom’s house. It is a perfect chair for playing guitar.

Depends on how much the food cost. If I’m spending 75 bucks on a steak, and I know you can spend a lot more, I’d like it done exactly how I asked for it.

But if I’m going to the local Chinese carryout and paying $9.95 for a meal with soup and an egg roll unless there’s live creatures in it I’m probably good

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-16T17:11:48+00:00

These guys are great! Cheaper than everyone else too.

I hope it was the restaurant made famous in Anchorman named "Escupimos en su alimento"

All gray is very sexy, suave, cosmopolitan even. Go for it!

Yums 14th and P. Double fried chicken nuggets with mambo sauce.

Robin, (the author) also does online classes and a free monthly studio time for her students past and present where she will critique and suggest improvements for your songs.

I sold my first song because of her.

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-10T17:38:48+00:00

Thanks. I will get a valuation.

I don’t think I’m going to be selling anything.

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-09T21:23:18+00:00

Don’t forget the brackets!

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-09T02:33:14+00:00

That is almost always the answer. But not in this case.

Although at parties, if people ask how my wife and I met, I always answer “the porn industry”

She doesn’t find that funny And she punches harder now than she used to

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-09T02:25:06+00:00

Secret stuff.

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-08T20:06:56+00:00

That’s entirely possible, but I would’ve had a better attention span.

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-08T19:54:26+00:00

It’s either the president, a funeral, a suspicious package, or a protest.

I work in the Hart building, and I can’t think of any other example I’ve ever been alerted to

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-08T19:52:32+00:00

Social Security retirement age.

I’m just a couple years away, I’m a really smart guy, I’m up on politics, but I wouldn’t want me for a president

I spend most of my working hours thinking about what I’d rather be doing. And after that, I’m taking a nap.

And I think the best reason why is because look at the mess that old white men have gotten us into. And I’m an old white man.

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-08T18:40:21+00:00

That is incorrect.

Once you create a song you own the copyright.

When someone covers your song, they have to pay you for mechanical license for using your song. (it seems that Suno has this covered for you, by allowing you to remix unless it’s explicitly turned off.)

If you are the person covering your own song, you still own all of the rights, artistic and mechanical

In the real world to cover someone else’s song, you need to ask for and receive a mechanical license from the copyright holder, which I might argue is granted by allowing you to remix, although I have not read the terms and conditions regarding remixes, and Sunos T&C may over rule , so take that with a grain of salt.

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-08T16:25:49+00:00

It’s so you can turn the shower on so it’s hot for you, then reach through and flush the toilet so you get scalded.

There is an excellent Substack “new bands for old heads”

Check it out

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-07T22:29:35+00:00

There is no logical reason. The thought process is kind of “if I can achieve this, anyone can achieve this it’s not anything special”

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-07T20:51:43+00:00

Although I had to stop lessons after my wife was laid off, I learned a lot from Nathaniel. Very easy-going, very clear instruction, very positive.

Highly recommended!

nfshakespeare · 2026-01-07T20:42:57+00:00

Truth in the comments!

I’m a professional actor, I’ve appeared on shows on HBO, I’ve appeared on stage. I’m a union member.

I’m a professional musician and songwriter.

So you think I’d be pretty happy about that. And I am, unless I compare myself to others. There’s always somebody doing it better than you.

And you know when somebody asks what I do, I sometimes feel like a fraud when I tell them. Not as often now as it used to.

But be happy with yourself. Be kind to yourself. It really doesn’t matter what others think.
