Please, please, please hug your parents extra tight. See them more than you want to. Take more pictures with them than you want to. Say yes to them more than you want to. You will never regret it. I promise.
To all of you, around the world, who are listening to our album, thank you. Truly. It's the hardest we've ever worked on anything. If it brings you a single second of joy, it was worth it. We couldn't do any of this without you. We love you!
Blame it on the holiday "cheer", but I just feel like sharing.

tweeted "the w8 is nearly over" TEN MONTHS ago. Enough. If you were promised new Kings music in 2 weeks, would you forgive us? Could you?
At a dinner and somebody said "It's hard to mess up a good cut of beef". I said "You can undercook it, but it's very rare" and not one person laughed. Swear to god. So, I'm looking for new friends.
I'm crying pretty hard over this. People can be so terrible. I hope this gets the attention it deserves. That little buddy can come to any concert of ours he wants to.
I kind of need to know if we're all doing a fat thing. Like, I don't want to come out of this quarantine and be the only one to have put on 20-30lbs. We should all agree on something.
I missed it yesterday. But Happy 15th Birthday to Only By The Night. Crazy it's been that long. It was such a fun album to make. Wall ball. Malibu pineapples. Occasionally played some music.
We owe a lot to that album. We were all able to tap into something special. Happyβ¦
I have a long ride to the airport. It's gloomy and pissing down rain. I'm about to get on a plane and fly to another city to play music. I haven't been this happy in a very long time. We're back!
I swear to God, I was just walking behind a man who was walking a blind lady, and he moved over to the side and told me to go ahead. I mixed up thank you and excuse me, looked at the guy and said "thank me". Never sounded like or felt more like a dickhead in my entire life.
January is my favorite month to listen to music. The leaves are all gone. It's cold. The sky is always gray. The sun goes down so early. Perfect mood for music. Stay in, stay warm, have a drink, and listen. It's the best.
Mexico, I love you!
I got a stomach bug at my kid's birthday party on Jan 21. By Jan 23 I was in bed all day. Writhing in pain. Sweating profusely. Some say I cried, but I doubt it. Almost called an ambulance. 24th I was better, but could barely walk after not eating for 2β¦
Thank you to everyone sending their Spotify wrapped with us in it. You guys are the only reason we keep doing it. Excited to give you some new stuff for next year's version. New songs. More shows. 2024 is going to be a big one. Thank you for that!
I just opened my Instagram and immediately saw a cool picture and liked it. Then I realized I was the first like. Then I saw "posted 6 seconds ago". Now that person is getting a restraining order against me.
Today marks 1 year on a strict, plant-based diet. Never felt better. Never felt more love for animals. Never felt better about my impact on the environment. Luckily, it's never been easier to be on this diet. βπ»π
So funny hearing Americans at the airport bar trying to sound like they know about soccer.
"Hell of a strike"
"Whoa! He came about 12 feet off the pitch there"
"What a match!"
"Ello Govna did he take the leather off the football there!"
Calm down. You're from Iowa.
You can do all the manly things in the world. But when a wasp touches your face and you scream like this in front of your family, it all goes out the window. I have a lot of work to do to regain their respect as the man of the house.
What. A. Trip. Mexico City. BogotΓ‘, SΓ£o Paulo. Just incredible. Great crowds. Beautiful cities. Many memories made. I'm too lucky. I appreciate you all.
If you're going to let everybody pile on your kid, and let even the adults call him names in front of you. THEN you go on vacation and leave him home alone?! You don't deserve to keep that kid. He should be taken away from you. Kevin deserves WAY better and everybody knows it.
Been playing with guys for the past few days for the first time in like six months. My groin and hips are so sore I can barely walk. Do I do that much air humping on stage, or what? Gross.
