Here are a few snaps of me charming @jimmyfallon around this time in 2013. Something about me and “Jim’s” make for an unforgettable connection. Photos courtesy of Getty Images.
Gettin’ serious with Sirius. 📸: Around this time in 2013, I visited the @siriusxm studios in the Big Apple. It’s always a pleasure. Photos courtesy of Getty Images.
Great to hang with fellow Springsteen honorees Steven Van Zant, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Dr. Dre... & me!

Well, @officialrobbykrieger, we may remember it differently, but there is no doubt that “Light My Fire” isn’t a great song. On this day, we released “Light My Fire.” Robby wrote it, Jim expanded it, and we worked it out together in the studio. We pushed for a longer version and let the track breathe... even when it got cut down for radio. None of us expected how big it would become. 🎥: @rickbeato1
“Waiting for the Sun,” “Yes, the River Knows,” “Not to Touch the Earth…” We kept circling back to it... the land, the water, the sky. Maybe that was our way of saying something without spelling it out. The Earth isn’t just a backdrop… it’s the whole thing. The rhythm underneath everything we do. On Earth Day, it feels simple: take care of it. Listen a little closer. We’re all playing on the same stage. 📸: Paul Ferrara.
Saw some familiar faces at the Asbury Park Convention Hall. We played this Jersey joint back in August 1968 as part of our Waiting for the Sun tour. In fact, one of my favorite New Jerseyans was in attendance that night, “The Boss”... the one and only @springsteen. I had the honor of seeing him again & playing Light My Fire with him this past weekend at the @springsteencenter’s American Music Honors, where The Doors and many other incredible artists were celebrated. A true full-circle moment

“The feels too good” - I can’t describe L.A.WOMAN in any other way. There was something loose about those sessions, like we finally stopped thinking and just played. Hard to believe it’s been 55 years since we put that record out. Watch the full video, where I talk about making the album at the link in bio.
It’s here. no country for old men is out today for Record Store Day. Chuck and I built this one from the ground up... rhythm and rhyme, back and forth, seeing where it could go. “every tick tick tick” is in there, along with the rest of the journey. Go find your local shop and give it a spin... @mrchuckd and I will be out there with you in spirit. Let me know what you hear. Find a store at the link in bio.
