And way cooler than Lee Atwater could ever have hoped. Blinker has empathy, a sense of duty, compassion, ethics … and a better suit than Atwater ever wore.

And he plays Hendrix style. Blinken on an ax is better than Clinton on a sax.

Hey bud. That's sweet. Hope all is well

Just catching up.

Nice selection of music by real people.

At least we don't have to listen to Pence play " Mammy " on the kazoo

Ooh, a lefty like Hendrix…now if he can pick a tune with his teeth, then I’ll really be impressed!

yes, but Blinken got himself an actual left-handed guitar...

and just for the record: I'm pretty sure that T-Bone Walker was playing with his teeth DECADES before Jimi.

but none of this detracts from the fact that the most powerful cabinet official is deeply into his Muddy Waters albums. I say this because the arrangement he's using is the one from that late, great Blue Sky series of albums, the ones produced by Johnny Winters.

Fantastic! A great pick-me-up after a harrowing week in politics.

OMG! Jaw dropping cool. I also saw Muddy live. And you’re right - Anthony Blinken is good!!! His French is up there, too. He’s just got it all happening. My favorite diplomat since Madeleine Albright. ❤️🤍💙 You made my day, thanks TC.
