Were he still with us, Charles Dickens would doubtless have had great expectations of a jolly nice 213th birthday tomorrow. Back in 1949 his former residence of Bleak House in Broadstairs, where he wrote some of his most famous works, was up for sale.

I woke up thinking the surprise of the day was the PS5 I had been hiding in the house for weeks for his birthday. He works 6 days a week and deserves some downtime. He woke up knowing he was playing NO GAMES!

🇯🇵 Yutaka Ozaki, who passed away at the age of 26 in 1992, had one of the most powerful voices in Japanese music. His live performances were incredibly emotional. He wrote a lot of his songs when he was just a teenager as well. I wish we still had musicians like this.

Had a great time at the White House tonight! President Trump was incredibly generous with his time, spending over three hours with us. He shared some powerful words about the importance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ—and the hope we have because of it. He even gave us a tour upstairs, showing us the family quarters and the historic Lincoln Bedroom. It’s truly something to stand in front of the bed where President Lincoln slept and see the very desk where he penned some of his most important words. What an honor to be part of it. A memorable night for all!

I just saw the VIDEO Tony Elumelu shared about the burial of his Father-in-Law. He and his family were not only in attendance, but they were in charge of the burial. He even had a “couple dance” with his wife. So, where was that rumour that “he has divorced his wife” from?🤔✍️

John Diggins or JD as we all knew him - was a very dear friend of mine and had been since the early 1970’s. He made many of my most precious guitars. Sadly, he passed away last year which was devastating. Before his passing, John wrote a book about his journey to become a famous guitar luthier. His family have now published the book in celebration of his life and contribution to the history of music. Link in my bio! Tony

Andrew Schulz was caught off-guard when Akon revealed that Prince became a P-MP after he became famous while Michael Jackson had a mysterious aura that naturally attracted women even before he became famous 😮👀 “Prince, that was a part of his image. He would walk in, he had some b*tches with him, his band was all hoes.. Mike, everything was quiet, silence, mysterious. You never really knew how he moved, who he moved with.”
