    The bizarre fact of the day is I've just received $190 from Facebook. It's a reward for the high degree of engagement on my page, at least 95% of which seems to be coming from Hasbara bots.

    The timing of my upcoming visit to London ended up being very good. On the afternoon before I play my first of two London concerts, on October 23rd, I'm looking forward to singing at this rally against extraditing Julian Assange. dontextraditeassange.com/press-clip/joi…

    Today in London, I'll see you at the rally against extraditing Julian Assange in the afternoon -- and in the evening, come to the show at the Telegraph at the Earl of Derby pub!
