Play some pigpen era tunes. Turn on Your Lovelight, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, Hard to Handle etc.

Those might be more up your alley than the classic noodly dead that scores of cover bands continue to imitate.

He cut Clapton to the bone. I think they dubbed some stuff after the show, but that ass kicking feels real.

Not sure how it will help the birth rate, but I guess we have to try.

You’re a sick fuck, Gurt. I mean this in the most respectful sense.

The only lamentable thing about that establishment’s demise is those biscuits.

Yea! Season 2 of β€˜Cocaine and Rhinestones’ already laid out loads of stories, not to mention the long allegorical intros to each episode.

I’m sure they’ll wreck it eventually, but if you add -ai to your search it gives you regular search results without the ai summaries.

My 22 year old is going to see CVB with me in September. He got their music burned into his psyche at a young age.

I met a dog named Indiana Johnson today, so my Independence Day is a success.

True story-tonight I saw a rotating billboard that went from cannabis dispensary to kidz bop. I believe this vision is possible.

Rockin in the Free World isn’t one of Neil’s better tunes, even though I agree with the basic sentiment.

Goddamn, Neil Young still sounds great. Live from Glastonbury on bbc 2 now.

Packed my stuff for a week trip and sat down to play a few tunes.

Just as I finished singing Lonesome Suze, a firefly appears in my living room.

Richard Manuel was an incredible talent. Even fireflies want to hear me sing his songs.

They had Kip Knueppel at the ready and didn’t use it? Poor Kid.

Not sure I’ve heard Conway Twitty’s version, but I believe it.

My wife echoes this sentiment every year about this time.

Somehow Sonny Bono’s fatal skiiing accident came up at a family gathering last night.

I may have made a terrible joke about a song title the tree quoted after their collision, but you had to be there.

Important personal update: my wife just asked me to do β€œa dad thing”. That thing was disposing of a dead bunny that one of our asshole cats left on the porch.

I half assed repaired a 30+ year old lawnmower. It works, but that cable isn’t supposed to be like that.

Nice track list here. The yazoo releases have pretty thorough notes.

I’ve avoided Jeff Buckley for decades, mainly due to a college roommate incessantly playing his version of β€œHallelujah β€œ after his passing.

Dude had some serious pipes. I may have to give him another chance.

I finally succumbed to microsoft’s incessant push for me to use copilot ai.

After some flogging and corrections, it successfully did what would have been a tedious task. If I hadn’t known what I needed and trusted the first results, they would have been disastrously wrong.

Sorry. Kid is pursuing it professionally, so I’ll be going to nutcracker for the foreseeable future.
