They are also missing their only chance to recognize Marc Maron.
Hickey is a genius, but we are promised at least 319 more episodes...

Have you seen the catalog from the Hammer Museum show?

(not counting notes, index, etc), so there's a lot more detail to be filled in.

My memory was that Berkman didn't have a lot of stuff about her life, that she just went through the stages of her musical career, but I just checked and Berkman does everything you'd expect from a "full biography:" family history, education, apprenticeship, etc, but the whole thing is 110 pages

It's not really a full biography, eh?

But Fogerty's creation of his blue-collar working man persona is as curious as Dylan's or Springsteen's. What is that accent?

Steve Waxman's books are very good in this respect.

Well, that sucks, but it also doesn’t change that they would’ve been down anyway.

I call BS. They're lowered for 9/11.

I am skeptical that Mr. Hickey likes Led Zeppelin either.

Thanks for putting this together so clearly. I have been trying to reckon with why I'm OK with David Cope's work & Peter Jackson's use of AI in "Get Back," and you have nailed it: they are not trying to replace human artists with AI but to use technology to better understand them.

I am impressed that they asked, and that it was opt-in. Routledge didn't even ask.

Since Jim Gordon is taken I'm going with Louis Althusser.

It's instrumental music with improvisation and a groove, descended from blues and pop songs.

I'm not a fan, but I get it.

The exclamation point on "Hit the Road!" seems like a poor idea though.

They are also in the new lineup of Black Flag.
