"Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac

“We think that she was, in fact, Queen and that her memory became the myth” so says amateur Welsh-mythologist Stevie Nicks.

Rhiannon was a goddess. A horse goddess. That’s a goddess who rode a horse, not a goddess that was a horse."

"Walk This Way" by Aerosmith

"Aerosmith were The Rolling Stones squared.. It was there in their grotty demeaner. It was there in their bluesy riffs. Most critically, it was there in the lead singers’ lips."

"Loving You" - Minnie Riperton

"It’s an F#.
Specifically the F#6.
That’s the note Minnie Riperton is so effortlessly hitting. That’s the note where, surrounded by birds effortlessly tweeting their own high notes, Minnie shows them how it’s supposed to be done."

In today's chapter of "From Thomas Edison to Duke Ellington" we look back at pop music during the Teddy Roosevelt administration.
