Remembering author/writer/cable host Art Fein, a staple of LA music & regular SXSW companion. Here's a personalized check (for $0) that he sent me w photos of Elvis, Chuck & Jerry Lee. Also see this article he wrote for PSF about growing up in Chicago: www.furious.com/perfect/rock...

RIP Brian Wilson, one of pop's greatest geniuses. In 2011, I interviewed him about songwriting & this was the advice he had to give. #BeachBoys

If you ever loved this man's music, please concentrate on that & not all of the sordid stories about his downfall. Sly Stone made some of the greatest songs of the '60s and '70s and beyond- we're still living with his incredible legacy. Let's not forget that.

Thanks for the shout out!

The Butthole Surfers: Fly in Leather  - Rock and Roll Globe It ain’t easy for a band to live up to an outrageous name like Butthole Surfers. But a bunch of wild-ass Texas hardcore punks did just that in the early

Proud of this interview w Paul Leary of Butthole Surfers on their new live album & documentary, incl stories about avoiding Gibby's shotgun, horrible NY toilets, emotional scenes from the film, why the Surfers are done & advice for old punks via Rock & Roll Globe rockandrollglobe.com/rock/the-but...

RIP David Thomas of Pere Ubu- master of avant garage and a true iconoclast. Photo is from the last New York show he did with the band in June 2023. Will have a tribute to him in PSF. For now here’s an interview we did with him in 2019 www.furious.com/perfect/pere...
