I'm going to say right now, the 80s had an astonishing amount of sax solos…that you probably remember well
then it just kind of fell off a cliff after that

Can you remember a sax solo in the last 30 years??

the 80s, I bet you could name 10 right now and would be shocked at the 20 or more you forgot

80s were truly peak sax
For sure…it was a nice throwback to the early roots of rock and roll

The piano and sax were critical in early rock and roll but fell away when Chuck Berry mainstreamed the guitar…some say he took Johnnie Johnson’s piano licks and applied them to the guitar

This track by Bosq has a wicked baritone sax solo

More baritone sax solo madness

I think the groups Parcels and Porches should go on tour together.

Parcels leaves halfway through to open for a larger band and Porches virally complains that their opener was stolen. Cops do nothing.

That larger band? The Police.
TIL about the 1942-1943 ban on recording musicians, resulting in some really awkward music initially, then the emergence of BeBop and Jazz.

Soemwhere over Super Bowl weekend I learned Rihanna is worth more than Beyonce and Taylor COMBINED. Methinks Swifty needs to get herself a makeup line.
