shoe is on the other foot…although they should have picked a Brinsley Schwarz disc

I've always said, the band is solid and knows their chops
some insightful picks and not what you'd expect

may be of interest to some:

"It was pretty awful." Before she found fame fronting Blondie, Debbie Harry was in a 'baroque folk rock' band called The Wind In The Willows. Listen to the never-released Suzy Snowflake, the first professional recording she ever made

Why yes in fact I’m spending far to much time on the Socials and YT this morning as where else would have I seen this gem..

Person sees Bob Vylan at a show decided they were vile and reported them to Metropolitan Police, that show in question (checks notes) Iggy Pop.

an interesting local fact I did not know

The Twin Bridges Marriott Hotel was located roughly where the Long Bridge Aquatics Center is today. On this day in 1979, Lowell George, the genius behind the band Little Feat, died there after performing his last concert at the Lisner Auditorium. RIP, Lowell.



I guess there was a time when this might be bragging rights
"one of the very first airport hotels in the country."

Thanks to a well timed screenshot and AI overlords and determined that Bob Vylan’s monthly listeners increased a 109% less than a week

The oddly specific schedule for the final Ozzy/Black Sabbath concert

Omg the hype about oasis reunion. I notice Liam is back to his just standing inmobile singing approach. How boring.

Bryan Adams is kind of a dick

Randomly read how Sherman Hemsley, a.k.a. George Jefferson of ’The Jeffersons was a big fan of the psychedelic rock band Gong
https://magnetmagazine.com/2009/03/05/george-jefferson-worlds-biggest-gong-fan/

Ok not really the weirdest part of the story….

Back in 1999, Sherman recorded a full album with Jon Anderson of Yes. "Festival Of Dreams", a rock opera with all the lyrics by Hemsley has never been released.


oh and another random musical fact
Robert Cray was the bass player for Otis Day and the Knights in "Animal House"

I actually recently went down a George Jefferson rabbit hole and read the same stuff. Apparently he was a big prog rock guy. Another Sherman Hensley tidbit was that he was light in the loafers.

Was surprised when I turned on NPR this morning and they were playing bad brains

just a clip… but definitely not expected

Hopefully they get with the program and work some RATT into the show soon.

YEAH BOY!!!

Wow, a minor threat song in a TV show?

Episode 7 of stick

Also finished with my favorite big thief song, Shark smile

Debbie Harry got her start in a psychedelic folk band called The Wind in the Willows. 1966.
"twee folk-psych-rock"

she lists  finger cymbals as an instrument :)

ha…
Dylan would later make one of the few missteps of his life when he decided to hand it to manager Albert Grossman in exchange for a couch.

In another tv show spotting was watching the new Leah D show Too Much and wouldn’t you know the MC for the open mic was don letts!

Then Jon Wurster posts about it today… with some RATT content that apparently he directed the video for Round and Round

not casting shade, not a yellow-red card thing at all, just pointing out the coincidence:

Debbie has to be the most photogenic person in the universe. I gotta admit I am in love with her in the  70s. So beautiful
