This is something that fascinates me about music. I think Magic, Working On A Dream and High Hopes are completely without merit. Not one redeemable quality to any of them. I think the first and last songs and the title track of Western Stars are some of the best Springsteen songs in over a decade. S...

There is a Spotify playlist I found that brings me back to my early records. look for K-TEL by PJ PLummer 98 songs featured on K-TEL albums. Not everything but quite a bit. I find the "gag" songs aren't on there like The Streak or Frogman Bradley. Found it https://open.spotify.com/search/playlists/...

Cooley was destined to be a cool kid but that 5th grade setlist cinches it.

I think I liked the Carpenters in the fucking 5th grade.

Wow. Thanks for sharing Jimmy Jack and thanks for posting Cortez.

Listening to Nights That Won't Happen last night was just a fucking kick in the teeth.

My favorite songs are Hitch Hikin’, Western Stars and Moonlight Motel.

What Clams said!

I bet that did fuck with people!

To say that Bruce has underwhelmed me for a while now would be an understatement. It had gotten so bad one of my buddies asked me if I even liked Bruce the artist anymore. I gave Western Stars a spin over the weekend and I have to say it's his best record since The Rising. It's as out of left field ...

I once made a mix tape with a Charlie Rich song followed by a Tupac song.

I watched this weekend from the YouTube link. Thanks.

Nice sweet, short set.

Almost new sounding arrangements of Gravity's Gone and The Righteous Path were awesome!

I fuckin' love this!!!

Forgot it was Pride week too.

And I love hearing that the band played The Southern Thing in what I consider the archetypical Northern city.

The pay rate for streams is something like this.

For every 1,000 streams the band / artist gets 7 cents.

I worked in the industry from 87-96 and met hundreds of famous/infamous musicians from so many genres, and hands down the surliest, nastiest of the bunch was John Denver (and Nanci Griffith is tied with him for the dishonor- don't let her "act" fool you, she was a real nasty piece of work every tim...

Thanks so much Steve!

Your post just made my fucking day.

When I was 18, I got kicked off the volunteer team at a local music festival for upsetting Miranda's dad by spending a little too much time on her bus... and for reeking of weed and cheap booze, probably :mrgreen: The same night I got my weed confiscated by the 5-0 and nearly got my ass kicked by t...

That's a Hell of a tribute. Especially coming from a fellow artist.

Hey Wordman. Thanks for the heads up. Fascinating stuff.

Manhattan Plaza has a pretty rich history of artists who lived or are living here. It was Tennessee Williams' last home; Charles Mingus. Dexter Gordon. Al Pacino. Alicia Keys. Terence Howard. Dylan Baker. Timothée Chalamet. Larry David. Samuel L. Jackson was a security guard here. Uhhh, holy shit.

Damn. I wasn't even the first one to wish you a belated birthday.

Hope you had a good one!

^^^ Well damn. This looks good. Thanks for the heads up.

This may be bad intel but I heard via social media that the band broke up.

Hey word. I know this wasn't meant to be a manifesto but I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the subject. I'm surprised I haven't read more about folks wanting to spend more time having actual fun than posting about virtual fun. Hell some folks may be to dull to even understand there is a difference....

I don't hate the new song but if this is the lead single?

Good news David Sancious is on this new record!

Thanks for the chuckle this morning!
