Wow! I can't claim that type of culture or taste today as I'm going through a slew of 60s stuff:
The Mamas & Papas
Paul Revere & the Raiders
The Boxtops
Dave Clark Five
The Animals

Back to my semi annual playing of "Trouble Every Day", Mothers Of Invention.
In one of my moods. It was either that or "Venus In Furs" [[Velvet Underground).

It's OK. I will rejoin the present soon...

On December 22, it's always Joe Strummer. 7 years gone

[[Joe sent out this hand-painted christmas card -- repros available through strummerville.com)

If you're after getting the honey, don't go killing all the bees. RIP Joe, always missed.

and "Johnny Appleseed" came out just before the advent of colony collapse disorder

"Earthquake Weather" was officially released Oct 17, 1989 [[day of the Loma Prieta earthquake)

"The President blew so that Bird could live" ... gee, Joe predicted Clinton!

ok, ok... but it's fun to play the Nostradamus game

Here's a seasonally-appropos one from my pal Chuck... he did this in the late 90s; I had never heard this song before he sang it, though I have heard numerous artists perform it since. It is one of my favorites, especially when sung by him....

Watched the 25 anniversary show of the Rock Hall of Fame. Really enjoyed it, Aretha was great, at least until she had Annie Lennox join here.
A lot of great stuff in that show.
Also heard today that the singer of the Knack is dying of cancer. I had no idea his brother is our own Jeffrey Fieger.
