It's OK. I will rejoin the present soon...
On December 22, it's always Joe Strummer. 7 years gone

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!

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.
