I think I'll give this one an A+ considering the context. I read that his son recorded these lyrics at his dad's dining room table.

It would be great if Tom Waits would get off the cross and release something half as good as this...

I got introduced to this one from Tom Petty's Mudcrutch project and loved it at first hear. I knew Roger McGuinn wrote it, but I didn't seek it out because I figured it would be one of those mono sounding old Bryd's sounding songs. I was way wrong. Sure, Tom had a lot of modern toys to play with, but the original holds up incredibly strong.

I don't want to put up the Tom Petty RIP, but someone else should. It just sucks.

A lot of musicians die and it is mostly sentimental feelings about songs they did 20 or 30 years before they died. Tom Petty made great music all the way through, even though the music industry crashed and you no longer heard his songs on the radio. His talent (and the bands he played in) only got stronger with the years. He had a lot of great songs left in him. It's too bad, but we did get 4 decades worth. Thanks Tom.

A song like this would usually bore me 30 seconds in, but that's why the band was great.

 

[d gray]

check this one out - i couldn't believe it!

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I'm fairly certain this video was inspired by Bukowski, even if the song isn't. When Jane got all those booze bottles for Christmas and Hank pleaded with her not to drink it all... Or maybe not...

This is the soundcheck. The full performance comes out today.

The great thing about a weekend of horrible mistakes is it will be forgotten around 4pm the following Thursday...

Good night, and good luck, Louisiana...

I listen to this before bed every night. And first thing every morning.

I've just heard a cover of this on the TV, an advert. I'm excising the ghost.

Play at maximum volume for maximum impact. Throw down your arms indeed.

I carved a Gord Pumpkin for a buddy of mine who was a Hip fan.

The movie could never live up to the song, but it was still the Showgirls moment of the 1970s

R.I.P. Fats Domino, one of the last of the founding fathers of rock and roll.

one of the last of the founding fathers of rock and roll.

The last.

Along with Chuck Berry earlier this year, this pretty much puts an end to the guys who created rock and roll. They're all gone now.
