I love this and want to see it used again. By you, hopefully.

Agreed. If I'm ever on trial, I want the lawyer to be a sumbitch. Cosby's guilty, in my mind, but his lawyer is doing his job the only way he sees how.

Oh, that was good as you can imagine…

I want the asshole story! I want the asshole story!

Upvoted especially for Sweet in '73. They were fantastic.

Four of us went to Pine Knob to see Croce and Loggins and Messina. We were broke and only had enough money for lawn seats, which were sold out. We heard most of Croce's set from the parking lot until the guards chased us out. A month later he was dead. I can't really claim I saw him, but I half heard him…

Saw that Crimson lineup 4 times in less than a year. They toured so much, it's a miracle they ever got in the studio.

Mott kicked ass. Aerosmith was great, and I'm not a huge fan. Tyler entered from the right, slammed the mic stand down and did a no-hands cartwheel. We all looked around and asked Who Are These Guys??

The only good thing about starting my 7th decade is memories of all the great artists I've seen, including many mentioned here. The Ramones In CBGBs, the Clash in a roller rink in Detroit. Al Green on the redemption tour, post grits. Sarah Vaughan with Count Basie. The Who with Keith Moon. Peter Tosh in a nightclub.…

I watched him being interviewed (at a Boston book fair) on C-Span. The book sounds great. When asked to name a dream time travel trip, Gleick said he'd go into the future. He thought everyone would answer the same and has been surprised that seemingly everyone but him would go to a point in the past. What do you…

I love you all. This whole exchange was great.

"What thou lovest well, the rest is dross." I've always loved that line by Ezra Pound, and that is where I learned the word.

A friend of mine tried to karaoke "Apple Peaches…" and that is TOUGH to do. No vocal breaks, rapid lyrics, and pitched (like Four Tops) just out of comfortable range. Great pick of Laura Nyro, too. How about "When I Die" by Motherlode from the same period? (Not the Nyro song)

I almost said this one, Biff. And "Chicago" because I was a young radical at the time. It really catches the spirit of the late 60s.

Absolutely. You can see right through to his soul and all the way to your own.

Enjoy it, Catrina woman! My Andalucia used to sit in my car, lean on me, and ask me to play the whole album again. Couldn't save her from herself, so my other song for her is For You by Springsteen.

Big Star, Love, and Television: you and me are already friends, godlen.

Wild Child was the first Lou song I heard, before Transformer came out. Dennis Frawley, a legendary dj from Detroit's WABX, played it one night and just about blew my mind.

Party at my house, Boba.

Great story wsvon. I met him around the time of Rock and Roll Heart (yeah, I'm old) outside a radio station. He was chatty and sweet. We talked about zen buddhism since he saw me carrying an Alan Watts book. One of the nicest celebs I ever talked with.
