Actually his last song was "Keep Me In Your Heart For A While".
But I'd rather remember his acerbic whit.
He wrote "My Shits Fucked Up" before he knew his shit was fucked up.
That would be a very weird thing if it was true though.
Imagine that we find that a certain percentage of the generally uptight nature of things today was attributable to audio and video encoding.
It's almost funny. And the weird thing is that once you wrap your head around it, it is maybe...
I don't think the MP3 standard has changed.
They have MP4's now but CD and MP3 quality is the same.
It's been standardized since the early 90's.
It's a compression scheme.
It's pretty much impossible.
But I've always found that Gimme Shelter has a resonance for the time and place.
I've also always love We Can Be Together by the Airplane.
But really it goes on and on.
We are forces of chaos and anarchy
Everything they say that we are we are
And we are very...
Something tells me that this sort of thing will be happening more and more.
Many artists have expressed real anger at the hall.
And those are the ones being inducted.
The biggest problem is that it has lost it's legitimacy.
A lot of artists not yet inducted have already expressed that they...
Oh that time.

I still like some of it
It's a great album.
Perhaps slightly uneven. A few clunkers but like every offering from BOC it has some shining moments.
My fav's are Black Blade and Lips In the Hills.
About .....
The first track, "Black Blade," features lyrics by fantasy and sci-fi writer Michael Moorcock and is about...
Well that's the point.
I believe they cater to what the record company wants.
And if you are tasked with making a hit then what are they going to do?
Probably start out trying to be true to "their sound" but when that doesn't work because what's popular has changed they are gonna follow trends...
Yeah they were crucified by the success of Reaper.
You could just feel that the record company was wanting another Reaper from them as the market went to Phil Collins songs.
FM was washed up before he left.
They may make an album or not. It doesn't matter.
They will be just doing the hits for the rest of their career.
Just like all the other bands from that era.
And they will sell out venues. Good for them.
They will be perfectly fine without Lindsey Buckingham...
Sold out.
The recent Fleetwood Mac thread got me onto this.
A lot of the original FM fans were disgusted by the Lindsey Stevie version.
Hell a lot were not good with Bob Welch.
I'd also say BOC may be accused of selling out to follow fashion.
For true fans the first 3, the black and white...
Well personally I'd call their glory days the Peter Green years.
But I get it that generally people identify Fleetwood Mac with the AOR stuff of the late 70's.
In either event they are going to be a Tribute band even with the original members.
Just doing the hits.
Not that it's a bad thing.
I've...
I like the Band/Dylan stuff. I've visited some of those places.
Big Pink and the corner where Dylan crashed his Triumph.
The basement tapes were recorded right behind the garage door.
The link below is the road where Dylan crashed. The exact location is uncertain.
He alternately told that he...
Good old fashion country roots music.
New album comes out today.
