    Hey, Buddy. We’re Christians and we don’t like what you said? Yeah, then forgive me. - William Melvin Hicks

    Though not a “hit” I always loved Penny for Your Thoughts. And I’m convinced it was the progenitor of the Crowes’ Sunday Night Buttermilk Waltz which is just a dadgum jam if I’ve ever heard one.

    I saw him at MSG in February and it was a blast (and definitely a dress rehearsal for this performance). But this CBS show is ten times more dynamic - lights, crowd, guests. I love Billy - going to his shows at MSG are less like going to see a band I can’t wait to see and more like seeing a killer Broadway show. Glad I got to see one of his last “residency” shows.

    That’s egregious, outrageous, preposterous.

    I’m in Westport CT and felt it. At first sounded like it was a strong breeze but I noticed the trees totally calm….. then a little shaking which I heard more than felt (pictures, windows rattling). My wife was in her office and didn’t notice it. Dogs freaked the fuck out.

    Steely Dan

    ohchaucer replied to Go Pokes's topic in Music

    I'm a lifelong Steely Dan fan and now enjoying getting my 6 yo son into it. He can't get enough (unless it's to play some Tom Petty). I agree with many that everything up to and including Aja ruled then they started to diminish; but I actually like Gaucho a lot. The only SD songs I don't like are Haitian Divorce and East St. Louis Toodle-Oo. I also, frankly, don't love Do It Again. I finally got to see them a couple years ago and, man, I regret not seeing them when Becker was alive. Still put on a fantastic show. And while he's not quite Steve Gadd, Keith Carlock live is an absolute killer drummer.

    Quick bump… has anyone listened to any good podcasts or series about AI or Sustainability?

    They had to pull Ringo off the ceiling with a rake to sing Yellow Submarine. (And pos rep for a great reference)

    Did the theaters ask you to turn off your cell phone AND your auto-correct?

    Umm, the roofs and hoods of my former 60, 80 and 100 would like to have a word.

    As with many things in this thread, in the right hands is a critical consideration. The Rhodes keys can be iconic. I think you’re attributing the blame to the instrument when it should be to the musician.

    Get outta town. He was trying to, libtard!

    Kunkel raises a whole other class of studio drummer. Just solid and full proof. Aronoff, Weckl…. Legends of a different kind. Good call. And a final thought…. Buddy Rich changed the whole game WAY pre-rock and roll and was a masterful player of rudiments, but he topped out a by-gone era versus ushering in a new one. He was the ultimate show-off without a lot to show for it in his time…. But he showed a lotta kids at the time that their time was coming. Enter Bonham, Moon, Bissonette, Weckl, etc.

    Watts was another guy whose heart was in jazz. You hear it even more in later albums. Honky Tonk Women was a great example of tempo adjusting to feel. Mushy funk to R&B with a country/soul feel and back again. And while I’m at the ol’ typewriter, a note on Phil Collins. Although it’s no longer considered witty or a provocation to talk about how great a drummer he was - and I say was because he was literally crippled because of his drumming setup - I advocate that he was one of the more significantly impactful artists of modern pop and rock music. Unbelievable as a singer, genre bending as a writer (or co-writer), and a drummer that helped smooth the transition between prog rock to prog pop to MTV pop. I’d put him up there with Prince in terms of influence on overall importance during their active decades.

    I was gonna say alto sax. Why do we need this? And, I don’t hate it in every song and some guys are subtle masters of it, but I generally don’t like the harmonica - at least not as a “lead” in most songs.
