Concerts you are attending
Got a ‘70’s pop summer lined up, first up is 10cc at ACL Live in early August (no Eric Stewart, but Graham Gouldman and half of the six-member Dreadlock Holiday era band), then a couple of weeks later Barry Manilow at Moody (wife’s favorite), then back at Moody in October for ELO.

- Baltimore Bridge Disaster
Damn, I watch that yt channel all the time, cool to watch the ships come in and out. They usually train the camera on the port during the day, lucky to have it facing the bridge last night. Rewind about 7 hours and you can watch the whole thing unfold, sickening how slowly it happens. Prayers to all the workers on that bridge..- Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body in Congress?

- RIP Eric Carmen
Fuckin A, let's get some up in here. Loved this one when I was a kid. Listening just now, was struck at how it has the same electric piano sound and vocals as some of the songs on the Beach Boys 1977 album "Beach Boys Love You". Sure enough, both were recorded the same year and that is Brian Wilson and Bruce Johnston on backing vocals.- RIP Eric Carmen
This day can just fuck right off... Rest in peace sir https://variety.com/2024/music/obituaries-people-news/eric-carmen-dead-raspberries-singer-all-by-myself-go-all-the-way-1235938937/- RIP Karl Wallinger

Dave Gilmour and Joe Walsh say thanks as well- Old 97's appreciation thread
I appreciate you being there. Got to meet a lot of Joel's friends that night, an did a lot of shots/toasts, so there was some good mixed in with the sad. Thanks again for your thoughts.- Brian Wilson is near the end
Truly sad. Hell he's 5 years older than my mom and she's in a nursing home unable to move basically, but still sharp mentally 5 years from now, who knows...). But Jesus, let's see, blowing your mind on drugs (luckily able to somewhat come through it unlike Syd Barrett), having both of your younger brothers die before you (as someone who has lost a younger sibling, yeah, that will fuck you up the rest of your life), a cousin who went nutso and took you to court, and a "manager" who controlled your entire life and tried to steal you blind. My mind would be mush too. I don't think he is near the end, but I do believe he is totally done creatively, or even as a "prop" on any kind of tour or anything. He was the ultimate man-child. Just never grew up, wrote some of the most brilliant music and melodies ever, but accompanied by just simple, juvenile even lyrics. He was just stuck in that "Great American Songbook" style of writing, from the 30s through the 50's, into the early 60's, but he could just never progress any further. A true savant, we will never see his likes again. Just a few favorites, again, the lyrics don't matter, it's the sound, the blend, the chords, the arrangements, that are true genius. One of the most brilliant songs ever written, if you're musically inclined, just try to mentally figure the chord structure out as this is playing, where is the center? You can't do it.. again, such a deceptively simple song, but track where the chords go, every way you 'don't' expect them to go..- Brian Wilson is near the end
The song was rewritten after Mike Love voiced objections to the lyrics.[16][17] Love stated in a 1993 interview that he found the original lyrics "so totally offensive [and] nauseating" that he refused to sing them.[18] He told Wilson that he was strongly opposed to drugs such as LSD and did not wish for the Beach Boys to be associated with its culture.[19] In his recollection, he was aware of the fact that Wilson had experimented with LSD and knew that the "prevailing drug jargon [suggested] that doses of LSD would shatter your ego, as if that were a positive thing... I wasn't interested in taking acid or getting rid of my ego."[20] He said, "The people that I'd seen indulge in those things exhibited behaviors and mannerisms that left much to be desired."[16]- Hey Steel Shank!
