The Rolling Stones - Sweet Virginia
A raggedy ode to the good-times, and one of their most uplifting. Celebrating the heroin, the pills, and the California wine; the ‘greatest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world’ hitting Texas in style.
1972.
Colter Wall - Standing Here
A man content to hide away from the world, and a country he no longer recognises, preferring the solitude of a simple life on the ranch. I’m sure we can all relate sometimes.
Little Songs. 2023.
Buffalo Springfield - Mr. Soul
Young sneering at the fame game before real fame had even been tasted, over a bastardised Satisfaction riff. A garage-rock gem on the surreal and shallow nature of stardom.
The Smothers Brothers. 1967.
If and when I get ready to vacate these premises, there won’t be another for me I don’t think.
I’ll just go back to listening to my records by myself and annoying my wife with my music commentary as God intended.
Thursday sounds…Finally saw @springsteen last night. A long-time listener, first-time caller type thing.
Holy hell. What a show. What a showman. And that band. Legends.
Such a feel-good night at a time when it was very much needed.
Today has been filled with their music.👊🎶
Good morning. Anyone going to the Green Day concert at Truist park tonight? I’ll be there with the family. I’m really excited to see Rancid. They’re really underrated.
