Was reading "All These Years" about the early Beatles in Liverpool and Hamburg, and thinking, they really need to make a better movie than Backbeat (94), and low and behold!

Anyone have any graphic designer recommendations? I need a logo but I’m scared the ones in Google search are just AI.

Theodore “Hound Dog” Taylor fled Mississippi in 1942 after racial violence claimed a neighbor’s life. He found painting work in Chicago and bought his first electric guitar in 1950. When he formed his trio in 1957, he was still living above a garage.

Throughout my life my weight has fluctuated a lot due to yo-yo dieting. Consequently, I've been reluctant to buy good clothing. Now that I am on Ozempic, I finally feel confident that I will maintain a low weight. Thus for the first time I am doing serious clothes shopping.

On Friday, most PBS stations will premiere the documentary King Of Them All: The Story Of King Records. The label recorded bluesmen Freddie King and Guitar Watson. Their biggest star was James Brown—if not for fog at O’Hare, delaying Len Chess, Brown would have signed with Chess.

@HalfAcreBeer This sold out in less than one minute. That’s happened for previous releases also. Something’s not right. How much did you release online?

@daveweigel Yeah, I need to add in his stuff with Zappa too, but I'm pretty confident the observed trend holds up.

Sorry to report that the Taylor Swift album does not appeal to me, personally, a 44-year old man who has every Adrian Belew album on CD.

It’s shout-out your favorite Chicago blues musician day. It can be any blues artist who has ever cut a side or headlined a club date. Living or dead. Any era. Band leader or side player. So, who do you love?

@ChiBluesHistory In addition to being a great musician, Broonzy was one of the most important people on the history of blues and rock.

@jewelosco @Kimberl24391237 @chicagobars Requiring the instore app to get coupon deals is terrible. It’s a pain to use and half the time it doesn’t work. Today the produce manager told me that even he can’t get it to work regularly. He recommended taking a picture of the sale price and showing the phone to the cashier.

I spent $79 on one large bag of groceries at @jewelosco and that didn’t include any fancy protein or alcohol. People are going to be plenty pissed by midterms if inflation keeps climbing at this rate.

The middle-class squeeze from tariffs is here. Inflation hit 2.9% in August, the highest since January and up from 2.3% in April. It’s troubling that so many basic necessities are rising in price again: Food, gas, clothing and shelter all had big cost jumps in August. And this is only the beginning. Here are some items directly impacted by tariffs: Coffee +21% from last August Audio equipment +12% Living and dining room furniture +10% Tools +6% Jewelry/watches +6% Women's dresses +6% / men's pants +4% Toilet paper +5% Musical instruments +5% Photo equipment +5% More to come in the months ahead.
