Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma! 41 years ago today, The Dream Academy released 'Life in a Northern Town.' Produced by David Gilmour, the song became the band's biggest hit, reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 15 in the UK.

Just hit another of those weird things where two of my interests cause wires to be crossed. Saw a conversation about comics where someone was talking about Jan and Dean, and took me a second to realise they meant Jan and Dean Mullaney, founders of Eclipse Comics, not, you know, Jan and Dean.

Some personal news, as they say: My first book, CATCH THE DEVIL, comes out July 14! I’m hugely grateful to @nytimes.com for naming it as one of the books everyone will be talking about in 2026. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/b...

Have you listened to One by Willie?

The most significant contribution I've made to a single episode of @500songspodcast.bsky.social is to the Shakers bonus episode. They're great!

Do my ears deceive me or is this the indepth breakdown of A Quick One I’ve always dreamed of? Not quick at all. “Everyone is forgiven a thousand times over” bravo @500songspodcast.bsky.social “Cello cello cello” indeed.

Oh wow. This made my week. @sponglr.bsky.social is bringing back One By Willie for another season.

Gregg Alexander had one of the great gradual pop pivots, ending up as the one-hit-wonder in the bucket hat rhyming Hanson with Marilyn Manson after flopping with his 1989 attempt at sensitive-boy pop-rock

Well worth it. Fantastic podcast, every episode is a journey.

The other Beach Boys are feeding the goats. Mike Love, however, is suspicious of the goats. Mikes got some treats in his pockets, which he *could* give the goats, but, because he’s greedy and likes Mike Love far more than he could ever like goats, he’s decided to keep the treats for himself.

New Season: In “One by Willie,” Texas Monthly’s John Spong hosts intimate conversations with a range of prominent guests about the Willie Nelson songs that mean the most to them. www.texasmonthly.com/podcasts/ser...

New OBW: Ray Benson--a 50-year friend and collaborator--goes deep on Willie and the Wheel's cover of the Bob Wills classic, "Going Away Party"...sending a well-informed valentine to Wills, songwriter Cindy Walker, and of course Willie Nelson himself. Hear it here: bit.ly/3NBOGYG

I’m late to this one, @sponglr, but this was an incredible way to spend a Friday afternoon. Listening to One By Willie (S5 E4: Lawrence Wright on “Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die”) As always, thanks.

Met the legendary Willie Nelson tonight at Farm Aid. For 40 years, he has championed family farmers and tirelessly advocated for our rural communities. And he’s still going strong at 92!

@farmaid.org www.yahoo.com/news/article...

“Farmers are a unique breed, and very, very private people. We love to help our neighbors, but we don’t like talking about our own issues, especially health issues.” — Bob Worth, MN farmer He wants to remind farmers that help is a phone call away.

All of us at Farm Aid are thrilled that artist Shepard Fairey is bringing his distinctive artistic vision to the occasion of marking Farm Aid's 40th anniversary!
