Stop fucking saying the media is being “manipulated” by Donald Trump. It's not. He's not that smart. The media is being “produced” by the same people who fucking own him. And none of them care about the fucking truth. Fuck.

On March 23, 1973, Lou Reed played in Providence at the Palace [now PPAC]. Bruce Springsteen was the opening act [$4.50 adv/$5 DOS]. [I was @ the afternoon soundcheck; Bruce played a bit of the Cascades' 'Rhythm of the Rain' on piano before the band showed up.]

In The Rock 3/22/1970: The Chicago Tribune publishes the first known use of the phrase "punk rock". In an interview, Ed Sanders, co-founder of the Fugs described his first solo album as "punk rock – redneck sentimentality".

What's Up? -- 4 Non Blondes

A *superb* selection of tracks and insightful elucidation/appreciation/enthusiasm; I just spent a wonderful hour reading/listening, it'd been too long [three weeks?] since my latest Freedy dive....

Wrote about an absolute favorite singer-songwriter of mine, Freedy Johnston, for No Fences Review. Freedy fans of the world, unite! (And, if you don't know Johnston's work... You're welcome.)

Happy 84th birthday to John Cale, and happy 8400th listen to one of my fave albums.....

Bought some records in Philly [three A&Ms] and Bill was waiting for me when I got back [I have a well-worn/unplayable Dusty from my formative years, was thrilled to find a near-mint reissue for $5!]

Years ago, on a whole ‘nother website, I crowdsourced this playlist in honor of daylight savings open.spotify.com/playlist/4xi...

Mary Chapin Carpenter and the Mountain Goats covering World Party is not something I knew I needed or ever expected to exist, but by God, it's good... themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/album/put-th...
