I've always been a "band" guy myself & I prefer the new version over the solo acoustic original.

The Long Ryders deserve to be more famous than they are. Thanks for giving them a boost.

NEW BLOG POST: Read all about Patsy Cline's appearances on Arthur Godfrey's old 1950s TV show. CD includes a classless on-air comment he made about her legs. Even if you're not a fan, you may find this post interesting from a historical POV. Even If you don't normally read my blog, please read this.

I thought new Mads had been discontinued a few years back except for special editions. I also heard that they would issue some with new covers but old material. Was I wrong or did they reverse course? Can you set the fans, like me, straight? Thank you.

I agree. Here I make a case that Simon is better than Bob Dylan

You took my choice, so I'll go with Alfred E. Newman.

WOW! A bit over the top.

White Sox fans too.

New column from me This time the Phillies can’t run it back. Not after another season of beautiful dreams ended in the most painful, most unfathomable way possible, even by Phillies standards. www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...

Never saw Neil, but I saw CSN at the Mann without him. I've seen Jackson Brown 6 times, 3 of them at the Mann.

Sad news. Good band.

This is a picture of an ice cream, baked potato sundae. Would you eat this? My wife found it in Traveler Magazine.

An interview Graham Parker and I conducted for The Hustle podcast about my book, Graham Parker’s Howlin’ Wind, has been posted: #rockandroll #Britishrock #singersongwriter #guitarist #pubrock

I almost never get involved with anything political, & it has nothing to do with Bari's politics or her qualifications for the job. Your post is ridiculous. Do you know how many white women wear large hoop earrings? My wife has, & no one has ever accused her of appropriation. 1/2

This is one of their best song. Simply wonderful. I wrote more about it here.

Mostly a great but weird album. Exception: I've always hated Benny & the Jets.

One of the funniest TV characters of all time. I laughed constantly at Hyacinth.

@kdgmp.bsky.social NEW BLOG POST: Read about & listen to songs from the first solo album form California country star KP Hawthorne. She's out of the mainstream but very good.

There’s absolutely a case for Sarah McLachlan to be inducted into the RRHOF as a performer on the strength of her music, but as the Lilith Fair doc shows you could make just as strong a case for her as a non-performer (and the sports HOF term of « builder » would be absolutely fitting).

My wood stove is ready for Saturday night. This is a rally towel from the game that Rhys Hoskins hit his famous bat-spike HR with a replica of the Harry Kalas statue found at the stadium. A Charlie Manuel bobblehead is on the right. In the background is a carboard cutout of Connie Mack stadium.

Here's the September 2025 music IN MEMORIAM.

30 September 1991: Paul McCartney’s seventh solo studio album, Choba B CCCP, is released in the UK. The album contains cover versions from the 1940s to the 1960s, plus the traditional folk song Midnight Special. See more: www.beatlesbible.com/people/paul-...

NEW BLOG POST: I saw The Jayhawks in concert last night. Here are my thoughts.

WHY?????? You're ridiculous.

NEW BLOG POST: A rerun from 2015 that was updated & reposted as an ALMOST HITS entry.

This sounds like an interesting book. It's geared toward UK acts so the USA may have less reason to read it. It's about the records that were flops by major stars like The Beatles and The Bee Gees. A really nice article.

A tragic side to talent. www.culturesonar.com/karen-carpen...

Here are my top 10 fall dogs!

Very sad & huge news in Philadelphia sports. I wonder if WIP will break their Eagles coverage long enough to even give it a mention. We all know that the station would rather discuss how the Eagles 3rd-string long snapper will affect their playoff chances this year than a big story like this one.

Here's a review about her biography from last year written by her daughter.

I can easily ignore pumpkin spice, and I absolutely despise having to clean up leaves every fall so they must go. They're a nuisance. How about you?

Always disgusting album covers.🤑

I just looked & I'm blocked by 10 people. I have no clue why. I'm about 90% music with a little bit of baseball. I'm actually shocked.

How do you know how many people have blocked you? I've no idea if anyone is blocking me or not & for what reason? Is it because of the "You're Hired" covers? I know it's not your account but why would anyone block Caturday? If you don't like the account, just don't follow it?

But I did hear that Babs and he didn't get along during the filming of The Way We Were. Glad there are no grudges.
