The Boston Globe's rock critic of 30 years, recently retired. He wrote a piece for the Sunday Globe's Magazine, on some of the highlights of his career. It was a fun read. I thought people might enjoy: [link]
I like the ruffles.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I'm sorry, but I found Steve Morse to be incredibly narrow minded in his musical tastes. He always was way too slow to come around to anything new that sounded different from the classic rock he grew up with.

OK, I just read the article. He writes, re: John Lennon, "I still wonder what rock 'n' roll would be like if he were alive today." Oh, please. I also cried the morning I learned he had died, but Double Fantasy was hardly groundbreaking. He would have continued to write some great songs, but he wouldn't have changed the face of music.
Boy, I'm curmudgeonly today, ain't I?

You're just upset that Bono never crashed one of your parties.

Or that Steve never invited me....
Hey! That means I have something in common with Bono!

Other than the sunglasses and Nobel Prize nomination?

I suspect Bono has also donned silver pleather at some point in his life as well.

Art Crawl!!!
Part of me wants to say, "Shine on Harvest Moon," but another part of me thinks it's something from the 70s.
Is it sung in a fairly high pitch?
