Open up Blonde on Blonde and there's a full-size Bob!
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas made this record click for me, as Hunter S. Thompson hears it and feels the same amphetamine psychosis Bob Dylan felt.
Happy 59th bday to this gem.

5 years already since Bob Dylan released Rough and Rowdy Ways.
I never felt more in-the-know than when I heard Key West's opening lines, taken right from *White House Blues*—probably Charlie Poole's version.
Maybe next year I'll have this one on vinyl 😎

Rest Easy, Sly.
Sly Stone was a musical genius in every sense—single-handedly pushing soul music to the forefront of countercultural protest and pioneering funk and proto-hip hop in the process. Sadly, with that genius came some demons.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers released *Hard Promises* 44 years ago today
Tom proved he was a man of the people with this one, threatening to name the record *Eight Ninety-Eight* if the distributors raised the price to $9.98. The world needs more of his energy.

Love how he plays with light and color in the lyrics:
*Put on your red shoes
Dance the blues
While color lights up your face

Tom’s in a lot of pain on this record, going through divorce and heroin addiction. But man did it fuel some amazing songs.

But, he’s the reason I and many others picked up guitar, and a big help in keeping the legacy of older blues artists alive.
