Nicer drive, maybe? I love long drives, but I barely go to see my mom 125 miles away partly because the drive is boring

To be fair, so did Bowie. After that (and the propensity for hair dye and makeup, and being rich), though, the similarities pretty much end

I get it, it has a touch of that SNL style that made sax a sus instrument throughout the late 20th century college rock era. I fuck with that style, it doesn't get under my skin the same way, but as someone who immediately turns off horn-heavy music that gets too close to Zappa territory, I feel you

Oh man, politely agree to disagree on the sax! Generally love the Dead with sax, tbh; wish Branford Marsalis had played with them more in their later period (if more of his recordings sounded like 'Apollo at the Ritz', he'd be a fave and not just "the better Marsalis").

Here's my favorite recent Fred song (my all-time favorite is probably 2005's 'Susceptible to Ghosts', but I'm trying to keep at least a toe in the now): youtu.be/cNjHKti3nQ4?...

I mean, come on: without even thinking, we got Andre and Big Boi, Kendrick, Earl Sweatshirt, Joanna Newsom, Benoit Pioulard, Boots Riley, Liz Phair, Anna Waronker... I could go all day without touching the boomer canon and still never make it to her. GTFOH with that shit.
