Patti Smith's "Horses" was released 50 years ago today. For the Wall Street Journal, I wrote about the album on its 30th anniversary.

Grateful to Meredith Anthony and "Deadly Pleasures" for the glowing review of my "A Song for Katy Shayne." She says it's "poignant and full of heart, intriguing and deeply satisfying," praising it as "real and engaging and exciting." My sinister riff on Steely Dan delighted her. Grade: A.

Van Morrison turns 80 today. At his best, he was untouchable. We spoke a few times across the years. He was feisty, but fine.
I once asked him who he thought would like a particular album he’d made. He said he thought it would appeal to the people it appealed to.
