Buyer and seller of old stuff (#Booth12). Out of bounds in the Land of Steady Habits. Minor league music snob. If you get confused, listen to the music play.
Come to me now
You know we're so alone
And life is brief

7: Guitar

Brothers In Arms / Dire Straits (85)

Why worry?
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?

7: Hat

Desire / Bob Dylan (76)

Watching Rolling Thunder Revue (Martin Scorsese) at this very moment. So cool to hear these songs performed live. 70s Bob is my favorite Bob! Photographed in Plymouth, MA, where the tour kicked off.

My Pick: Isis

6: Flowers

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / The Beatles (67)

It made its debut 2 weeks after yours truly. Just thought I'd highlight this obscure album that barely anyone has heard.

My pick: She's Leaving Home

5: Eagle/Bird

Sky Blue Sky / Wilco (07)

Embracing the situation
Is our only chance to be free
Oh, I'll side with you
If you side with me

4: Drink

But Seriously, Folks... / Joe Walsh (78)

Is Life's Been Good Joe's solo masterpiece? 🤔 Could be. But I also love this one. If you know me, you know I love this guy to pieces.

3: Cigarette

Body and Soul / Joe Jackson (84)

There are a few gems on this album, but for me, none can surpass its biggest hit, You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want). All hail Graham Maby on bass. 🙌🏻

2: Building

Terrapin Station / Grateful Dead (77)

While the firelight's aglow
Strange shadows from the flames will grow
'Til things we've never seen
Will seem familiar

1: Aircraft

Never Say Die! / Black Sabbath (78)

The last hurrah for Sabbath 1.0 gave us a great album cover and a great, high-energy title track that sounds like it was banged out in someone's garage (that's a good thing).

I saw this folder at a junky consignment shop today with a list of what I presume were this long-ago kid's favorite bands/artists. What 3 from this list are you writing on your school notebook? 😃 Mine:
"The Zeppelin" 😆
Pink Floyd
Neil Young

They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
