Also still catching up. Enjoy new ones, and the old ones and the ones I that realize I am listening to for the second time!
I hope you get as much pleasure from making these as your listeners do from you creating them.

Beautifully staged. These things usually look so stupid- small stage dwarfed by a giant stadium. This was both spectacular and human sized. Community. Pride. Joy.
Don’t need to know Spanish to get that!

The Rodney Dangerfield of rock vocalists. No respect.

Amy is such a gift. I hold her music in my heart, but I’ve been neglecting that part of my heart for a while. Thanks for reminding me.

Fantastic episode.
I am a medium-ish Cat Steve a fan. Hard to deny his best songs. Interesting, complicated fellow. As always, I found your pod educational, entertaining, and occasionally, very funny!
(…”if they collected every denomination they could win fabulous prizes.”)

If he turns down the temperature, even a little, he gets the added benefit of a few more Democrats caving on upcoming funding budget fight.

This is two blocks from the first home I bought. Used to be a hardware store. Maybe a mile from George Floyd Square. The guy must be a mensch!

There was a time when I was a kid that you couldn’t find Rolling Stone. Maybeit was even before Rolling Stone. But there were magazines like Hullabaloo, and Teen Set. It seemed like every issue there was some sort of back-and-forth with Daltrey and Townsend being annoyed with each other, sniping .

My dad and my wife’s dad are both buried nearby at Fort Snelling. Both served in World War II. We are both glad that neither of them lived to see what is happening to our country right now.

My next door neighbor’s older brother has been exceptionally present and helpful as his sibling undergoes cancer treatments. Just woke up and saw that he not only shoveled his brother’s sidewalk, but mine as well. It’s a Minnesota thing!

Thank you for this! I hate that it is used this way, too! (And I did not even understand what the actual meaning is supposed to be until I read your post.)
Also it’s just so damn cynical! Any plea for coming together is to be mocked? Sick of that.

Try to be kind to yourself on the deadline thing.
It takes as much time as it takes.
The proof is in the pods!
And people who eagerly wait for new episodes must try to learn to be patient!
I’m glad this person wrote so well about how good and important your show is.

Lou Reed: Christgau is like an anal retentive.
Nice little boxes.
Can you image working for a fucking year,
and you get a B plus from an asshole in the village voice?

As you say, it is ‘a’ history, not ‘the’ history.
‘The’ history would be ridiculous and arrogant, imo.
It’s brilliant how some artists show up later than one might think, and why. Your choices around Leonard Cohen, for example. Can’t wait for- when will it be again- 2030 or so, for Hallelujah.

Did you see the protesters in Powderhorn Park who turned their cardboard signs into makeshift sleds and used them to slide down the hills? These are my people!
