I watched the Led Zeppelin doc and I realized one of the main reasons they are so great is because of Page and Jones' experience playing on/arranging like every UK pop record for several years before deciding what it was *they* wanted to play. No way to fake that

RIP Steve Cropper. A guitar player for the ages. One of his lesser-known credits is a bit of guitar on Big Star’s Third/Sister Lovers. Apparently Alex Chilton’s weird druggy depressive vibes scared him and he stood outside the room to record his licks

I used to read constantly. Now I just don’t have the time or space in my life for it. Maybe I will again some day. I didn’t know it at the time but I was front-loading my life with literature. Glad I did!

We checked out Crystal Grottoes cave near Sharpsburg, MD. It’s been decades since I’ve been in a cave, I used to explore wild caves as a kid/teen. Since the Appalachians are made of limestone, there are many caves around where I grew up. A fair amount have been turned into tourist spots like this

RIP Jimmy Cliff. The Harder They Come is one of my favorite movies. My dad showed it to me when I was a kid and of course I instantly fell in love with the music and the outlaw story, it’s a perfect movie. JC’s singing is unparalleled, heavy reggae soul. He has now crossed the last river

Shut up squares weed has no downsides
It's possible to get addicted to pot. Here's what to know
Doctors say it's possible to get hooked on pot. There's a widespread misconception that marijuana is not addictive, and it's expanded as a growing number of states legalize pot.

I posted our recent album MF on reddit for a lark. The sole comment:
"Ok...well...for me....the recording quality is lacking, I found it a little quiet and lacking any moments or dynamics. Sorry."

I've long felt that there's no reason to hate on any member of The Dead, it's a vast tapestry and why not just embrace it all. But I feel like this goes hardest for Donna Jean, who I will always think of as "the Christian Linda Sharrock" and like all women in rock was hated mostly due to misogyny

“Krautrock” was very informed by a generation of young people reckoning with the atrocities their parents committed or at least didn’t actively resist
