Showing endless gratitude for the eternal Lyric & Melody.
Yesterday Todd Snider passed away. Tonight I poured myself a drink and pulled East Nashville Skyline off off the shelf. Inside was a hand written note I swear, cross my heart, wasn’t there before. Honest to god. Then I sat in front of my speakers and cranked up the volume for “Play a Train Song.” 💔

To the vice president, men — like the one who worked for Kansas AG Kris Kobach — are men until they do something stupid. Women are women from conception. A new guest commentary from Jess Piper:

This is Lyric. A more wondrous, loving thing never touched the earth. She brought joy and happiness everywhere she went and put a smile on the face of everyone who saw her. Truly the ultimate super power for a true super hero. The world is a lesser place now. The goduverse much, much greater.

I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Turns out Martha Stewart is more gangsta than Snoop!
Snoop Dogg says he's 'scared to go to the movies' after bringing his grandson to 2022's 'Lightyear,' which features a lesbian couple. 'They're putting it everywhere,' he said of LGBTQ+ representation.

I’m a possum, and I’m not here to cause trouble. In fact, I help more than you think. Every night, I can eat up to 2,000 ticks, along with other bugs that carry diseases. I also help control snakes, even the venomous ones.

One of the great things about Punk and early Rap/Hip Hop was how mad some people would get when you told them how great it was. Good times indeed. I asked Robert Christgau about the Angry Samoans, the most outrageous band ever and he answered. Pretty cool!
Looking forward to what that immaterial motherfucker AI has to say about the August 2025 edition of Xgau Sez robertchristgau.substack.com/p/xgau-sez-a...
Xgau Sez: August, 2025
Thoughts on AI, advice to young critic, the Angry Samoans as dinner music, "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" as ASMR, the road to humane politics, and 21 Louis Armstrong albums in no particular order.

Sadness in the air this morning with the passing of Terence Stamp. Mid 60s London seems unimaginable without him. Pictured here with Jean Shrimpton his girlfriend at the time.

Fascinating read. More about human behavior, our relationship with food, and how that permeates every step of our interaction with it right down to the scientific level. It’s not exactly rocket science but if we try hard enough we can make it appear to be.
Dozens of studies in recent years have linked ultra-processed fare to health problems such as high blood pressure and heart attacks, and also to some problems that one might not expect: cancer, anxiety, dementia, and early death.
Why Is the American Diet So Deadly?
A scientist tried to discredit the theory that ultra-processed foods are killing us. Instead, he overturned his own understanding of obesity.

The beautiful woman in this fabulous photo is Thelma Bynem (aka Linda Martell) an American rhythm and blues/country singer. She released singles, a full length record, and played the Grand Ole Opry a dozen times. After music she took a job helping teach disabled children. A life well played.
