Confessions of a Detroit drummer/multi-instrumentalist. Unsolicited hot takes on avant-garde jazz to pop. A musical whore typing into the void.

Wow, this didn’t age well. Franti has now cancelled all upcoming concerts, including a music cruise he hosts after severe backlash from very credible grooming and abuse allegations.

Just saw them for my second time two weeks ago. This is the album that really shows the power they bring live.

Yeah, but I bet it sounded amazing. I love that point an hour in to doing something completely insane like that, climbing out of the rabbit hole, and realizing I’ve created something utterly unique that I could never recreate in a million years.

George Michael also played bass on many of his own tracks in the studio.

Dude studied under THE James Jamerson. He also recorded with Elton John, Marvin Gaye, Annie Lennox and Tina Turner. Legend.

Being from California complicates that equation a bit.

But for me it’s more like Styx had great full albums. Even Toto’s best albums only had a couple great songs. The polished LA pop crap that Toto filled their albums with does not hold up well. Styx does. So I’ll vote with Chicago.
