Watching Daisy Jones and the Six on prime, with its intro making me think about:
Carmen (excerpts) on public radio
Iāve been listening to a tribute to Chris Strachwitz, founder of the Arhoolie record label, tonight.
He was a big part of the Berkekey Folk Music festivals among other talents. Mr. Strachwitz recently passed over to the great gig in the sky at the age of 91.
Note the bass player, and Buckaroosā Tom Bromley taking James Burtonās role:
EC is God!
Counterpoint: EC is an old racist and antivax whackjob.
I like āCocaineā and āLaylaā as much as a the next guy, but heās put his foot in it a number of times over the course of his career and his good will is just about used up.
Pretty much any nice song is ruined by being played into the ground. And EC is indeed an idiot.
Well, politics be damned, but I like EC. I think we can seperate art from the artist. Most artists are douchy in one way or other.
I will never listen to MJ again, thatās for sure. Thankfully, Iāve never been a huge fan, so itās not been a hardship.
I feel the same about MJ, but he doesnāt pop up on any of my playlists. I donāt tolerate racists, but Iāve never heard or read that Eric Clapton is racist. I know about the anti-vax stuff, but he had a terrible reaction to the vaccine, and is lucky to still be able to play guitar.
I still listen to Thriller, though thatās at least as much a Quincy Jones/Toto album as a MJ album.
