Like the Rolling Stones

The station I listen to most is playing an day Rolling Stones party fest. The Stones have soooooo many songs. I actually have so much to do but just feel like driving around in the car with the windows down singing loud. I don't always care for everything they put out. Some of their countrified songs don't always go down with a spoon of sugar but damn do they rock it when they want it. Exile on Mainstreet is a favorite that my sister and I bought in a small record shop in San Luis Obisbo. It held us over on our rushes up the PCh taking in the wild beauty of Big Sur and the charisma that is San Fran. To be honest I never knew all the names to the songs on Exile I just loved the sound the vibe. "Shake Your Hips Baby" stands out. "Rip Roaring Joint' also. I like to move. I like to sing loud. I guess I like Noise. My favorite song this year and there are so many is "Life To Fix" The Record Company borrows some Stones noise making ideas. I feel the raunch and motion in their songs. The Stones have it all together. I sort of wish they would stop touring because Mick and Keith have not aged well. Craggy bottom boys. They just have so much damn diversity it's freaking amazing. and Mick while no I don't want to see your face gracing the mags sorry dude but the amoun t of energy he possesses in his 70s. Come on kids today couldn't keep up. So we have Greta Van Fleet as the Led doppleganger who is swooping in to give us a 2018 taste of the Stones. Who I ask who? I will be your groupie.

Song of the day - The Big Swirl - Barney Cortez

Wild opening sequence draws you in with a sweep of psychedelic, cowboy energy. barney favors Stetson looks btw. Eclectic guitar riffs match the lyrical sass and elegant horn accouterments. Barney comes at you with silky smooth vocals that belie the hard truth as he tells a little story about his journey. He thought he should call this track Runaway but The Big Swirl spews intrigue. He sing about being a coke a cola freak and the failure trap. So he Runs away. "The Big Swirl" emanates from a song by "Sir Rockaby", Frank Black tune. The particular use of the term moved Barney. He told me, " " It's what he calls the sky and the universe and I came to use the phrase as the spectrum of human emotions and experience. Sort of like a rebirth." This is deep and poignant kind of like much of Barney's music and though process. Barney imparts a casual vibe but his songs are ripe with world wariness. He has a groovy vibe sport
