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.

Sam Belanger - Lead Vocals/Rhythm Guitar Jake Robinson - Bass Guitar/Vocals Brad McNeil - Drums/Vocals Cole Saunders - Lead Guitar What's up with the band name?  – “Our singer came up with it about 3 years ago.

Justin Townes Earle will be sorely missed. Thank you.

Demons descend in order to hold you down. Demons can be kicked. Demons will return. It is not the fault of those who continue to welcome them back in their life.  Justin Townes Earle battled since he was 12. He once mentioned he couldn't believe he was 12 and shooting up every day. The underrated stellar song writer and guitar slinger was an acquired taste. He spoke the truth. If you were able to get  mentally tough enough not to look away you can understand the pain underneath his melancholy yet gorgeous offerings. A son, a songwriter, a new husband and the father of 2 year old, Etta. Breaks my already cracked heart that she will be denied some time with her Dad.  Middle named for his Dad's mentor for alt country music, the original badass , Townes Van Zandt, Justin had his issues with his Dad, Steve. But you know he loved him.   He sang a lot about his mother who tended to look the other way when he fked up.(Mama's Eyes")   "I am my fathers son/I ain...
