Some old time time country by another unknown, the IMO great songwriter, Chris Gaffney.
From Bobs latest, a great blues shuffle type song, Goodbye Jimmy Reed
It's Labor Day, here's a couple for the working man. Workingmans Blues #1 and 2.

WOrkingmans Dead, forgot about that.
I've been listening to a lot of Jackson Browne lately. Beyond timely.
If you get a chance to see Jackson Brown ALONE in concert--no band, just him on a stage with a piano and about 30 different guitars--go see it. It's something else. He's done that twice in Bakersfield, and he walked out on stage looking like he was apprehensively attending a Trump rally, but that's not the kind of crowd he draws and his music stands on its own, doesn't need the full rock star treatment. Closed with his song "I am a Patriot."

Love Merle, saw him performing with his son and other band members a year before he died. We were three rows from the stage, and unlike Frank Sinatra he still had his voice. But he wouldn't come out for an encore, which irked me. The crowd knew it was a special night.
Sounds like any era Springsteen.

Yup, I was a big fan back in the day, 70's thru the mid 80's. Saw him a half a dozen times, never disappointed. I still like that Bruce.
Cant say anything after 1990 did anything for me.
It's gonna be a long 45 days till the election, we all will need shelter from the storm, Lucky at his best,
I love so many of Bob’s songs, but this one just has a hold on me.
Was never a big AC DC fan, but Back in Black is an excellent rock and roll album.
ZZ Top Tres Hombres is another one. That band might be the only thing decent to originate from Texas. Although, much like REM their newer more recent stuff is an abomination.
Marvin Gaye Whats Going On is one of my favorites too.
Was lucky to come of age though in the late 80s and early 90s. From hip hop to grunge to ska so many kick ass tunes and albums during that time. But I’ll always have a soft spot for the punk related groups like Bad Religion and Agent Orange and Fugazi and Black Flag and Bad Brains. Guess it all ties back to skateboarding (or most of it anyway). Skate videos back in the day were the best.
One of my personal highlights was running into and skating with Christian Hosoi at the Huntington Beach skate park (modified pools more or less) back in the mid 90s.
One silver lining of the pandemic is that I discovered a shit ton of new music. Some of my faves recently:
That’s good shit, Maynard. Listen to the first 3 and was hooked.

Kaelan Mikla and Drab Majesty, a lot of Bjork/The Cure happening.
Otto has a lot going on there. That's the best I could do for Otto.
I guess Robert Smith handpicked Kaelan Mikla to play for the Cure's 40th birthday party or something.
I ran into this guy on Youtube who does, what I think, are excellent short documentary pieces.
Does college radio even exist anymore?

The Summit- Akron, OH is pretty good independent radio. WMUH-Allentown is still kicking after 35-40 years. Wasn't there a really good Appleton station at one time? I think stations are still out there, but the landscape definitely has changed.
Watched a great interview with Joe Walsh a week ago. He talked about the recording process and how pristine it's become, and how the more perfect the recording, the less mojo/passion it has.
Have you ever checked out Record Store Day?
It's a great homage! The whole album is very solid. Two Discwashers way up!
Go see these guys before they start dropping. Truly excellent playing.

Okay, the woman roller skating at the end makes the whole video.
