And now Ellis Marsalis has died. Fuck this disease, and fuck everyone who made it worse. I'm going to bed.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Is it weird that I've been thinking about Rachel Bloom a lot? I mean, she just had a baby this week! And now her friend died? That seems like too much to put together any week.
I'm listening to an awesome New Wave set from local DJ Gregarious at The Liquor Store here in PDX -- it is so great, just perfectly upbeat. I'm dancing in my living room. ;)
Fuck, John Prine died.
It's so sad. He lived in Nashville and was so beloved here. Hard to believe he's gone.
He had an incredible life and a remarkable career.
In some good news, X has released a new album from the original lineup, Alphabetland, which is streaming online.
RIP, Little Richard.
Good golly.
I "maybe I'm an idiot" news, it never occurred to me that Little Richard was gay.
Yeah, same kind of idiot over here. Never even considered it.
