People like Homan die when Thoughts And Prayers have meaningful effect.

(I got the opportunity to gargle Thom's vocals because it was in my range).

Dizzy Onaball @dizzyonaball.bsky.social · 15h

That's an excellent pick.

And the hair traffic controllers. They could refuse the extensions. You'd never see her again on TV.

Good choice. I forgot to mention that "disappointing gig = sack bassist" and
Signed by record company = "sack bassist"

tends to be the how it is, so being a critic (I was a freelance music hack) is a good fallback position.

I was somewhere between a foetus and a toddler at the time, so I wouldn't expect my suggestion to be in the top tray. Even now, I think it can be filed under "bin"

I'm perfectly unqualified to advise Jim Morrison on writing lyrics, but I visited his grave in Père LaChaise so he owes me one.

I wish the opening line were
🎶 Before you slip from consciousness🎵
instead of

🎶 Before you slip into unconsciousness🎵

because it's so languid and dreamy. Less syllables

Yes, Syd Barrett really lets go on that one. I'm a (not very good) bassist and I like how Waters (not the most technical bassist) and Mason hold the groove on Lucifer Sam so that Barrett can play that riff on top.
