John Prine’s final years come vividly to life in Living in the Present—a heartfelt new book from Tom Piazza born from a road trip, a friendship, and stories only he could tell. A must-read for every fan. zurl.co/M7FEq

Tom Piazza's New Book ‘Living in the Present with John Prine’ Offers Intimate Portrait of Late Songwriting Legend - That Eric Alper

In the spring of 2018, Tom Piazza climbed into a 1977 Coupe de Ville with the great singer-songwriter John Prine to write an article for the Oxford American.

As meaningless a five stars Rolling Stone has ever issued. At this point, Taylor Swift's albums are only judged against other Taylor Swift albums. She's her own genre. Five stars compared to what, Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark? I don't think so.

There are people who hate mayonnaise?

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 10d

Mayonnaise is perhaps the most polarizing condiment humanity has yet to whip up. But love it or hate it, it’s an undeniable culinary marvel. We tested 25 jars of mayonnaise to find the best. nyti.ms/3VEdQuh

Kind of Blue is only Sunday morning music if you mean 3 a.m. Coffee ritual? More like smack ritual. And Neil Young did not make After the Gold Rush for it to "linger in the background." Southern Man isn't exactly built for Starbucks playlists.

From folk hymns and jazz standards to indie classics and lush dreamscapes, here are 30 albums—alphabetized for easy browsing—that […]
