Sure, but there has been an awful lot of uncalled for Bootsauce mockery over the years from various corners of the FOTM universe, LOL!!😆🐃😹

😍🔥 Good for you, and since I feel like an absolute monster every other day o the year, well, I solemnly promise to pose as a functional human being on October 31st!!😇 P.S., it looks like I have some serious homework ahead of me because I haven't got a bleeping clue!!😳🐮

Great photo!!😂🔥 And perhaps it's just me, but I would much prefer an entire month of spooky 🎃 jams versus the seemingly-interminable radio hell that Toronto's CHFI turns into after the Santa Claus parade in mid-November, LOL!!😱😈 Yeah, I don't have to listen, but every bloody business pumps it out!!😆

Very sad to read this news but I know that he had been dealing with some serious health issues for quite some time now.😥 ...And so later on tonight I will listen to his excellent debut solo album Natural Avenue (1977) in his honour!!🔥 R.I.P😐

Madonna's legendary Virgin tour in 1985 with the then-little-known Beastie Boys as the opening act (they were booed off!!😂👊) and I skipped my class trip to Wash., D.C. in order to attend!!😍🙌

This was an album that my much older cousin left behind when he moved out (along with Headquarters) and that's how I had my first exposure to the 🐒🐒!😂 Anyway, it is a great album featuring songs by the top songwriting talent of the era plus the Wrecking Crew!!☺️ Last Train to... and their Theme 🎶=😀!🔥

A landmark Prog Rock album and a stone cold musical masterpiece to boot, with excellent use made of the Mellotron and tricky time signatures!!🔥 Plus 21st Century Schizoid Man😳 is my favourite song from this bold release!!👏

It is a good album but some of their seemingly newfound love for Americana is laid on somewhat thick, IMO, LOL!!😂 All I Want Is You😍, Desire, Angel of Harlem and Van Diemen's Land are all great tracks!!😇
