Let's kick some non-violent ass out there today. On that note maybe remember many of the authorities or hopefully at least some you see today don't know what is happening in the country either. Maybe we change a few minds.

Kind of dreary out so turtleneck time it is. Say, let's see what the lads are doing. Something new pops out each time I listen to this record. Harmonies abound.

Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain. A top "cure all" #record for what's ailing your mind. Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore seems pretty relevant today. They're trying to make #AI your new best friend. Find one here.

Not many of the organ giants left but if you want to see something special in #chicago head over to the Green Mill and catch Chris Foreman solo on Friday afternoon's. Great martini! Start the weekend here then #nokings down to Grant Park on Sat!

Sight unseen I grabbed the tour video "In Berlin" and convinced a few friends to come over and rock out but he opened with Transformer Man. Became a running joke for a few years but these sounds are all over modern production these days. Mr. Soul version is one of my favorites. We live and learn

Came across this record in the 90's and man I didn't get it. Had just lived through the 80's and wanted no part of it. Was in my jean jacket and weed phase. Now this record sounds as relevant as ever. Sorry I doubted you Neil. We good?

Jimmy and I (Los Dos) were playing a mashup of Girl from Ipanema/Brain Damage at a bar in East Austin years ago when Robert Plant walked in. He stopped, turned around and gave us the "nod". Was it approval? Still going with f@#k yeah

Other end of the sonic spectrum yesterday's selection but equally excellent with #coffee on a Sunday morning. Keep your emotional powder dry while also keeping the peace everyone. It's going to be a long week #chicago

Rise and shine cupcakes! Strong #coffee and odd time signatures, one way to sally forth and seize the day. Maybe odd step it down to the #record store and buy this if you don't own it already.

First riff I learned was the old man down the road. Has 80's production but still a swampy vampy feel. Our friend was his son's baseball instructor. Kept a voicemail of John calling to say he'd be late dropping him off to practice. Cool

Quite a stir was caused the day a classmate brought her Prince record to class. Something you did back then. Teacher of course questioned how anyone could find this cover sexy as she held it for all to see immediately creating a class full of fans.

Not parka weather yet but a cool breeze just blew through #chicago. I'll be ready Paul. Playing this record will 100% keep you warm. Promise. "Peace Like a River". Let's get on it folks. Fabulous guitar work here amongst the hits.

I dig a trio. Lot's of heavy lifting. Nowhere to hide. Feel like hiding right now but now is not the time. Here's some heavy lifting to keep you going.

Folks, I'm a lifelong Yanks fan. Watched games on Saturday's with my Granddad back in 70's MS. That's how fandom happens. Reggie also had a candy bar. Two strong forces. Currently would rather see NRBQ on the field. Couldn't hurt.

There you were, just where I thought you would be. Gave my last copy to the GM of the minor league team I worked for. He would play Elvin over the loudspeaker before and after the games. $1 has you Juke Joint Jumpin'! Thanks! #rattlebackrecords

Passive-aggression through song is sometimes how I communicate with my dad. Here's an example. Had to use a Civil War reenactment and a mass shooting to get the point across but sometimes that's what it takes.

We are going to be living in Taylor's world for a bit and I'm okay with that but maybe carve out a little time for the Sir Douglas Quintet. This one is out of print but lot's to choose from out there. What Would Doug Do? Why ask, just do it.

Many a neck-tie headband nights spent "regaling" neighbors to this one. "Rite-of-passage" #record for me. Maybe exercise that "rite" while you still can. Start today. Machine gun bad, love good, and we got to live together. Simple stuff.

Walking past Johnny Winter in the #blues section of our store my mother exclaims to all, "That guy was a real F'n A**hole!"
Hmmm. Backstory, he was a rock and roll running buddy of my dad of origin back in the day and Jean was decidedly not a fan.

Not available on streaming so go buy it and wear it proudly on your head like a hat because you now own it. A girl I hardly knew has my first copy. "Can I borrow this? Not much else you can say other than sure and hope it returns. Neither did.

Was a breath of fresh air for a young sailor assigned to a ship in dry dock. Hopefully groups realize they help folks get through miserable experiences. No way to listen to it without memories of wafting paint and welding fumes creating a soundtrack.

Like trying to get an 8yr old to like blue cheese sometimes things just have to hit you at the right time. Beer and a shot bar one afternoon across from Wrigley and this album clicked. No need to look under the hood for answers. It just happens, maybe

Saw a ridiculously bad Apple movie last night with a total miss of a soundtrack. Karma gods put this record in my hands this morning. This is how you do it. "Groove is in the Heart" pulled from here. Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Herbie Hancock....

Not sure I've come across one of these records that isn't worn out a bit. Understandable. Now I'm worn out a bit, also understandable. Miles trained as a boxer. This album feels like it. Bobs, weaves, then strikes. Good training for us all.
