Thanks, dude! One of my favorite Neil tracks, from a favorite Neil album. I love that he plays the same note as part of the solo in the studio version for like 20 seconds or something.

Did you think he was older or younger? When I see someone Mars's age - your age - my brain is like "we're probably around the same age, I'm just a little older" lol. Time does not stop marching, but my brain pretends I'm younger. Probably a survival mechanism.

Silk Sonic - Leave the Door Open

Bruno Mars is celebrating a birthday today! Born in '85! What!? That, uh, makes me feel old.

The Silk Sonic album is all sorts of fun. I like this track a lot.

Kool & The Gang - Celebration

Robert "Kool" Bell is celebrating a birthday today! Founding member and bass player, he is the last surviving member. I used to thump this out on bass when my son was young, and he really responded to it.

Nice. Love ABB. They are truly part of the reason we got a Carter administration. Early and important supporters of his presidential campaign.

At the top of my list, too! I've been listening to it since high school - a long time ago! - and the whole album still feels fresh with every new listen.

Nice! Let me grab my Def Leppard Pyromania tape and pop it in! (which is what this pic made me think of - rocking Pyromania in my (smaller) boombox in the 8th grade.) Good times!

I considered posting this one! My brain was like "you're already posting a lot of Prince, though...". I listened to it again, though. Great funky track!
