#RIPOzzy Of course I'll have a bit to say and a few #BlackSabbath songs to share on #FridayNightRockParty this week. The Guardian's #AlexPetridis thoughts on the late artist
are as good a career summation as I've read or heard.

Having escaped a life of drudgery in Birmingham, Ozzy became the rare rock frontman you could relate to – and then, against the odds, a national treasure

My curse is that even while I could be thinking of a zillion Beach Boys songs right now I’ve got “Brian Wilson” by the Barenaked Ladies stuck in my head.

I liked #SlyandTheFamilyStone before I heard them on the Woodstock soundtrack after that I loved them. My first gig was Sly Greensboro Coliseum in 1972. They had already began the decline by then (40 mins late + unscheduled break) but they were my first gig #RIPSlyStone

Hadn't seen @bobmouldmusic.bsky.social in quite while so it was a real treat to see him still killing it along with current band members @jasonnarducy.bsky.social & @jonwurster.bsky.social at #WorldCafeLive in Philadelphia last night. #NonComm #XPN

As #TheAlarm really were one of my fave acts of the 80's
I'll post Mike's NYT obit for those who can access it.

#RIPMikePeters I think I had heard of #TheAlarm before accidentally seeing them do "The Stand" on American Bandstand in 1983. LOVED'EM! Met Mike briefly SXSW'05 in chance meeting on street. Got to mention that & seeing them
in NC 2004. Very friendly guy.
