Just learned of the passing of Chris Rea. Really loved the guy. A very special talent. Got pretty much everything he released and talked extensively about his work (especially when I was on X). One album I forgot is Auberge, released in 1991. Superb record. Still a great listen. RIP.

When 1989’s Road to Hell did well, his US record label thought he could be a huge star in America if he put the hours touring or appeared on MTV Unplugged; Chris Rea declined both. He didn't have much time for other rock stars, claiming the only one who didn’t disappoint him was David Gilmour.
Despite his knack for slick pop, the principled and passionate Chris Rea never took the easy road
The late musician bristled against his record companies, his producers and fame itself – but that friction ignited both his AOR hits and his raw, spirited take on the blues

I had watched the coming-of-age weepie over and over growing up so it was an overwhelming experience to sit down with its creator and see it again. It was a magical day and he was just as warm-hearted as his movie

For all the #FuckMAGA who are cheering and writing disgusting comments celebrating the tragic death of Rob Reiner, here is a video of Reiner’s gracious and unifying comments upon the murder of Charlie Kirk.

You should watch it.
