I think those outbursts are long past,people change. But his refusal to acknowledge was present time.
TaIking old guys. I saw The Eagles last year and they were tremendous. Saw them the first time in 1974,backing up The Allman Brothers. Better now!!

Whatever one may think of Don Henley, he is a perfectionist. That they were so good does not surprise.
A few years ago,my cousin showed up at an exclusive benefit dinner for Walden Pond on a very snowy night. Only 6 people showed up,and Henley was one of them. She said he was wonderful company for 2 hours.

Salt and light
Building the Perfect Beast and, especially, The End of the Innocence are great records.

Boys of Summer is a Top 5 driving song of all time. Cape Cod, open top Jeep, cruising past the Truro dunes.

Maybe next year.
Blondie were really innovative. People think Green Day and Blink-182 created pop "punk," but Clem Burke was a punk drummer in a pop band that had psychedelic garage influences and whose biggest hits were a disco song, a reggae cover and a movie theme written by the English bass player. And fronted by an absolutely stunningly gorgeous woman who could really sing, too.The Ramones once hired him for two shows after their drummer quit, but passed on hiring him permanently. I like to think it's because he played too fast for The Ramones.
As for the Ramones, I have a chipped tooth from a stage dive gone awry at the Student Union Ballroom at UMass in 1985, which is a badge of enormous honor.

Debbie Harry was my first celebrity crush. I only saw her once, at The Channel. I've seen the Ramones 13 times, including their last show in NYC. But the only thing I got was a few t-shirts and tinnitus in my left ear from standing in front of Johnny's Marshal stack.

One of the greatest songs ever written, and it was not written by Mr. McManus. Nick Lowe is brilliant, but Elvis made it his own.

Everything he did is great. Breaking Glass, Marie Provost, I Knew the Bride. Awesome stuff. Him, Elvis, and Graham Parker are the soundtrack of my youth.
I frankly only know Nick from "Cruel to Be Kind" and some of his producing gigs. But I love the idea. At that time, it was either burnt out punk, or pre-new romantic poop.
Hail Nick,
Co-written, as Ladyfan doubtless knows, with Tom Petty & Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers, and a pitch perfect video to boot.
'84 was a great year for pop music.

Watched Get Back
Three takeaways
1. Incredible watching a song just grow from nothing to an all time classic
2. They were so unassuming- the whole Billy Preston dynamic was fantastic
3. Yoko Ono breaking up the Bestles is myth - 0.0…..that belongs to the egocentric asshat Allen Klein
Bonus
4. The clothes were amazing - and I can’t believe how much they smoked
5. Ringo I can see why every one loved - I liked it when he was messing with piano with George and the did Octopus Garden - a song I loved as a kid (and still do)
6. Linda Eastman was very attractive and their daughter appearance was entertaining- watching her with Ringo just enhanced what I thought of him
7. Klein doesn’t come in and Preston joins Beatles they would have created some of the greatest music

He also allegedly finished a number of Warren Zevon songs because Warren was too drunk to. Gotta meet those record company datelines.

Imo Lowe has two perfect albums in Jesus of Cool and Labour of Lust. Nutted by Reality is a fantastic song

I think it's as much the influence of Klein as the loss of Brian Epstein. They were clearly a completely rudderless ship without him. The sheer amount of noodling done during paid recording time is something he would never have tolerated, as one example. The total lack of decision-making on what to do for the movie is another. He never was as tight with the books as Klein, but he focused their creativity much more effectively. He also wasn't hated by Paul McCartney, as Klein was. If he lived, maybe they get his artistic guidance married with Klein's financial acuity? Maybe Paul doesn't want his soon-to-be in laws to manage the money?
But it was DEFINITELY NOT Yoko, and they clearly had little to no animosity towards each other, which the original film essentially falsely depicted.
