God, you two are as bad as my brother in law.
What is this absurd, irrational, cult-like obsession with The Dude?
I enjoyed that flick as much as the next guy,. Nonetheless, I am not a Deist.

Well, again, you're both as nuts as me. And that's saying something. I didn't know Townes was on the soundtrack.
OT: Recall young Steve Earle,
his close friendship with Townes
ruptured when Van Zandt thought it amusing to play Russian roulet with a loaded pistol
Steve
repaired his relationship with his first born, singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle
who died in 2020 of a fentanyl overdose

Okay, making good on a promise (or threat, depending on your POV).
Big, big Blondie and Deborah Harry fan for several reasons. I could fill three pages of this thread with the perfect, idiosyncratic pop that was Blondie, produced with a deft touch by Mike Chapman,

Deaf, Dumb & Blonde (1989). A lot of (to me) filler on that one, which was produced by former boyfriend and forever friend Chris Stein,

All of the ballads are lovely. The first single:
"Maybe For Sure,"
"Calmarie,"
"Brite Side,"
Some less than stellar lyrics, but an affecting glance back at the early days of the NY scene @ CBGB's, etc.,
Love love love Blondie. Such a great band and Deborah Harry was cool with a capital C. And pretty damn attractive too.
Pretty Baby was one of my all time favorites.
Great stuff, and good question.
Young Dylan knows his subject well.
Brian once famously said that "Music is the voice of God." And it is.
It's both touching and hilarious how jazzed Brian gets at the mere mention of Phil Spector's revolutionary writing and production on the Ronnettes instant classic, Be My Baby (1963),

That's in my top ten Blondie as well.
The Face. God damn she was/is one beautiful woman,

Blues lose again, let the trade talk continue. Boston could use another O'Reilly. Give Ryan #42 and we can nickname him Raz. Bobby Bortuzzo was born to be a Bruin, him and Pasta could hang out on Wednesday's with the Prince spaghetti kid Anthony in the North End. Ladyfan can pick 'em up at Logan.

You don't mess around with Jim Montgomery...
Start of the season thought we'd be fighting for a playoff spot around the All Star break so to be on top of the standings is like floating on cloud nine. Beat the Leafs Weds. and the last three games mean this.

I meant Justin Townes Earle. Addiction took away a massive talent. Not a new story, but.....

Mrs. Number 8 and my wedding song......
It certainly wasn't a new song at the time we got married, but even so... a feeew years ago now.
I was punching way out of my weight class then.... and still am.

Building the soundtrack to Baby Jake’s life, and I tell Alexa to play “Dirty Work” by Steely Dan every time he makes a poopy diaper.

I'll check. I've heard the name, but never heard a note.
Suspect the B's are in for a loss to TO.
Silver Silver: Plenty of time to regroup, recalibrate, reimagine.
If they blow the rest of the way, or it's one and done in the playoffs, you can come back to me and say "I told you so."
Not betting on a deep playoff run -- I'll believe they're the real deal when I see it late in season -- never mind Cup dreams.
The good thing: These B's knees have two who have been all the way, and back, in Patrice and Brad.
They aren't the 2018 TBL (who, incidentally, went on to win back to back Cups).
Absent Shawn Thorton, Mark Recchi and Z, this "group" may figure it out.
