That looks like a close call.  :-\

Not touring with Fleetwood Mac might have saved his life.

It might have been a blessing in disguise.  I've tried to not get too upset when something doesn't go the way I think it should.  You don't always know for sure if something is going to be good or bad.  I was one of the ones not happy about Lindsey Buckingham getting kicked out.  But it looks like I might have been wrong.

And now for something more juvenile ...

Harmless German landfill pomp melodic pop metal - utterly engineered and manufactured -, wouldn't sound out of place at the Eurovision Song Contest ...



I have a hunch that - as usual - the Dutch and their Within Temptation are to blame for this. :mrgreen: Anyway, I bought the CD just to see (hear) what it's like.

And now - for good measure - I'm giving the Dutch inspiration behind this a listen:

Listening to East L.A. garage rock tonight.

Back in the days when owning an Olds was cool.

Currently reappreciating REO Speedwagon with a new boxed set (I heard the one containing their earlier work with an ever-changing line-up of singers just a few weeks ago).





This version of one of their, uhum, minor hits floored me, especially how they "Bob Marley-ed up" the chorus, lovely (and showing they have a sense of humour):



I never gave this as close a listen before, but Neil Doughty's keyboard and especially piano playing is magnificent.

Uwe, that vid of Alexis and Steve is one of the best things ever. I watched it too much the last years.

Several people do a good job on this song, but I think I may like Chuck Berry's version the best.
