#MusicMonday #MichiganMonday Pretty good (but very brief) overview of legendary #Detroit rocker #ScottMorgan. He's been kicking out the jams for 60 years now and has a massive catalog of anthemic rock'n'roll. The #CultHeroes cover of "Pirate Music" is an all-time fave of mine. Bonus: I've met him a couple of times and he's a super nice guy.

I am sooooo feelin this on deck tonight. This song kinda reminds of that time at my first album rock radio gig in the mid 80s I got a call on the radio station’s request line from a kind lady who invited me to an orgy after I was through with my airshift. I politely declined.

Well, I adopted not one but two male cats today, one a five year-old tuxedo cat like Kidder Cat was named Gizmo (he doesn’t have a tail) and a three year-old named Nubs. I pick them up Monday from the county humane society. More on that later. Now, though, the evening’s “live” selection here on deck, a really good rendition of my favorite Pretenders tune featuring Neil Young on some guitar.

"Runnin' Down a Dream" is a song co-written and recorded by #TomPetty. It was released in July 1989 as the second single from his first solo album #FullMoonFever. "#RunninDownADream" achieved reasonable chart success, reaching number 23 both in Canada and on the US #Billboard Hot 100 and the top of the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. It has since garnered significant airplay on #classicRock stations, and lent its name to the #2007Documentary on Tom Petty.

The Beatles "Abbey Road" – 1969
A timeless masterpiece blending rock, pop, and harmony with iconic moments like “Come Together” and the majestic medley on Side B. The final recording by the Fab Four, sealed with that legendary cover walk...
"Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo" is a rock song written by American musician #RickDerringer. It was first recorded in 1970 by Johnny Winter and his band #JohnnyWinterAnd, of which Derringer was a member. In 1973, Derringer recorded a solo version, which was his only top 40 chart hit as a solo artist in the US. It became a staple of 1970s #classicRock radio and rock music compilations. Both Winter and Derringer have recorded multiple live versions of the song.

The Doors
1967 U.S. pressing
Jim Morrison was not a poet. I will not tolerate that nonsense. To call him a poet is an insult to ACTUAL poets. So get out of here with that shit.
He WAS however, a GREAT rock singer, and a great frontman. And the first Doors album (the only album of theirs ON WHOLE that I’ve ever given a shit about), is one of the most electrifying debut albums ever, of any genre.
It came out a whole ten years before I was born, so I can only imagine what it must have been like to experience it in real time, and experience that band live from 67-68.
My favorite “classic rock” album of all time.

George Kooymans, one of the founding members of Golden Earring died today, at the age of 76. RIP George.
Having a wee Black Sabbath memorial morning while #listeningandediting this morning, the first four albums ought to do it :) Remembering going round to Davy McKibbens house to listen to the new album by a new rock band he'd bought and being blown away by it, probably the first truly HEAVY rock I ever heard! That rain, the tolling bell ..... #ClassicRock
I accidentally listened to 5 hours of Fanny.
I’ve been listening to full albums, and I have a series of playlists where I queue up albums to listen to. When I get a recommendation of a band I don’t know, I often pick whichever album shows up the most in their top ten list.
Apparently when someone recommended Fanny 1-2 years ago, I grabbed their ultimate collection release. By the time I realized that I said f it, might as well finish.
Rest easy, Ozzy.

Got no religion
Don’t need no friends
Got all I want and I don't need to pretend
Don't try to reach me
‘Cause I'll tear up your mind
I've seen the future and I've left it behind
