About as far from a rocker as one can get but here are a couple of Irish chicks making pure magic.

"Years ago, we all thought it was a joke, see?
That every kid got a motherf--king trophy
But yo homie, here's the situation
A nation of pussies is our next generation
And these minions and their agendas
Every opinion has a millennial offended
But this amendment one, it rings true
And if you don't dissent, bitch, then see number two"

The other day I asked Alexa to play Americana music. In her infinite wisdom, she brought up a playlist called Americana Soul, which was totally different music. But, I listened to it anyways and heard this song by Leon Bridges and Khruangbin "Texas Sun"

It is a lovely song,but the video really makes it. It brought to mind something I read years ago from the poet Merrill Gilfillan:

On this continent and in the psyche of its people the plains have always been a staggering presence, a place for transformation, bafflement, or heartbreak. From the east they are a release from the clawing of swamp and tangle and human density. From the west they are a drop and a straightening after the kinks and strains of mountains. Entered from any direction they are a new air, a joy to behold, a combination of large-scale intimidations and primordial inner acoustics.

Texas Sun is a monster song.

I am sitting here waiting and watching my bids in the Love of the Game auction closing tonight and listening to the following song on repeat.

El Dorado by Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway

I've been listening to a lot of thrash metal lately, but I think this is kicking off a bluegrass phase.

No matter how many times I hear her, I still get chills down my spine. Here's Linda Ronstadt with a fantastic cover of Tumbling Dice

To quote the great Willie Nelson "There are two kinds of men in this world, those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who have never heard of her."

When you see her perform a song, you can understand how she made men see hearts in their eyes.

The album of standards she did with Nelson Riddle Orchestra is one of my all time favorites. There is lalso a really good documentary about her called "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice." Well worth a watch.
