When GHS came out in 1973 nobody I knew bought it. All I heard of it was radio play of Angie and Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Heartbreaker. Didn't like the latter. Actively hated the former... sappy pabulum IMO. I skipped GHS, and IORR and Black and Blue after it. Stuck with my Sticky Fingers, Exile, and Hot Rocks until the lads bounced back with Some Girls, ER, & Tattoo You. Didn't hear

May 28, 1971 (Friday) Mason Norfolk Virginia Norfolk Academy Gymnasium Near the end of 11th grade. I was 16. Mason was a 1968-1974 Norfolk heavy rock trio who played a kind of, as best I can recall, Cream meets Tull sound. And they were good! They had recently released what would be their only album, Harbour. The concert was during the school day as well. No trip or tickets needed. S

I've enjoyed sociobiology, at the layman's level, ever since it broke in the 1970s in Edward O. Wilson's book of the same name. The preferred term has since become evolutionary psychology. I'm interested in anthropology overall as well. And I love music. The subjects overlap when pondering the matter of just why we human beings love music so much. What is its evolutionar

Arcade Fire tonight in DC. Hoping it will be mostly from Funeral (2004), Neon Bible (2007), and The Suburbs (2010), but realistically expect most is going to be from Reflektor (2013), Everything Now (2017) and We (2022), their albums from after they lost the thread. They do have the ability, though, to raise the roof live on a lot of songs.

I was a big fan of Linda Ronstadt throughout the 1970s and into the early 1980s when she still sang rock music. Before she went Gilbert & Sullivan and Nelson Riddle. I can't remember why I never made the effort to see her live back then. Most likely because I like my rock n roll dynamic and she was a stand-at-the-mic-&-sing performer, I guess. Whatever the reason, I regret now having
