Their personal opinions/attitudes/behaviour make no difference to the enjoyment I get from the work of great athletes, writers, musicians, etc.

All the other "Kings" are just ******* pretenders.

I once told a local librarian who was being badgered to ban some book or other that if you banned books on the basis of their authors' morality, you'd lose 50% of American books, 75% of English books, and 90% of French books.
And Irish literature would have ended with The Book of Kells.
That mindset has worked wonders for comedy though. We now have an industry where none of them are actually funny.
Mind you at least on television Australia was well ahead of the curve.

I think the rot set in on American TV when Joan Rivers was banned for saying that Malibu was where you lay on the stars and looked at the sand.

Still sounds as awesome as when I first heard it nearly 50 years ago
charity gig at Ronnie Scott's club, complete show with Daltrey, Moore, Lake, Ballard, Brooker
love to watch musicians playing outside of their normal lineups, great sets

Been dusting off John Fogerty's solo material these past few weeks...Old Shep a particular fave, as it was for Quo and Dave Edmunds...
Impossible not to love Jackie DeShannon, as this perfect moment in time shows...that smile, the wink...and will always wonder if the guy she wrote it about ever knew...from the world of dreams, via the TV show Hollywood A Go Go...
Jackie was somewhat discovered by Eddie Cochran and both wrote songs with the great lyricist Shari Sheeley.
I only mention this because yesterday I walked past 5 young teenage girls on the street chatting - and no joke - one of them was wearing an Eddie Cochran t-shirt. She couldn't have been more than 13. My knees did buckle, I must admit.
If her parents are reading this - respect and love. It made my year.

Have been revisiting these old friends, absolutely wore out their first three albums. That lead guitar is still an influence on me when I play lead lines. Too bad they faded.
Just so many from soul in the 70s
from Muscles Shoals
heard something from these guys on a commercial that reminded me of how insanely talented they were, disco notwithstanding.

Hadn't seen the Bee Gees clip before - it's fantastic. Barry is a song-writing genius, especially his skill in writing original material for specific artists. To Love Somebody is just the perfect song for Otis Redding, arguably the greatest voice and talent of his generation. Dead at 26...it's still a shocking loss.
damn straight, he's the man
think he might have pipped the Stones with this performance
Been spending the week Stoned, with the Stray Cats comp getting some play...I'd forgotten (probably with good reason) how truly awful their attempt at the Otis classic truly is.
It's not even funny-bad, just garbage-bad, to picked up on Tuesday mornings with the recycling...
Yet, two songs later, that lick spits out, the base thumps as the tom-tom rolls...and the hips yet again 'stop, and look around' for space in the loungeroom...

LOL definitely, soul was not their forte. As I heard it, their manager/producer would stick them in a studio, give them a song to learn in a few minutes, record after a take or two and that was it. The Stones themselves didn't what Oldham was going to do with the tracks. Still, the screaming girls probably got off on those, even if they could barely hear them.
Early Stones rockers, blues, their own compositions, and the covers they recorded in Chess were the best of the Jones era IMO.
Heart of Stone, solo pretty much by Jimmy Page on the demo
Great riff,

2020 was a friend football wise. But now there is only burial...
couple of jams from that Chuck Berry movie from years ago

Met the new neighbours this morning (courtesy of our dogs) and while it's taken more than 24 years, I can finally rush to the window and say I'm...
