Blasphemy!




(Kidding, ferbs. Many schools of thought on the bolded of course - and the very definition of 'punk' itself - but I get where you're coming from with the whole MC5/Stooges/et al lineage. Although technically Stooges are from Ann Arbor. But I digress.....)

MC5 are probably the first punk band. I dunno of anyone who'd really qualify as earlier.

But imagine growing up in Brisbane in the 60s and 70s. It would be stultifying.

If you post the Saints, you gotta post the Clowns and Ed Kuepper, the genius of both ...

Laughing Clowns didn't invent punk (which was the context of posting the Saints clip), but they do indeed rule.

And just to complete the circle (triangle?).....

John Prine is in hospital too with Covid, on a ventilator. Prayers for him.

John Prine passed away today sadly. A great songwriter

The world was better when both these fellas were alive. I actually posted this in the covers thread years ago but its worth sticking up here again. Chris Wilson singing a John Prine song.

Yep.

Along with Schlesinger that makes two significant losses now. Hopefully no more to come.

There's a few music industry notables that currently have it, including our own Thelma Plum. Think she's doing okay though. Jackson Browne likewise, who also has it. Radiohead's Ed O'Brien believes he has it, but hasn't been tested apparently. There's quite a few more.

Anyway, back to the sad loss of the great John Prine.

Recall posting a clip of his not so long ago in this thread. Big fan of his work.

Love this duet from the Letterman show with My Morning Jacket's Jim James.




All the best, JP.

Funny how old footage of the Fab Four still makes you smile. I loved watching a couple of these.
In my cerebral self, Lennon will always be my fave, but in my heart self, it's George all the way.

Such an awesome tribute from Ringo:




And from George to John:





Song for Covid19:






And an awesomely uplifting, silly blast from the past. (And what's wrong with that?)
Thanks Paul.

Music seems more important than ever right now. And I don't mean just the people all over the world, the opera singers, and the artists who are singing to people out on their balconies, but that's part of it. The creatives are going to be important to our healing going forward.

This one's for Ferb's
