    I have a story about the Aquarium Rescue Unit. Their bass player Oteil tried to steal my girlfriend when my band opened for them at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor. She was boarding their tour bus as I was loading our band van, but I managed to talk her out of leaving with them. Dude is amazingly...

    2025 Reading Challenge

    Book 3 - Portnoy's Complaint - Phillip Roth Pretty funny here and there, overall it's great satire, but felt a bit long. It's structured in first person-to-therapist delivery, I found myself losing focus and skimming at times.

    Day 7 - National Wear Red Day Please don't confuse my laziness for apathy. I love this album, and someone here turned me on to it...I just don't remember. AOTM maybe? I didn't do a search.

    I just spun this the other day, unrelated to the challenge. It's so powerful, when one chooses to listen to this, it's a choice. ❤️

    Day 6 - National Frozen Yogurt Day - Play something that's a quality substitute for the real thing. Mick Taylor took over nicely, and is a big part of my favorite Stones era.

    Day 5 - National Weatherperson's Day - Play something that reminds you of some kind of weather. With the current cold temps and an ice storm headed our way tonight, I decided to play something that reminds me of summer. Obviously the title does, but also, my mom played this album when I was a...

    Golf?

    That's a great, thoughtful post. Thanks. I'm probably doing it...there are probably a dozen courses within 20 miles of me so finding a pro won't be difficult.

    Day 4 - Rosa Parks Day - Play something that stood it's ground, and fought for what's right. FZ came to mind pretty quickly for this prompt.

    Day 3 - National Golden Retriever Day - Play a record that you keep coming back to, like that retriever endlessly chasing the ball. I spun this last night and forgot to post. Anyway, I love this prompt. Many ways to approach it. I went with this one because whenever I need to grab something...

    Day 2 - Groundhog Day - Play a cover song. I'll play this and send an olive branch to our Canadian members. I'm sorry. I sure the f*ck didn't vote for this. It's k.d. Lang covering other Canadian artists, and yep, it's beautiful.
