October 6, 20204 yr comment_485954 Man, Van Halen was such a good band. Saw them in 2012, not an amazing show but the ten minute EVH guitar solo was amazing. RIP EVH.
October 6, 20204 yr comment_485956 I'm not a huge rock guy by any means, and VH heyday was a bit before my time, but man, they had some songs. "Jump" will always equate to the Winnipeg Jets in my mind, and Panama....that scene in Superbad where Hader and Rogen (as the cops) are drunk and smashing up the cop car.....just one and the same, to me. A legendary group, no question.

October 29, 20204 yr comment_487846 I've been mentally preparing myself for the loss of Willie and Dolly for some time now. Willie's been in poor health, off and on, for awhile. Gave up the weed 'cause his lungs were taking a beating. Not sure how much longer he's got. Dolly seems ageless, but time makes fools of us all...

I have Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics on pre-odder on Audible. I can't wait to hear it. Edited October 29, 20204 yr by JCon

Her "When Life Is Good Again" is the best pandemic-themed piece of art I've heard/seen this year......absolutely fantastic.
October 29, 20204 yr comment_487900 Really good Dolly doc that played on A&E is on Netflix. If I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s I would of had a huge crush on Dolly lol.

If I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s I would of had a huge crush on Dolly lol. every one of those guys on the circuit back in the day tried to get with her, but no luck. Two stories: 1) Really good songwriter pal of mine has a best friend that was a "house writer" (worked for a big publishing company in Nash) for some years. The "common knowledge" that nobody spoke about was that Dolly is actually gay, and her marriage has always been a "sham", if you will, to keep up appearances in uber-Christian Nashville. 2) Merle Haggard autobiography from back around 1980..... tells an amazing story about being out on the road, staying at some random hotel. Bang bang bang on the door at like 2am....opens it....it's George Jones. Just hammered. So the two of them sit around, drinking in the middle of the night in some shithole hotel room.....and they decide it's a good idea to phone up Dolly and try to get a date. It didn't work out. Ha ha ha. Still love that story...can only imagine. I stand by the fact that she's the most talented artist in the history of Country music...writer, singer, instrumentalist....a ridiculous talent that we might never see again.
