    Not a country music fan at all, but Chris Stapleton coming to Winnipeg as the only Canadian stop on his tour is pretty cool. That guy has one of the best voices in music, IMO.

  • By most accounts that I've seen, he was a democrat.  He was loud and proud about his patriotism, but he was less conservative than most people thought.

so I mostly like aggressive music but recently my mom has fallen for Elton John's greatest hits. She lives alone back in t-bay and she's got some cognitive stuff going on so anything she gets enthusiastic about I want to support.  She gifted me an EJ CD and we are listening and swapping emails about the tunes.

The songs are decent ... Sir Elton knows his **** ... but I think my favorite part of his act is the old costumes.  Damn, that man could peacock better than anyone.  Every one of these outfits is a gem.

I think the Guess Who wrote a song about artists back in the day like Elton John called Glamour Boy.

Never heard of the tune, so I tracked it down.  Wow, Burton Cummings was a bitter man back in 1970.

Wikipedia says the song was about Bowie. Speaking of Bowie, here's Motörhead covering one of his big hits:

Motörhead is releasing a whole record of covers in the fall. Will have tunes from the Sex Pistols, the Stones, Priest, Twisted Sister, etc.  No Guess Who tho.
