We had a bit of a detour on Marcy’s Absolute Immunity post. To get it out of the way here, yes I think the absolute immunity claim is ludicrous. But that is what Trump does.
But the detour started with Adrian Belew being underrated. He was, and still is. What about other legendary, yet still underrated guitarists? I’ll throw out a few names off the top of my head, and let the discussion begin.
Frank Zappa. If you did not see him live, you may not understand how freakishly good of a guitar player he was.
Bill Nelson. Of Be Bop Deluxe. Just spectacular.
Earl Slick. Probably best known for his Bowie collaborations, starting with Diamond Dogs.
Ariel Bender of Mott The Hoople. Real name is Luther Grosvenor. He was great.
Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner. Probably best known for their work with Lou Reed, but also with Alice Cooper. They come as a pair.
The list is endless, so have at it!
The MLB playoffs are underway. Houston still seems very alive and Verlander still clutch. The DBacks somehow or another clobbered the Dodgers in game one. Not sure they can keep it up, but that was fun.
In what I can only term a tragedy, Verstappen won his second drivers’ championship yesterday in a stupid sprint race in Qatar. No, still not going to give Max the first one, because that was simply, and wrongfully, stolen by the FIA from Lewis Hamilton.
If you have not been watching the WNBA playoffs, you are missing out. The NY Liberty and Las Vegas Aces are the real deal.
Alright, hoop it up and let loose.
