I went through a heavy Gong period. Have you heard the the album Allen made in the 90s with Kramer (a briefly popular show-gazer producer for bands like Galaxy 500)? I've been searching for an article I read a few years ago that really surprised me but I can'r find it anywhere. It was quoting Allen as being really regretful about many things and disillusioned. I was just surprised, almost as if it seemed like a put-on. How could a guy regret his whole career? I wanted to reread it to see if I was remembering the article correctly or if my memory is off. I loved the Gong stuff in college and the 90s Allen album is worth a listen also. It's called "Who's Afraid?"

I located the article. It still seems like a fantastic description of Allen and interesting to ponder. Is it true? I don't know. But it might be the thoughts going through anyone's head who lived through those kinds of things. It MIGHT BE. I was in a band for many years. I wrote songs and travelled and played. It wasn't a success. Still, I resonate with the anxiety of Allen though he was a huge success and there's no comparison.

Jonn Serrie - Elysian Lightships, from Elysian Lightships (2023). Been some time since this ambient pioneer released an album, but I'm checking it out now. Definitely worth the wait, if you're into minimalist, space-ambient, that is.
Currently listening to Ryuichi Sakamoto ~ Thousand Knives. Rest In Peace.
Now playing Julie London - In Person At The Americana (1964)
My mom's favorite artist and the best voice of the 20th Century...
Exile on Main St.
I know this is a highly rated Stones album but no matter how much I try, it isn’t a good rated spin for me compared to some others by the Stoners.

I normally would just post a picture of the album, but when folks ask me about Alabama music… you just have ro hear it. These kids do a great job and rock the billy. I am also really proud of my daughter’s boyfriend for being involved with this band. Check ‘em out.
This has become an ear worm for me after two children and now two grand kids who are big Beetlejuice fans.
Great orchestral version of a cinematic classic
I saw him once many years ago...had never heard of him, but he was opening for, I think it was America if I remember right. I thought he did a good set. Never really followed him, but every now and then something reminds me of him. I can certainly appreciate what he wrote in that song.
