What Music Are You Listening To? - January 2023

Not music but I listened to a radio interview The Sex Pistols did on the day of their gig at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on January 16th 1978.
That was the day they broke up and Johnny Rotten finished the set by saying to the crowd: “Ever Get the Feeling You've Been Cheated? Good night."
Of course they reformed in 1996 but it was still great to hear them being interviewed and they sound like they're having a laugh and getting on well. You'd never guess that they'd break up only a few hours later.
It's only 10 minutes long and half of it is people phoning in with questions. One of the people just screams "fuck you guys!" and hangs up. The lads are basically taking the piss out of everyone who calls in, even those who actually asked a question. Always makes me laugh.
Definitely worth a listen for any Pistols fans out there.

After listening to a few of their interviews I decided to put on my Pistols playlist.

Some interesting reading is the story of Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss founding A&M Records. Originally located on the former grounds of Charlie Chaplin’s old movie studio. Sounds like it was a great place to work and make music.
Here’s one of my favorite, and most recent, David Crosby’s collaborations. RIP
There is a hard honky tonk country genre of pretty girl singers who basically imitate Kitty Wells singing It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.
Most pretty girl singers get their start being taken from one Christian Church to another on Sunday mornings when they are little, due to an old Christian Church tradition that any special music must be paid for and can’t be the preacher’s daughter or an elder’s sister but a true professional act.
Let her sing gospel songs in churches until she’s grown and then headline the honky tonk bars long enough, and you get a Tea Goans, from Lowry City Missouri.

at my advanced age , on the rare times I do listen to music, it is what I listened to in high school. Beatles, Moms&Pops,jan & Dean. Helps me to feel young again...
Wait a minute... here's one. John Duffey, what a picker!
