Recently saw Steve & Willie on the Outlaw Music Festival tour. Big Daddy is easily my favorite Mellencamp release. Recently saw Brandi’s show too, amazing singer & an outstanding album! Will see ZZ Top in September (3rd time, RIP Dusty). EPTaS, absolute stone cold classic! Steve Winwood, a voice as strong as ever, impeccable songwriting over 60 years! I’m running out of room in my apartment, 😂! #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #rocknroll #countrymusic #folkmusic #steveearleandthedukes #johnmellencamp #willienelson #loreenamckennitt #brandicarlile #zztop #rodstewart #stevewinwood (at Oak Cliff, Dallas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgsUKXRvFhD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bought a single nosebleed ticket for @springsteen next February. It was pricey for upper deck, but not excessive (Verified Fan only, not dynamic pricing platinum 💩). Ticketmaster utilizing “dynamic pricing” platinum, creating outrageously excessive prices!! #springsteenfans justifiably ANGRY & venting their righteous exasperation all over FB, IG, Twitter, etc. While I am happy to have purchased a reasonably priced ticket, I am deeply saddened by the whole debacle! #springsteentour2023 #springsteen (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgUnigbuhQI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Looking up Steve Earle’s fiddle player, find out she’s Eleanor Whitmore, married to Earle’s guitarist Chris Masterson, comprising The Mastersons @themastersons They opened for, and played with, Steve when I saw at House of Blues 2017, 2018 (I can’t remember!) Great players & loved her “Abort Abbott” t-shirt she wore yesterday! #eleanorwhitmore #themastersons #steveearleandthedukes #abortabbott https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfk1dbMsmXK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@thepretendershq Pretenders (2021 reissue, remaster, limited edition, red vinyl); Pretenders II (2021 reissue, remaster, limited edition, white vinyl). After watching Austinite @sydneychandler_ Sydney Chandler’s show-stealing performance Chrissy Hynde in @pistol Pistol, I realized I had NO Pretenders records- zero, nada, zilch! I saw the band open for The Who, 2006 & loved every minute! So I perused the band’s website & came across these two reissues (via Rhino Records). How the fuck have I never had these two outstandingly brilliant releases?!? I’m just blown away by Chrissy’s passionate songwriting & singing! All good credit due to the late Pete Farndon & James Honeyman-Scott, as well as Martin Chambers (still banging the skins in the band), but it’s Chrissy’s show! And, in the shadow of SCOTUS decision re: Roe v. Wade, I am reminded of the power of so many women who have rocked my world, helping me, a dumb ass dude, understand women making choices for their lives, in spite of prevalent sexism! I don’t post political views here, just focusing on the music I love via vinyl. But music is often political, influencing us. Chrissy is a contrarian & would probably tell me to fuck off trying to make her fit any sort of political box, though she’s always been outspoken, clear in her choice as a woman with a guitar & voice!
