I'm not saying that when my father decided to explain beat for beat the exact things that happened during both of the comedy specials he enjoyed on Netflix recently and how entranced he was by the magic tricks during one of them that I briefly understood exactly what it must be like to listen to me talk about music, but....

I hope they get to learn about how the New Jersey State Assembly once tried to pass a bill naming "Born to Run" the official state song.

It includes lyrics about wanting to get the fuck out of New Jersey.

#bruce springsteen #i'm entitled to make this joke as my father is from freehold new jersey #he did in fact get out #i really loved my recent trip out though #great food nice people lovely sights #i see your vision kikiinnewjersey

Being there when someone hears "Jungleland" for the first time is better than any drug.

Kind of obsessed with this version of "It's The End of the World As We Know It" where Michael Stipe becomes approximately fifty times more Georgia than he's ever been before.

#michael stipe #r.e.m.#their whole unplugged show is incredible but the decision to just go full country here was both wild and amazing #incidentally also how I sound after approximately one (1) drink

I told my wife that people on the R.E.M. subreddit keep misspelling the song "Kohoutek" as "Kahoutek"--a pity, as I have a fondness for the song, and Fables of the Reconstruction is my favorite of their albums.

She asked me in return, "well, does Michael Stipe sing it with an "a" or an "o"?"

I replied that he has never enunciated anything, ever, but it was named after both a real comet and a person. We decided to put the song on to assess.

I was treated to my wife's face scrunching up more and more like Kermit the Frog's before she finally said "...oh my god, there are words to this and not just sounds?" Admittedly, the car speakers did not help.

The final verdict did not land on a definitive "a" or "o", but she did settle on a firm statement: if her pipes got haunted, they would sound very much like Kohoutek.

Learning to drive so that i may have a more complex and nuanced understanding of the themes within bruce springsteens music

This entire album is massively underappreciated, even in the context of Van's other work. The composition on "Cul De Sac" is both so layered and so gentle, that kind of lovely folk nostalgia that the whole album is suffused with, and the vocals are well and away incredible.

#van morrison #veedon fleece #i suffer the curse eternally of being a fan of van's music for so many reasons #not the least of which being that no one i know will listen to him with me #i remain ecstatic that i own this album on vinyl because it's absolutely impossible to get your hands on a good copy #Spotify

I can be trusted to be normal about rock music of the 1970s and 80s.

Alright tell me in the tags, what’s Your Poem? That poem you heard once and it has dwelt within you ever since?

#full moon by elinor wylie #shouldering the thoughts i loathed #in their corrupt disguises cloathed #morality i could not tear #from my ribs to leave them bare #ivory in silver air

I think there's something deeply funny about the fact that I'm trying to get my mother to listen to T. Rex and she's trying to get me to listen to Taylor Swift.

#isn't this supposed to go the other way #should we not be sharing the popular music of our own generations

getting fixated on something is funny because the first like week i have an insatiable need to tell everyone i know about it and spread the good word but by weeks 2 and 3 it becomes so intense and personal that even hearing it mentioned in public makes me sweat as if a dark secret was alluded to

#bruce springsteen #honestly too many rock artists by this point actually #but brucie baby is number one always

I love how this pic of Marc Bolan and David Bowie displays such an intense difference in attractiveness that Marc looks like a beautiful woman and David looks like a nerd boy in a Make A Wish situation.

#not to rag on david bowie but this picture is not it and also any of us would look like the ugly friend next to marc bolan #marc bolan #david bowie
