I hold myself to a higher standard than others do… With that in mind, I wanted to remedy a few minor issues that come with 40 years of preaching rock ‘n’ roll.

Amen, brother.

Big hairy balls of rockness.

“Jailbreak” - Thin Lizzy (1978)

An afterlife shout out to Gary Moore, who recently made the great chord progression to the sky. Yeah, I know he didn’t play on the original recording of this – my favorite Thin Lizzy cut – but he shreds on this live perf.

Ah, memories of listening to new record releases on friends’ basement turntables, with Spencer’s Gifts black light posters and the lingering aroma of cheap, Saturday night incense and stale, beer-soaked shag carpeting.

“The Marshall Plan” - Blue Öyster Cult, from “Cultosaurus Erectus” (1980)

What musical child of the 70’s and early 80’s doesn’t recall Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert? Only a daring few remember the now departed Kirshner’s cameo in this track (and video).

Rock in Peace.
